Discover Hässleholm

When looking for a hotel in Hässleholm, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. Cultural offerings, public art, landscapes and cycling offer different ways to explore the town and its surroundings. The places and activities below give you specific ideas to help plan your stay around the things that interest you.

Culture and art in the town centre

Hässleholm Kulturhus is next to Hässleholm Central Station. Its events programme includes music, theatre, activities for children and young people, talks and literature, dance, shows and entertainment, exhibitions, and film. The exhibition hall showcases a wide range of inspiring art across 150 square metres. The town library in Kulturhus hosts, among other things, reading groups, author visits and talks. If a specific event is the reason for your trip, check the date in advance. The Kulturhus’s location next to the Central Station is a useful landmark if you plan to make culture a focus of your stay.

For public art in the town centre, the sculpture guide suggests a walking route. You can pick it up at Kulturhuset, the library or the town hall in Hässleholm. Be Here Then is an app for walks focused on local history and public art. The two options offer different perspectives: the sculpture guide is specifically about public art in the centre, while Be Here Then also explores local history. Another historical landmark is Hässleholm Church, built in 1914 at the highest point of Första Avenyn, in the heart of the town centre. Its year of construction and location provide a specific historical point of interest for a town walk.

Landscapes and nature

At Hässleholmsgården, the buildings and lawns are framed by beech forest. Both the open spaces and buildings, as well as the surrounding woodland, shape the landscape here. Hovdala Hiking Centre lies just south of Hässleholm, by Lake Finjasjön. The valley of the Hovdalaån is home to 18 of Sweden’s 19 bat species. This number of species makes the valley a notable natural attraction for anyone interested in bats.

Cycling and trails

Two options for outdoor exercise have different features: the Magle wetland, in the Hässleholm area, has gravel paths for walking, cycling and running. The Göingerundan starts in central Hässleholm, is 25 kilometres long and fairly hilly. If you want to combine your trip with some exercise, you can choose between routes for different activities and a specific, hilly cycling tour.
