SKÖVDE THROUGH THE AGES
Do you believe that life was better before, or are you simply curious about history? The ‘Skövde Förr och Nu’ tour will take you on a nostalgic journey through the city’s history. Along the way, you will see and hear images and stories of buildings that no longer exist, bringing the past to life.

STREET ART
It’s not only the buildings and the people that make up a city. Art is an important part of creating an interesting city, and it can be found all around us. The ‘Konstvägar’ tour takes you past artworks such as Saint Elin (a sculpture of the city’s patron saint), Piglets – But a Short Time to Live (cute pink granite piglets) and Goat and Ram (in Helen’s Park, once home to small farms with livestock).
