Malmö’s Summer Bliss

Hop on the train in Copenhagen and in under an hour you’re in Malmö, Sweden 🇸🇪. The pace is slower than the big cities—perfect for aimless strolls, day-dreaming, and soaking up that Nordic-summer ease. 🚆 Transport Tips Take the Öresundståg (Øresund train) from Copenhagen Central (København H) to Malmö—about 40 min. Buy tickets on the DSB app or at station machines, roughly 120 DKK. 1 🌟 Malmö City Library A design-lover’s dream: floor-to-ceiling glass walls earn it the nickname “Castle of Knowledge.” Sunlight streams in—ideal for reading or simply zoning out. The lawn outside buzzes with picnickers and sun-worshippers. 2 🌟 Kungsparken (King’s Park) Right next to the library, Malmö’s oldest park. Lakes, bridges, and endless green invite an impromptu nap. Watch swans and ducks glide by—pure therapy. 3 🌟 Gustus Shop & Gallery A tiny treasure trove of Nordic handcrafts, ceramics, and art. The owner greets you like an old friend and tells the story behind each piece—perfect for unique gifts 🎁. 4 🌟 St. Peter’s Church Malmö’s oldest church—red-brick Gothic, peaceful and steeped in history. Pop in to admire the stained glass and intricate wood carvings. 5 🌟 Ribersborgsstranden City-center beach you can reach on foot or by bike. Shallow water, wide lawns, and a dog-only playground—Nordic pups strutting their long, shaggy coats with effortless swagger ✨. Spoonery – tucked-away Nordic comfort food. I had a slow-cooked beef stew (tender, cumin-like depth) and soft meatballs in rich gravy. Portions are huge—two dishes for two girls were impossible to finish. The vibe is relaxed: eat slowly, chat longer. 🫶 #NordicTravel #SwedenTravel #Malmö #MalmöTravel
