01
Use Lund historic core as the orientation base, then group Lund historic anchor and Lund market and food route before crossing to the other side of Lund.
02
Give Lund waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Lund regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Lund regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
