Malmö – a city full of flavours

With more pubs and restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Sweden, it’s the perfect place to enjoy contemporary Scandinavia. With half the population being younger than 30, Malmö is a vibrant city with cafés and bars everywhere. 

Fabulous for Foodies

Choose between a delicious falafel for just a few euros, or a complete tasting menu at a Michelin restaurant. Malmö is a great place for foodies, with one restaurant that has two Michelin stars, and several more quite close. Squeeze them in during a week but don’t forget to book in advance:

Restaurang Vollmers – Awarded with two Michelin Stars - Restaurang Vollmers has two Michelin stars and offers a culinary journey through local produce and unexpected combinations and techniques that bring out the very best of Skåne’s culinary heritage. 

Bloom in the Park – Seductive “no menu” food - Bloom In The Park is a “No Menu” restaurant, meaning that you can’t choose what to eat. Just close your eyes and let yourself be delighted and seduced.

Restaurant Sture – Malmö’s French dining destination - This ambitious restaurant markets itself as a French dining destination with fine wines and fine dining in a classic environment. 

Malmö Saluhall is the obvious destination for anyone who loves quality produce and delicious food. Here you'll find sausages hand made in a barn without electricity, plaice that is only caught when it's high tide around the small island of Ven, knives so sharp they can slice bone marrow, hand-sorted coffee beans, falafel fried in olive oil, chilled tea, Korean street food, locally grown garlic and fresh goat yoghurt.

Get on your bike

Malmö is a city for cyclists. There are cycle paths from town to everywhere. Tramp around the parks, pedal to the beach, or take a tour to the outskirts of town and further afield. You can even stay in the Oh Boy hotel, specially built for cyclists, where every room and apartment has its own cycle. 

Art and events

Live green – by the blue sea - Malmö’s own beach area is alive with joggers, skaters, swimmers and events all summer. The architecture and sustainable living concepts of the Western Harbour attract visitors from all over the world. 

The corkscrew-shaped 190-metre-high Turning Torso skyscraper, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is a fascinating landmark, while the nearby Sundspromenaden throngs with local people during summer. Swim in the sea at nearby Ribersborg beach, or in the deep-water swimming area in the harbour. All while admiring the elliptic architecture of the Öresund bridge that connects Skåne with Denmark, the feature of the world-famous detective series of the same name.
