Review & FAQ:

Ystad is a city made famous by the Kurt Wallander novels, which have been translated into English and adapted into several screen adaptations, but it’s more than just a setting for the books. Ystad, a beautiful and historical city located in the south of Sweden on the coast of the Baltic Sea, has numerous historic sites and a dynamic culture. Galleries, beaches, and museums – including the Film Museum – are abundant in Ystad, and history will come alive at the Grey Friar’s Monastery, which dates back to the 12th century, or Saint Petri’s Church and the museum inside it.
