Kristianstad Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Kristianstad

Parts of Kristianstad lie below sea level with wetland areas and are protected against flooding by dikes and water pumps. Sweden's lowest point, 2.41 m below sea level, is in Kristianstad. The city centre stretches from the railway station and Helge å in the west to the moats that surround the centre. Tree-lined boulevards are a feature of the cityscape. The boulevards gave rise to perhaps the city's one-time nickname, Little Paris. The city's oldest profane building dates from 1654. In the city centre there are two squares, Stora Torg in the north and Lilla Torg in the south.
