Let me guide you to Malmö, a city that combines in a very intriguing way the folksy charm of Astrid Lindgren’s children’s tales and the hip atmosphere of a students’ town – which it is, actually.
In fact, Malmö has 320,000 inhabitants who share 77 square kilometers. This makes it, believe it or not, Sweden’s third-largest city – after Stockholm and Göteborg.
Malmö is located in the extreme south of the country. The distance to Milan in northern Italy is shorter than to Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city.
While students from all over the world come to Malmö to study, the city is not only hospitable’n’homey to them. As a matter of fact, one of the greatest things about Malmö is its hospitality and international diversity.
International Diversity
Malmö is actually Number four on the world’s list of diversity!
After
- New York – 189 nations – but 8.5 millions inhabitants,
- London – 182 nations – but 8.8 millions inhabitants and
- Washington DC – 177 nations – but still 681,000 inhabitants,
little Malmö prides itself to be home to people from 169 of the world’s official 193 UN-member nations – do you see how amazing that is?
Wouldn’t that be a good idea for some North American cities, too?!
Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd Non-Violence
And the best part is, while other cities and communities try to reduce their share of foreigners, Malmö is actively working on becoming the diversity list’s Number one.
However, the organization Little Big Malmö is not only supporting and helping the ex-pats from around the world that are already in town. No, they are even advertising for representatives of the missing 24 nationalities to come to join their United Colors.
So if you happen to be from Andorra, Belize, Comoros, Grenada, Liechtenstein, Oman, or another of the listed countries, you should definitely consider becoming a MalmöTowner!
However, you can become a MalmöTowner even if you don’t move there since they claim that being a MalmöTowner is a state of mind.
Right on, MalmöTowners, right on!
History in a Nutshell
The foundation stone for Malmö’s St. Petri och Pauli Kyrka was laid in 1319. Also, the first town hall was built around the same time. The oldest city privileges date from 1353. Taking over from the town of Lund, Malmö increasingly became the most important center in Skåne. The oldest buildings in the city that still exist today date from this time,
Due to its geographic location, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Malmö was besieged alternately by Sweden and Denmark. In 1512, the Peace of Malmö between Denmark and the Hanseatic League as well as an armistice between Denmark and Gustav Wasa of Sweden were concluded.
During the Hanseatic League, the city was under German influence.
As a matter of fact, you can learn more about this powerful organization in my post on the German city of Lübeck which used to be the Queen of the Hanse.
Many half-timbered houses have been preserved in the old town of Malmö. Those around the Lilla Torg – which translates to small market – are particularly famous.
Development and Sustainability
In 2001, the ecological building exhibition Bo01 was held in the city’s arsenal of the Westhafen, a former industrial area.
Hence, this is where the new construction of the Västra Hamnen district began according sustainability criteria.
Then in 2005, with the Turning Torso, a new hallmark of the up-and-coming city was inaugurated – at 190 meters, the tallest building in Northern Europe.
Obviously, its most amazing feature is the facade, which is turned 90 degrees towards the top.
Also, with the Ankar Park, the Dania Park, and the Sund promenade, ambitious open spaces were created.
Art
Malmö Konsthall
With 2,000 square meters, the Konsthall is one of Europe’s largest exhibition halls, albeit showing only temporary exhibitions from classic modern to contemporary. Obviously, it presents national as well as international art.
The Konsthall was built according to the designs of Swedish architect Klas Anshelm. Since a renovation in 1994, the gallery expands now into the adjoining brick building, the Hantverkshuset.
The Konsthall’s old part to the left with the SMAK’s entrance under the trees.
I visited the Konsthall for the first time on the occasion of the yearly Gallery Night. That’s a wonderful event where all the museums and galleries are not only open till midnight. In addition, they try to add a little extra to their regular program. So if you happen to be in Malmö end of September, don’t miss out on this great event.

Moderna Museet
On of the gallery nights’ most important venues is the Moderna Museet.
The Moderna Museet Malmö is a museum for modern and contemporary art in Malmö, which is part of the Swedish State Moderna Museet. The Moderna Museet Malmö opened in December 2009. Like the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, it shows Swedish and international art.

Malmöhus Slott ⏐ Malmö Konstmuseum
The old castle Malmöhus is the only remnant of the former fortifications. As a Danish fort, it was of strategic importance in the 15th and 16th centuries. Ironically, after that, it became a Swedish fortress against Denmark.
Used as a penitentiary between 1828 and 1914, it is now the city museum with an exhibition on the city’s history from the early Stone Age to the present day. Also, there is a botanical exhibition with an aquarium and terrarium.
(Photo: Susanne Nilsson, https://www.flickr.com/people/infomastern/)
Changing art exhibitions are taking place at the venerable building, too. After all, this Renaissance building houses the Malmö Konstmuseum that owns a collection of about 40,000 works of art, however, most of them hidden in storage and archives.
The Malmöhus is surrounded by a park that is well worth seeing, in which, together with the castle mill, there is a Dutch windmill from 1851.
Parks
The Malmöhus Slott is surrounded by lush parks and gardens like the Slottsrädgården, the Kungsparken, and the Slottsparken – a wonderful walk on a sunny day.
Another park that’s very popular with the locals is the Folkets Park, the people’s park. It’s a tad bit like a very poor version of Copenhagen’s Tivoli, hence, it’s rather an amusement park than the wilderness and therefore maybe more for families with kids than hip singles with dogs.
Nightlife
Whereby, the hip singles – once they’ve left their dog at home – come back to the Folkets Park, too, to party at some really cool clubs.

On the Waterfront
Beach – didn’t I mention a walk on the beach earlier?! Yes, I did, and what a great walk that will be!
Malmö is located on Sweden’s West coast with many dreamy sand beaches nearby. But also the city beach, the Ridersborgsstranden, is much nicer than most city beaches around the world. It’s a sandy stretch of about 2,5 km / 1.5 miles along a broad strip of meadow and a concrete promenade so that no matter how and where you like to walk or cycle, it caters to everybody.
The facilities are great: There are little kiosks where you can grab a bite or enjoy a refreshing drink, there are water fountains with drinking water, stations where you can put air in your bike tubes and there are enough clean bathrooms.
The highlight of this beach is certainly the Ridersborgs Kallbadhus, the bathhouse housing a sauna – with separate sections for men and women as well as a mixed part. The best thing is that after a good sweat you can just jump right into the Ocean. A truly Scandinavian wellness experience not to be missed.
For a post-schwitz-treat, check out this post’s Café section.

Towels can be rented and basic toiletries bought on the spot.
Fika
Such a wonderful Swedish tradition. Fika could be described as a coffee break. But truly, it’s much more than that. It’s a state of mind since this coffee break is by no means compatible with coffee to go in a paper cup. It’s a nice cup of coffee and a piece of delicious pastry – and a pleasant chat.
There is a fantastic density of cafés in Malmö, many of them teeny tiny so that sometimes maybe only six customers can squeeze in. If you don’t fit in in one, just go three doors down, there will be another one.
One of my favorite cafés is the one at the Ridersborgs Kallbadhus since it’s so old fashioned – and since going to the sauna makes you thirsty and hungry. It’s a café and a restaurant, so they have pastries and hearty snacks, too.

Breakfast With Friends
For a good breakfast that fixes you up for the day, for a light lunch, or for your sweet tooth’s treat you should try out Bröd & Vänner – which translates to bread and friends. They are just a stone’s throw away from Folkets Park.

These friends are expecting you with some freshly baked bread and other delicacies daily from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. (weekends from 8 a. m. (Saturday) resp. 9 a. m. (Sunday) to 3 p. m.)
On top of my coffee house list is the Lilla Kaffeerosteriet, an institution in Malmö, so that probably everybody will be yawning now. But I love this place; love it for having really good and tasty products, love it for having many tables inside and out so I don’t have to wander around with my hot cup of coffee asking people whether chairs are taken.
Love it for looking cute and cozy from the outside and being raw and austere inside. And mainly love the staff for working at a popular, hip place and being super nice and friendly and not arrogant like the baristas in many of these places. Five stars for the Lilla Kaffeerosteriet.

Shops and Markets
Once you had a good cup of coffee at the Kaffeerosteriet, you’re just around the corner from all these cute alleys and old squares where you can check out world-famous Scandinavian design and maybe by a souvenir or two for those who didn’t have the chance to visit this charming place.
There is the small square, the Lilla Torg, where you can buy all sorts of handcrafted things at the stores or on the occasional market.
If you want quality at a reasonable price – mind you the pieces are all handmade by designers – I highly recommend you check out the Formargruppen, a store where jewelry, pottery, fabric, decoration, and much more are on sale.

Churches
There are a couple of interesting churches in Malmö like Saint Paul with its silver towers outside and crazy mockery painting inside.
(Photo: Jorchr, Paulikyrkan, Malmö, mars 2015, cropped 2:3, CC BY-SA 3.0)
But my favorite is S:t Petri, conveniently located behind the small square Lilla Torg and the big square Stortorget where also Malmö’s townhall ist located.
The protestant S:t Petri kyrka was build in the 14th century being modeled on the St. Marienkirche in Lübeck. It is Malmö’s oldest building.
While the major part is baroque, the frescos at the highly impressive Krämarekapellet, the chandlers chapel, are gothic and stem from the pre-reformation era.

Practical Information
How to get there and around
So you’re ready to go?
In my post on Basel, I got into raptures over Europe’s wonderful diversity based on the proximity of different countries with different languages and different currencies and so on and so forth.
Well, Malmö in Sweden is practically holding hands with Copenhagen in Denmark – actually, you only have to traverse the 8 kilometers long bridge over the Øresund to get from one city to the other in less than half an hour. So if you just want to spend a day in Malmö while vacationing in Denmark, be their guest, literally.
(Photo: Silvia Man / Malmö Turism)
Otherwise, there is an airport in Malmö which caters to only a few destinations. Therefore, flying in means most likely flying to Copenhagen and continue to Sweden by train.
Getting around in Malmö is easy peasy since it’s pretty small. You can walk or you can do as the MalmöTowners do and cycle. Malmö is not only people-friendly, it also prides itself to be Number 6 on the list of bike-friendly cities – right after Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Strasbourg, and Eindhoven. There are various companies where you can rent a bike. But also hotels – like e. g. the Hotel Garden* – have bikes to rent for their guests.
And if it’s too cold or too wet, there is of course also a good system of public transportation.
Where to Stay
I had booked myself in the Hotel Garden* right in the very city center at a really reasonable price.
But I must warn you: if I were like other people, I would now tell you about my room being quite small and having a couple of stains on the carpet.
But instead, I prefer to tell you about the apple trees blooming on the 5th floor flat roof under my window on the 7th floor – just beautiful. Or I rave about the sumptuous breakfast buffet with everything everybody can desire. And if it’s raining, they even have a small sauna for their guest.
I felt very comfortable there, and the location couldn’t be better.
However, if you’d like to check out some alternatives, you can do so on this map*:
Booking.comWhere to Eat
Needless to explain that the above-sketched diversity has a strong impact on the city’s cuisine which is famous in Sweden for its eclectic choices of food from all over the world – mixed with little Swedish meatballs (that we all know from IKEA) and the great variety of pickled seafood.
If you just need a quick bite at a reasonable price, you find lots of Vietnamese and Indian places and definitely more falafel diners than traffic lights.
My favorite is Toppgrillen1 right in the heart of the historic city center, not far from the Moderna Museet, a branch of the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm. I’ll introduce this gallery further below in the art-section of this post. Right now I rather supply you with the Toppgrillen’s address so you can enjoy their freshly fried falafel and other delicacies:
Topgrillen1

Open daily from 10.30 a. m. to 8 p. m. (weekends from 11 a. m. to 7 p. m.)
Soulfood
I’d also like to introduce two alternatives where to eat once you get tired of all the falafel-choices.
Especially in Autumn and Winter, you’ll be happy to find a place where you get a hot’n’hearty soup or a rich stew: The Spoonery at the trendy neighborhood S:t Knut will fix you up if you drop in between 11.30 a. m. and 9 p. m.
Spoonery S:t Knuts
Sankt Knuts väg 7
211 57 Malmö
Phone: + 46 – 40 – 655 69 31
Open daily from 11.30 a. m. to 9 p. m.
In case you’re craving a hot soup after a long walk on the beach, their other Malmö branch might be more convenient:
Spoonery Slottstaden
Östra Stallmästaregatan
2 217 49 Malmö
Phone: + 46 – 40 – 26 56 00
Open daily from 11.30 a. m. to 9 p. m.
If you absolutely wanna go for Swedish food, the Konsthall’s restaurant SMAK is worth the visit. They offer three different dishes every day, you can check them out on their website.
SMAK
S:t Johannesgatan 7
211 46 Malmö
Phone: + 46 – 40 – 50 50 35
Open daily from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. (Wednesday to 9 p. m.)
Once you’re done eating: The Konsthall – the art gallery – itself as well as its gift- and book shop is worth the visit, too, so now we arrive at this post’s art section; if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that this is of great importance to me.
What to See
I’m an avid solo-travelling woman. Since solo-travel doesn’t equal solitude, I love to join organized tours here and there. They allow me to meet fellow travellers – for just a short moment or a lifelong friendship.
Therefore, here are some great ideas of what to do during your stay in Malmö. Especially if you have only a short time to stay, they’ll enable you to make the best of it*:
How to Pay
Sweden has been part of the European Union since 1995 and joined the Schengen area in 2001.
(Photo: Jonn Leffmann, Pengar – 2019, cropped 2:3, CC BY 3.0)
Nevertheless, it is one of the European countries that’s not using €uros but Swedish Krona. The exchange rate is 1 US$ = 10.80 SEK respectively 1 EUR = 11.70 SKE as of June 2023. However, you can check the conversion on this page.
As a matter of fact, cash as king abdicated in Sweden some time ago. There are actually places where you cannot pay cash at all. They accept international credit cards or a mobile payment system called Swish which albeit is only accessible with a Swedish bank account.
What to Say
Scandinavians are known for not being very affected by the building of the Tower of babel – they speak like every language on earth.
It still might be nice to be able to greet and thank in Swedish, and on babbel you can reach this goal already with the first, free lesson.
What to Read
Besides the heartwarming children’s books by world-famous Swedish heroine Astrid Lindgren, there was literature Nobel prize winner Selma Lagerlöf and her little Nils Holgersson who flew away with the geese. Then there is controversy because of his…let’s call it conservative views…Knut Hamsun. And of course, there are the books by Henning Mankell who sadly passed away in 2015 but left us his oeuvre.
Connection and Communication
Since June 2017, If you have a European mobile phone contract, no roaming charges apply within the EU. This applies to all 27 countries of the European Union as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
The EU roaming regulation applies to all contracts.
In case European roaming is not available, you can connect to the internet without any issue at basically every museum, eatery or café, and, of course, hotel.
If you insist on being online 24/7, you can, of course, get a SIM card.
The standard voltage in Sweden is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. In Sweden, they use plug types C and F.
Whereby, since nowadays, all these chargers have integrated adapters, in general, the voltage and frequency don’t really matter.
By the way, you’ll find comprehensive travel info in my post World’s Most Complete Travel Information – an indispensable globetrotter-classic.

Thanks for sharing superb informations. Your site is so cool. I am impressed by the details that you’ve put on this blog. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this web page.
Yes, Malmö is a bit under the radar….glad you’ve found the info you needed.
While the town definitely looks nice, it is so interesting that they are actively pursuing to become world’s #1 place representing global diversity. I was confused to read about the title but the more you explained, the more fascinating it became! 🙂
Oh wow, when did you visit Malmö?
I have only been there once, when I was a kid at such a young age dont really remember the trip. I live in Stockholm, so we have talked about taking a traintrip from stockholm, stopping in malmö for a few days and then head to denmark 🙂
A great guide to Malmö, this city is worth visiting. You have provided a lot of practical information that will help planning a trip—very inspiring post.
Aww that place is really charming. Cool sculptures too!
This looks like a great place to visit. Some really nice sights to see.
For such a relatively small place it’s truly amazing! 🙂
I’ve never heard of Malmo before, but it certainly looks like an amazing city! I’d love to drive across that 8 km long bridge from Copenhagen, that would be such a scenic drive.
Yes, you are practically parting the sea 😉
I was lucky enough to do a few business trips to Sweden, but didn’t get a chance to visit Malmö. It looks like a fabulous place, and your summary is amazing. It’s gotta be THE guide for this city. You’re right about that gun sculpture .. more US cities should be proudly touting this gun instead of the ones hidden under their jacket!
You mean this sculpture would be a nice decoration at the Missouri couple’s front yard; those folks who pointed guns at BLM-protesters 😉 😀
I always love visiting and reading about different or unique places. Malmo is such a unique place and with so much cultural diversity in such small space. Its wonderful to read about it.
wow, loving the artwork and the churches are really unique looking. I have an irrational fear of going back to Scandinavia because of the prices, but seems like it would be worth it!
Unfortunately, your fear is not irrational but very real! However, Malmö is cheaper than for instance Stockholm. I was actually surprised how reasonable my hotel was – and it’s in the very center of town!
I haven’t been to Malmo yet, but I would like to visit it someday. Great tips on what to see and how to prepare for a trip. I would love to visit Malmö Konsthall and Moderna Museet. I like your food recommendation.
This all sounds really cool and looks like some great sights. I love how diverse it is.
I love Malmö, I’ve only passed through on my way north with a less than a day there but it is just such a lovely place. Chilled out but exciting (somehow).
You’ve totally got that right – there’s a lot going on ?
When we visited Copenhagen, we saw the Malmo bridge and really wanted to drive across the bridge and visit the city. That time, we never knew that there were lot of interesting things to do in the city either, hence we skipped it! Ever since then, I really wished to visit Malmo. Never knew that its internationally 4th in diversity, all the more reason to visit this vibrant city! Can’t wait to explore it!
Yes, if you can spare a couple of hours when in Copenhagen, it’s definitely worth the visit.
I love modern art galleries, a beautiful walk and delicious food, so it looks like Malmo it is! I love the diversity there. It must be a very friendly place to live.
The parks are very nice – and so is the beach. You can walk or cycle for hours!
Lots of great information in this post and the photographs capture the beauty of the city so well. We’ve yet to visit Sweden and your post really made me want to plan a trip to Malmo soon (hopefully). Love the contrast of architecture you get in this diverse city – timbered homes in the old town and modern construction like the Turning Torso. I’d love to rent the bike as you’ve mentioned and explore the city as the locals do – would be such a fun way to discover more of the city.
Somehow Malmö’s spirit is reflected in that architecture mix 🙂
I always wanted to visit Malmö! Where are you from, Renata?
I was born in the Czech Republic but my parents migrated to Germany when I was still a child – I wrote about it in this post https://byemyself.com/how-i-became-a-citizen-of-the-world/ 🙂
Reading this post made me realise how little I know about Malmo. Love that symbol of non violence – alas, I can’t imagine that in the Usa. Also, I love countries that welcome different cultures because means great food. Looks like a place I would enjoy visiting.
WOW! What an amazing mix of old and new. Love the diversity and sustainability as well!
Malmo looks lovely. I was sold on your first few paragraphs about how welcoming they are to diversity. Most cities & countries in the world could learn a lot from that. Then I loved the beach, architecture, sauna, feel the need for shopping & hungry for all your food recommendations! I have never been to Copenhagen but the idea of driving over that bridge to Malmo when I do is very appealing.
Once you’re in Copenhagen, it’s certainly worth the short ride across the bridge 🙂
I never really knew about Malmo. Nor did I know it was Sweden’s third largest city. Certainly means we will need to visit the next time we head to that part of the world. I love the mix of old architecture and new art that you have shown. Great to know that there are changing exhibitions in the Malmohus Slott. I am sure we would find lots to keep us interesting on a visit to Malmo.
Until I visited, I didn’t know it was the third-largest city, either. 😀
I live in the US Southwest, where we would really need that gun statue. I’d love to see it at least in one place here. But everything about Malmö sounds great. Especially its cultural diversity, it would be great to experience that. As a linguist I would appreciate people speaking so many languages in one place. You definitely put the town on the top of my list of places to visit, once we feel we can fly back to Europe. Actually it sounds like everything I wish for in a place to live in, not only visit. Thank you for such a great guide! Bookmarking it for reference.
Aaaah – what a wonderful comment on the statue <3
the twisted barrel of a gun should be everywhere in the world….its a great symbol of peace and the diverse culture is great symbol of prosperity and equality…
Agreed – isn’t it actually the most universal symbol ever?! 🙂
Thank you for bringing us to Malmo. It is an interesting place and I am much interested to visit their museums!
Looks like a lovely place to visit. I haven’t been to Malmo but I do regret my decision not to go when I had a chance
Such a diverse city. Actually, it should be #1 if you measure per capita!
Absolutely! 😀
Malmo seems nothing short of a revelation. What a lovely city that has people from 169 countries, truly a melting pot.
Isn’t that amazing?! 😀
I have never heard of Malmo, but I would definitely visit there. It looks so inviting and seems like an amazing trip to take!
Really enjoyed my read & learn much more about Malmo, thanks for sharing this detailed guide about Malmo. cheers, siennylovesdrawing
I did not know that Malmo was such a culturally diverse place which I truly like. I would definitely enjoy experiencing it
Neither did I before I visited for the first time 😉
I have never been to Malmo but it seems that you can do so many different enjoyable activities there. I hope, next year I could make some travelling plans.
I have never heard of Malmo. This seems like a cool city to explore. My Scandinavian trip is already in making. Hopefully soon.
I need to explore much more of Scandinavia, too.
I’m very familiar with Malmo, through football, though – Malmo FC. It’s good to learn about how fascinating it actually is.
Nice post!
Hahaha – didn’t know about this strong suit 😀
I learned about Malmo by the Turning Torso and thanks for sharing with us there are so much more to see and do there! I would love to have a day trip there the next time I am in Copenhagen. – Knycx Journeying
It’s such an easy trip from Copenhagen – you shouldn’t miss out on that. 🙂
I wasn’t aware that Malmo was such a culturally diverse place. I have yet to venture there myself.
Wow, highly diverse. In fact it is the most diverse per capita. And just 20 minutes from Copenhagen!
Ahaha! Whatever Finns say, Sweden outdo them pretty much in everything. Including small cities like Mälmo. Small ones in Finland are just boring. But they try to compensate it by wining in hockey every year.
As a SPA-addict, I believe that Finns have the better sauna-options, too, so….
Glad to hear this. There seem to be so many people who've never heard of it which is surprising since there is a huge university there with sooo many foreign students. But obviously they don't spread the word; so I did. Happy travels!
I love when I stumble across a clog on a city I have never really heard much about before. I feel that I have learnt something new. Your photos were a great way to experience Malmo.
