🇸🇪 Malmö, I Admit I Was Too Harsh on You Before✨

✨When I first came last year, I didn’t have a great impression of Malmö because of some news. I didn’t visit often—most of the time, I’d head straight from Lund to Copenhagen instead.💬 A while back, I had to move to Malmö reluctantly because there were no apartments left in Lund. But after living here for a bit, I’ve totally changed my mind! Diving into daily life, I realized it’s actually a lovely place—with a warmth and vibrancy that’s rare in Nordic cities.☀️ At first glance, Malmö mixes old and new buildings, with some construction sites in between. It feels like a blend of past and present—beautiful in parts, “imperfect” in others—but that’s exactly what takes away the “polished distance” of some cities. It feels like a place where real life happens.✨ ✨The cost of living is a nice surprise too: many supermarket items are a bit cheaper than in Lund, and there are ☀️quite a few discount promotions. ✨When it comes to food and drinks, there are hidden gems everywhere: Spoonery’s meatballs, LD’s bubble tea, Open Rice’s grilled meat, Ngon’s Vietnamese food, plus a few Asian supermarkets. These alone make me grateful for life here! The city is super walkable. Wander through secondhand shops, vintage stores, design furniture shops, flower boutiques, and galleries—especially around Gamla Staden (Old Town) and Södergatan. By the end of your walk, you’ll probably end up with a pretty mug, table mat, or decor piece to take home. 💬Getting close to nature is easy too. Parks like Pildammsparken each have their own charm, with tall, sturdy trees that feel full of life. The sea is also within reach—at sunset, you can walk along the Promenade all the way down to the beach. ✨All in all, Malmö is really great. Of course, it would be even better if some streets and corners got a little more cleaning and tidying up! 😂 #NordicLife #Sweden #Malmö #CityWander #SorryIDidntGiveYouAChanceBefore #Citywalk #NordicTravel #Lund #BeautifulMoments
