Malmo 2019 - Sweden

the stopover

I took the early train from Stockholm (6am) to Copenhagen and decided to take a pit stop in Malmo. It sits right across the water from Denmark and Copenhagen city. I spent most of a day there and you can easily see the highlights within that time. Although I had a little more trouble that I thought I would storing my bag for the day as I walked around town. The train center has plenty of luggage storage, there just a little hidden.

That's what I thought of Malmo. It seems to have plenty to offer, you just need to find the hidden gems. The easiest to see from almost anywhere in the city is the twisting torso tower (picture below). I didn't get to tour it, but saw it from afar and walked right by it. Also easy to find on the map is the beach, piers, and park called Ribersborgsstranden, east of the city center.

Other touristy areas that I checked out were the Malmo castle (kinda bland) and the nearby Slottsträdgården and Kings garden (a little more interesting with the windmill pictured below). They have a technology museum to counter the old street cars used for public transit, and St Peter's church to mark the city center. There are 2 town squares providing shopping, food, people watching, and space for festivals. They're also conveniently right next to each other and known as Stortorget and Lilla Torg.

Recommend:

• walk around Ribersborgsstranden park and piers
• Stortorget and Lilla Torg
• shopping on Södergatan street
