A few minutes from the city centre
It’s within walking distance from Skövde’s central parts, and it’s hard to get lost on the way. From Skövde Travel Centre, walk north on Stationsgatan for a minute or two, past Regionens hus, until you reach a crossroads (where Stationsgatan turns into Mariestadsvägen). Wait for the green light at the pedestrian crossing, cross Hjovägen and step onto campus!
