We went to Lund primarily to meet up with our friend and colleague Matts who wanted to officially welcome us to Sweden. Before hooking up we checked into our room at The Grand Hotel. The room wasn't too grand, but the rest of the place was in a classic way. The staff had that incredible Swedish friendly thing going on and you had this feeling like you were staying in one of the hotels from the early days of the U.S. transcontinetal railroad.
Lund University, founded in 1666, is Sweden's biggest research focused university and heavily influences the feel of the town from a personality and architectural standpoint. Matts was running late so we took a walk around.We met up with Matts back at The Grand where he had made reservations for dinner. The restaurant is considered one of the best Swedish restaurants in the area and has an amazing wine list. As part of our welcome, Matts guided us through a first course of three kinds of herring, Swedish akavit and beer - simply sublime. For dessert we had another Swedish speciality, cloudberries, which were served with ice cream and a
confection that translates as "cake baked on a spit", but seems to be a meringue with added flour that is piped out and then baked. Cloudberries are very special, if you ever get a chance to have some, don't pass it up. After dinner Matts gave us a walking tour of town.The next day we made sure to make time to retrace a few of our steps to visit the Lund Cathedral, which was founded in 1085, and i renowned for its astrological clock. Then we jumped on the train to Malmo for the day.
Malmo is a great small city, with a beautiful medievil center. We only had a few hours there and so only took a walk around, visited the oldest church in town and had a few beers. If we had, had more time, a visit to the contemporary art museum seemed like a good idea as well as a visit to the Turning Torso tower which, as Sweden's tallest building looms above the city from miles away. 
Though as I understand it, you can't actually enter the building as a tourist. I remember watching the Discovery Channel's Extreme Engineering about the building of the tower. It was really exciting to see it so close.
