What you’ll do

While it's truly hard to capture the full essence of Malmö in just one day, this one-day guide is designed to help you explore the highlights of the city. Featuring everything from historic streets to trendy neighbourhoods, where to eat Swedish meatballs, and where to get a taste of the new Nordic dining cuisine, you'll get a glimpse into all the reasons why this city is so special.

Day Total

17.1 km (10.6 mi)

57 min

Starting early, you'll spend a morning exploring the historic city streets before they get too busy. Snap some photos, and dream about what life looked like many years ago. From there, you'll head up to a popular shopping street where you can browse for Scandinavian goods. Next stop is lunch and you're headed to a trendy local neighbourhood for meatballs and fika. After exploring this area of the city, it's back to the city centre for a glass of wine at my favourite wine bar, followed by a taste of new Nordic cuisine.
