Lund, in the southern part of Sweden, is home to the country's second oldest university, which is one of the country's largest. The city also has many high-tech companies. Lund is fifteen minutes by train from Malmö and an hour from Copenhagen, including its airport. All trains stop at Lund, including the X-2000 expresses from Gothenburg and Stockholm. There are also buses from Malmö. Lund is certainly small enough to see most of it in an afternoon's walk. You can pick up a city map at the tourist office just across the street from the cathedral. The local Skånetrafiken buses can get you to most areas of town. The hubs are around the train station, Botulfsplatsen, and the University Hospital (Universitetssjukhuset). Tickets are 15 SEK for as far as you want to go, if you're under 19 it's 8 SEK. If you are traveling as a pair, ask for a Duo ticket to save a few SEK. The best place to catch a cab is by the train station. Right there you can also rent a bike for 20 SEK per day.
