Ystad is a town which is situated in Skåne County, on the southern tip of Sweden. Hiring a car from Ystad Railway Station gives you the freedom to explore the top class museums and art galleries. The sandy beaches are also a favourite destination with both locals and tourists. The town is famous for its association with the Swedish crime drama Wallander. Author Henning Mankell set his fictional detective series here and in the surrounding areas, if you want to bury yourself in the story.
Rent a car from Ystad Railway Station and drive just outside the town to Ystad Djurpark which is the local zoo. There are species from many continents and you can see animals like camels, monkeys, and meerkats. If children would like close contact with the animals you can head into the petting farm, meet the goats and have a pony ride. Just east of Ystad you will find Ales Stenar which is known as the Swedish Stonehenge. The monument consists of 59 stones and covers an area of 67 metres in length.
