Sweden for a long weekend

Dd loves Sweden for some reason and is teaching herself Swedish. I'd love to take her for a long weekend but know nothing about it. She is 16 and we love food, shopping, nature. I love art galleries but she doesn't! Any tips or recommendations? Tack!

It's fab! Stockholm is beautiful but expensive for shopping- the library is particularly lovely. Alternatively if you can get a cheaper flight to Copenhagen, you can train over "the bridge" to Malmo, which is quote nice and there are lovely cpast walks north and south of the city. What's your budget like?

Flying to Denmark and getting the train sounds fab. Decent budget. What's Malmo like compared to Copenhagen do you know?

I don't know, but Malmo does look gorgeous.

The next town over from Malmö is Lund, a university town with a lot of cafes and small shops. I'd definitely recommend a wander around Lund with your daughter. The town is beautiful, as is the university. And visit the coast I'd you've time, any part. There is a sauna somewhere just north of Lund with a view across to Denmark but the name escapes me.

It used to be that if you paid for the train from Copenhagen to Malmö you could use the buses around both Skåne and Copenhagen for free, so keep your ticket/receipt. It also used to be 20% cheaper if you bought the tickets via a Jojo card (ask in Copenhagen). This is 10 years ago mind.

Oh and Copenhagen is a big city being Denmark's capital, Malmö on the other hand is a small working town. So it's like comparing any major city to any small town really. I'd spend time in Copenhagen, Malmö / Lund and at the coast (Lomma beach for example) personally.
