Things to do in Malmö
Things to do in Malmö include visiting its city centre parks and strolling its beautiful cobbled street areas. Malmö sight-seeing is easy to do by foot, by bike or even in a kayak.
Malmöfestivalen
Billed as Scandinavia’s biggest festival, Malmöfestivalen covers all styles and types of music, cultural events and ‘happenings’, art and design, kids events, sport & lifestyle, food & drink and much, much more. Join the party in Malmö in the last week of August.
Western Harbour Malmö
Western Harbour is on the shoreline of the Öresund Sound and sits on what used to be the Kockums shipyard. The city took on this formerly contaminated, run-down area and working with internationally renowned property developers and architects, has turned it into a paragon of sustainable living and working. And an exciting place to visit
Malmö beaches
The 2.5 kilometre long Ribersborg beach is where the young, the old, the bold and the beautiful of Malmö and visitors from around the world enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or just generally lazing around in the summer months. It is a 40 minute walk from the city centre.
Malmö art, sciences and history
If you want to do the Malmö Art Museum, the City Museum, the Museum of Natural History and the Science and Maritime House Museum in one day, you’re in luck. They all reside in the imposing Malmöhus Castle building. Other museums in Malmö that you should tick off your checklist include Moderna Museet Malmö, housed in a disused power station and exhibiting prominent contemporary international works of art. Malmö Konsthall meanwhile, is renowned for the function and aesthetics, as well as the use of space and light in its gallery.
Shopping Malmö
Malmö makes for eclectic shopping. It’s got a 16th century shopping market square, a beloved flea market, a catalogue of shopping centres and new up-and-coming shopping areas.
