Trelleborg is the southernmost city of the whole Sweden. The name means "Viking age circular fort". It has become a bit famous for its palms, that only can be seen summertime. Trelleborg has one of Sweden's largest harbours and is connected with Germany by large ferries, so many tourists can be seen in the city. Sometimes there are more tourists than Swedes on the streets, since the center is pretty dead.
