Its position also makes Malmö especially accessible. The city is well connected to continental Europe by train, bus and ferry, and the nearby Copenhagen Airport in Denmark is just 30 minutes away via the Öresund Bridge.
With its creative food scene, cultural hotspots, and proximity to the region’s stunning nature, Malmö is ideal for travellers looking to spend five to seven days exploring both city life and its surroundings. This guide brings together some of the best experiences in and around Malmö – from urban parks and historic sites to vineyard lunches and windswept beaches.
