Welcome to Trelleborg – Sweden’s southernmost city. Here, palm-lined streets meet coastal life, sandy beaches and a rich Viking heritage in a city that also serves as a gateway to Europe, with ferry connections to several destinations.

History & coastal life

Trelleborg is a city with deep historical roots and a strong connection to the sea. At its heart lies the reconstructed Viking fortress Trelleborgen, which gave the city its name and tells the story of life in the Viking Age. From here, it is only a short walk to the harbour – one of Sweden’s largest ferry ports – bustling with activity. The city’s location also makes it easy to reach both Malmö and Copenhagen for further adventures. Along the coast, popular beaches such as Dalabadet invite you to enjoy sun, sand and sea.

Culture & attractions

Beyond its Viking heritage, Trelleborg offers plenty of cultural highlights. At Trelleborg Museum, you can explore local history, art and archaeological finds. A stroll through the city centre brings you to shops, cafés and leafy parks, while summer transforms the city into a lively hub of events and markets. The iconic palm trees, planted in the 1980s, have become a symbol of Trelleborg and add to its southern European atmosphere.
