A day at the seaside

Go to Ribban, or Ribersborg as it’s actually called, if you want to feel the sand between your toes. The beach is perfect for families with children; kids can play and be both noisy and mischievous. The sea is very shallow which is good as it makes the water warmer and easier to bathe in.

Gastronomy

Good food is essential. Malmö’s got a wide range of culinary happenings. This is where some of the top chefs of the country will be found, so taste and enjoy! In the region of Skåne, everything is close, and a tip if you’re travelling by car is to visit Ängavallen, an ecological farm in Vellinge, south-west of Malmö.

People´s Park

Malmö Folkets Park (”the people’s park”) is an oasis for all ages and cultures. The little ones are of course bouncing about at the playground, or patting the animals. At the same time, the older children are riding on the roundabouts, and if you’re brave enough, there’s sure time for a trip in the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe. Here, you also find mini golf and a Terrarium. Now, who will become the golf champion of the family?

Sightseeing

See the good bits of Malmö! The city is easy to discover by foot, bike, car or buss as distances are fairly short and there are plenty of paths for you both to walk and bike on. Hire a bike and discover the city on your own or through joining a guided tour.

Scandinavian design

Plenty of fashion makers choose Malmö as their point of departure. At Lilla Torg, Hedmanska Gården and Form and Design Centre, you’ll encounter the most modern selection of Swedish and Scandinavian design.

Nightlife

In the nights during the summer, Lilla Torg right in the middle of the city is swarmed by people getting together under the parasols, always with heaters nearby. This is a place where you happily relax for a while, enjoy a nice dinner and catch up with friends. Another popular area is Davidshalls torg and the multicultural Möllevångstorget.

Malmö Museum

Welcome – if you dare! – to the previous fortress and jail of Malmö. This is the place where rough criminals were imprisoned until 1909. At present, it houses museums, art galleries and a cafe. If you would like to know more about the fascinating history, follow the tracks of the prison cat down to the cellar vaults – exciting both for children and adults.

Kogg Museum

The Kogg Museum is one of Malmö’s international sightseeing spots. This is where you get to see two full-scale copies of medieval “koggs”, the most common cargo ships of the time. Experience the 13th century! Feel the scent of tar and get your imagination going….

Water workshops

Tag along with SEA-U Water Workshop beneath the surface. This is where children, teenagers and adults can discover the fauna of Öresund using snorkels or landing nets. An amazing adventure only a few drops from the centre. Pack your picnic-bag and bring the whole family!

Fair trade shopping

In Malmö you’ll find shops of all kinds, selling anything between famous brands to little unique botiques where no produt is equal to another. As a red thread there is a pedestrian street running right through the city centre.

Skate capital of Sweden

Malmö is the unmistakable skating capital of Sweden. You certainly need to come here to try the skating parks out. If you don’t skate yourself, it’s almost as cool just standing aside watching. Don’t forget to try the wall for climbing nearby! Really fun!

A city in change

Malmö is a city in change. There are diggings and constructions sites all over the place, and a modern city is taking shape. The Western Harbour is the newest additional. Neighbouring the sea, you spot exciting architecture, restaurants and coffee hang-outs. Well suited for a lovely day by the sea.
