About the places
The work can take place in two cities which are two prominent coastal cities in the southernmost region of Sweden. While they are only about 30 kilometres apart and even share a regional airport, they offer distinct atmospheres—one is a bustling historical “gateway” to Denmark, while the other is known for its relaxed seaside charm and unique landmarks.
The bigger city is Sweden’s one of the largest cities, close to Denmark. There is a vibrant urban centre with a blend of medieval history and modern coastal life. It is built on a geological fault, creating a unique “upper” and “lower” city layout.
The smaller one is located north of the bigger one. It is a scenic town known for its natural beauty and quirky history. It is a popular summer destination featuring a 6-kilometer-long sandy beach at a bay.
