Small country town rail station, served regularly by quick trains to Malmo. Train station features in several episodes of Wallander if you're ticking off shooting locations within the town.
Small, clean station close to the ferry to Bornholm. TIP: if you are catching the ferry to Bornholm as a foot passenger, head towards the red brick buildings and turn left at the end of the platform, cross the tracks and this will bring you to the ferry building. DO NOT head to the footbridge over the railway tracks as Google Maps indicates as this is for car passengers. Signage at the Station is poor, and as the trains can wait for some time, you cannot always see the ferry.
Loveliest and prettiest town in Sweden according to me. Unfortunately many of the shops in the city centre have closed down and many buildings are run down too, but Ystad is still worth seeing for its many medieval and early modern buildings and it still has a decent selection of restaurants and cafés. The old Abbey and the museum there are really interesting and the sea front is nice for a walk. Ystad beach is worth visiting during the summer months.
You'll find the station very close to Ystad center. Easy walking distance to whatever may be your goal for the day. Loads of cobblestoned streets, alleyways and squares. Use appropriate shoes!nThe station buildings are old, in brick and breathe history. One side leads to town and the other towards the European continent! Ferrys to and from Germany, Poland and the Danish island of Bornholm.nVery continental feel!
If you're at the train station in Ystad, don't miss the monument to the memory of Ernst-Hugo Järegård. It can be found just by the station and will give you a good laugh. To think that nothing better could be created for one of Sweden's most beloved actors is a disgrace.
