Hollviken is a locality situated in Vellinge Municipality, Skane County, Sweden
with 10,607 inhabitants in 2010. It is located close to both Malmo and the Oresund Bridge which connects Sweden and Denmark. The town is a popular summer vacation spot for northern Europeans, who are attracted to its sand beaches and the historical sites which date back to the time of the Vikings. The peninsula on which the town is situated is unique because it is surrounded by two different seas: Oresund and The Baltic Sea. Prior to the 1960s, the peninsula remained mainly populated by wealthy businessmen from the Malmo region during the summers. Recently, however, it has begun to grow as a commuter town.
The city name : The name is taken from the bay northwest of the town, named Hollviken. The town received the name “Hollviksnas” in 1944, in order to avoid confusion with Horvik. However, this never gained popularity, which meant that the name’s name plates were changed back to the orally used “Hollviken” again in the late 1990’s
