What to do & see
in Malmö
Saluhall Markthalle
If there's one thing you have to do in Malmö, it's visit the Saluhall market hall! Because where freight trains were once loaded, you will now find the foodie paradise par excellence in listed warehouses! You can get everything here: pastries, coffee, pizza, fruit & vegetables, oils, specialty cheeses, burgers, tea and much more...
In 2014, the market hall still looked like a ruin! But after being carefully restored and renovated, it is now a gem in the heart of Malmö!
Just check the opening hours here before your visit!
Davidshall
The Davidshall district around Davidshallstorg is really nice! There are several boutiques, vintage stores and cafés. The houses are all very colorful and partly overgrown, giving the neighborhood a special charm. We had a great time shopping in Davidshall. But it's also worth coming here just to stroll around. The Davidhallsbron canal is also particularly popular. This is where the people of Malmö like to spend their summer evenings.
Gamla Staden with Lilla Torg
Gamla Staden is the old town of Malmö and is located in its center. In fact, the history of the district dates back to the Middle Ages! Today, you will mainly find restaurants and bars here.
The area around Lilla torg, an old market square paved with natural stone, is particularly popular for going out. Markets are still held here regularly today!
The Stortorget market square with the town hall is also worth a visit. There is also a small passage (Lejonet Passage) with cute cafés!
Malmöhus Castle
Malmöhus Castle is the oldest surviving Renaissance-style castle complex in the Nordic countries. Malmöhus is located in the center of Malmö and is now home to the art museum and the municipal museum.
Slottsparken & Kungsparken
Malmöhus Castle is surrounded by the two parks Slottsparken & Kungsparken. Both parks are beautifully laid out, so it's worth taking a stroll through them and lingering here and there. A highlight is the castle mill, an old windmill, which is located in Slottsparken.
Bucht Västra Hamnen with the Turning Torso
Västra Hamnen is a modern district in Malmö that was built on a former port and industrial site. Västra Hamnen is somewhat reminiscent of the Docklands in London. The landmark of the new district is the 190m high Turning Torso, a twisted skyscraper.
Old lighthouse
If you walk through Malmö's harbor district, you will definitely pass the old lighthouse. The lighthouse was once intended to show sailors the way. Today it is no longer in operation and can be visited.
Moderna Museet Malmö
A popular museum in Malmö is the Moderna Museet, a museum for modern and contemporary art. It was opened in 2009 and exhibits Swedish, Nordic and international art. You can find all information about the museum here.
Folkets Park
Folkets Park is very popular among Malmö residents. Because there is simply everything here! Playgrounds, restaurants, a climbing garden, a mini-golf course and much more... There are also regular open-air events in the park. You can find out about the calendar of events on the park's official website!
I have put together a list of all the places on Google Maps.
