Planning a trip to Simrishamn

Getting There

By Car -- Because buses or trains from Sturup to Simrishamns require a time-consuming 2-hour transit from the nearest airport (the Lund/Malmö Airport at Sturup), most people opt to rent a car instead of flying. From Ystad, our last stopover, continue east along Route 10.

By Train -- Ten trains a day (eight on Sat and Sun) make the 45-minute run between Malmö and Simrishamn. Simrishamn's train and bus stations are both in the town center. For information, call tel. 0771/77-77-77.

By Bus -- Nine buses per day arrive from Kristianstad (four a day Sat-Sun), and 10 buses per day arrive from Ystad (three Sat-Sun). From Lund, there are eight daily buses. Tickets can be purchased onboard these buses. Call tel. 0771/77-77-77.
