Lund is fifteen minutes by train from Malmö and an hour from Copenhagen, including its airport. All trains [2] stop at Lund, including the X-2000 expresses from Gothenburg and Stockholm. There are also buses from Malmö.

Lund is certainly small enough to see most of it in an afternoon's walk. You can pick up a city map at the tourist office [3] just across the street from the cathedral.

The local Skånetrafiken buses [4] can get you to most areas of town. The hubs are around the train station, Botulfsplatsen, and the University Hospital (Universitetssjukhuset). Tickets are 17 SEK for as far as you want to go, if you're under 19 it's 10 SEK. If you are traveling as a pair, ask for a Duo ticket to save a few SEK.

The best place to catch a cab is by the train station. Right there you can also rent a bike for 20 SEK per day.

Budget

• Cyrus, Allhelgona kyrkogata. This restaurant is a little run-down, but their marinated grilled chicken pieces ("Juje kebab") are simple and delicious.
• Mondo, Kyrkogatan 23. Across from Lundagård, this cafe serves great sandwiches, soups, and pie for reasonable prices. Crowded during lunch hours, although takeaway is available.
• Tandoor, Bantorget. Indian restaurant. Once featured in national Swedish tabloid "Aftonbladet" due to poor hygienic and employee conditions. Current hygiene/employee situation unknown though the restaurant is best avoided.
• Hemma hos Greken, Sandgatan. This basement lunch establishment has a large student clientele but is open to all. Not your standard greek tourist fare, but a menu of traditional greek dishes. The bean soup, lentil soup (with or without garlic) and the meatloaf ("köttfärslimpa") are cheap and delicious. Large portions, and you can usually ask for more if you're still hungry afterwards.
• Govinda's, Bredgatan. Hare krishna vegetarian lunch restaurant. Unusual and often tasty food.
• Portofino, Sofiavägen 3, +46 46-14 92 10. Friendly neighborhood pizzeria with delivery.
• Lundakebab, Saluhallen, Mårtenstorget. Somewhat pricey, but their 100% Swedish beef kebabs are the best in Lund.
• Lunds Falafel, on the main street just south of Stortorget. A hole in the wall.
• Pölsemannen, Danish pölser (hot dogs) are sold at Mårtenstorget next to the kebab stand. Good prices and equally good hot dogs.

Mid-range

• Spisen (previously called Papaya), Magle L. Kyrkogata and Kiliansgatan, +46 46-37 04 02. Mid-range Swedish and Mexican.
• Cafe Finn, off Mårtenstorget, this cafe offers mid-priced Swedish food at a great location. The lunch specials are a good deal, and are best enjoyed during a nice spring or summer day out on the patio adjacent to the square.
• Stortorget, Stortorget, Reasonably priced good food.
• Tabemono, Vårfrug 8A (by Botulfs square), +46 46-15 91 41. Overpriced Japanese fare.

• V.E.S.P.A [11], Karl XI Gatan 1, +46 46-12 71 27. Trendy restaurant located just north of the station. Pizza and pasta using fresh ingredients, but somewhat pretentious. Mains 71-105 SEK.
• Carlssons Trädgård,[12] Mårtenstorget 6, +46 46-13 11 72. Popular bar with restaurant. Swedish/European cuisine. Lunches are good value (try the fish soup). Dinners are more elaborate and pricier, but still worth it.
• Masala House [13], Klostergatan 9, +46 46-30 36 20. The newest addition to Lund Indian eateries, an excellent Indian restaurant, made to a Swedish taste (if you really want it spicy, make sure to request REALLY INDIAN SPICY). A nice selection of dishes and drinks in a relaxed venue. They serve lunches of great value as well.
• Italia Il Ristorante [14], Lilla Fiskaregatan 11, +46 46-14 80 80. Great atmosphere, great pasta and great service. Probably the best Italian restaurant in town. Mains 105-240 SEK.

• The Old Bull Pub, Bantorget 2, +46 46-14 09 20. English pub with an impressive but overpriced selection of draft beers. Features a live dixieland jazz band every Tuesday night, and a karaoke contest on Saturdays.
• Bishop's Arms, Sankt Petri Kyrkogata. Expensive English pub with a good selection of British beers which are unfortunately often served ice-cold instead of the correct temperature. Good selection of whiskeys.
• Gloria's - sports bar.
• Cafe Ariman, Kungsgatan. Where the alternative crowd hangs out. Also has a bunch of oldtimers who spend their days playing board games. The best coffee shop, also has beer and club events on weekends.

There are a number of better pubs around Stortorget and Botulfs square.
