Eslöv is situated in the inland of Skåne some km northeast of Malmö and Lund and has almost 17 000 inhabitants (31 000 in the “metro”). Since 2005 it is considered part of Greater Malmö.
Eslöv has been named “Sweden’s most boring city” in a Swedish TV show by the TV personality Lasse Homqvist and the title is for many Swedes associated with Eslöv. (Holmqvist later told that he didn’t remember why he said that and that he actually meant Landskrona.) It is a bit rough on the edges and has no outstanding landmarks, but it actually looks ok and has some nice buildings.
Hotel Sten Stensson Sten, the grand hotel from 1993, located at Stora Torg has unfortunately fallen a bit into decay. It is considered the nicest building in Eslöv and summertime there are fountains in front of the building. It has Eslöv’s largest nightclub.
Eslöv reminds a bit of the redneck small towns in America.
Medborgarhuset (municipal building) from 1957 by the famous architect Hans Asplund.
Stora Torg has no significant buildings except for the hotel where this photo is taken from.
The sculpture “Snäckfågel” (shell bird) by Eric Grate at Stora Torg.

A very nice municipal building that stand out in Eslöv.
The same building and the church.
This jugend building belongs to Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan.
Lagerhuset is Eslöv’s only highrise. This picture doesn’t do it justice though, it is a pretty unusual red building, a former warehouse from 1918. It is Sweden’s tallest wooden highrise, 10 floors and 31 meter.
Eslövs kyrka is a neo gothic church from 1891, drawn by Carl Möller. It is the city’s tallest building.

Is this irony? Eslöv is really small, even by Swedish standards. 
Some people even consider it a suburb of Malmö.
