Reputedly established in 990 by a Danish Viking king, Lund was formerly the religious, political, cultural and commercial centre for the whole of Scandinavia. The city of Lund is located a short distance from Malmö. It is conveniently located for both Malmö airport (Sturup) and Copenhagen airport (Kastrup) which has frequent onward connections to Malmö City Harbour by SAS hovercraft. Amidst the city's enhancing tapestry of cobbled streets and picturesque buildings are proud reminders of Lund's prominence, both past and present. The city is a centre for old architecture, folk culture and fine modern art, and is located close to Scania's many attractive beaches.
