Cruises from Ystad
Ystad is a small but charming city in Scania, a part of southern Sweden that dates back to the 11thC and today has become a busy ferry port, local administrative centre, and tourist attraction. It still boasts a core of well-preserved quaint cobbled lanes, lined with hundreds of half-timbered cottages, and a central square oozing rural charm. The 40km of sandy beaches, dotted with outdoor food stalls, add to its appeal.
