Landskrona

Half a day for the citadel and a ferry to Ven island; one night if you want to cycle Ven and eat in town.

Landskrona is a small port town on the Öresund coast, 40 min by train from Malmö. Its main draw is a well-preserved 16th-century citadel and the ferry to car-free Ven island, where Tycho Brahe's observatories sit above bike paths. Most travellers use it as a half-day stop between Helsingborg and Malmö, or as a base for a day on Ven.
