Trelleborg

Spend a day in Trelleborg: explore the harbour, museum and art gallery, then catch a ferry; no need to stay overnight.

Trelleborg is Sweden's southernmost port city. Its compact centre, harbour, museum and Axel Ebbe art gallery fit comfortably into a single day. Ferries to Germany and Poland run several times daily, making it a good stopover for road‑trip or cruise itineraries.
