Ängelholm
Spend a half‑day on the beach and UFO memorial; add a night if you want a relaxed stay – 1 day is enough.
Ängelholm is a small coastal town in Scania with a long summer beach, a quirky UFO memorial and good rail links to Helsingborg, Malmö and Copenhagen. One day covers the main sights; an extra night adds beach time and easy access to nearby towns.
