Lund

046 / Pop 105,300
Centred on a striking cathedral (complete with a giant in the crypt and a magical clock),
learned Lund is a soulful blend of leafy parks, medieval abodes and coffee-sipping book-
worms. The city buzzes with students during the school year and remains busy through the
summer when visitors meander the cobblestone streets and enjoy the dense selection of
top-notch museums.
Lund is Sweden's second-oldest town, founded by the Danes around 1000 and once the
seat of the largest archbishopric in Europe. It's also the birthplace of the ink-jet printer!
