Domkyrkan
Lund's magnificent Romanesque cathedral, Domkyrkan, with its impressive twin towers, is a must-see. Try to pop in at noon or ( and on Sunday and holidays) when the marvellous astronomical clock strikes up In Dulci Jubilo and the wooden figures at the top whirr into action. Within the crypt, you can find Finn, the mythological giant who helped construct the cathedral, and a 16th-century well carved with comical scenes.

Drottens Arkeologiska Museum
The underground Drottens Arkeologiska Museum contains the foundations of an 11th-century church, and has a fascinating but grisly collection of skeletons that build a picture of the Middle Ages through their diseases and amputations. The museum was closed at the time of writing: ask the tourist office for reopening details.
-
Historiska Museet
Just behind the cathedral, the rather old-fashioned Historiska Museet has a large collection of pre-Viking Age finds, including a 7000-year-old skeleton. It's joined with the Domkyrkomuseet, which explores the history of the church in the area; the rooms filled with countless statues of the crucified Christ are supremely creepy.
