📍 Nordic Business Trip Diary | Sweet Summer Moments in Malmö

It takes less than 1 hour by train from Copenhagen to reach Malmö 🇸🇪. Unlike the bustle of big cities, the pace here is slow and cozy—perfect for casual walks, daydreaming, and savoring the comfort of a Nordic summer. 🚆 Transportation Tips Take the Öresundståg (Öresund Train) from Copenhagen Central Station (København H) to Malmö, which takes about 40 minutes. Buy tickets via the DSB app or at station self-service machines. The fare is approximately 120 Danish Kroner (DKK). Group discounts are available on the app for multiple travelers—great for saving money! 📍 Spots for a Leisurely Stroll All these spots are within walking distance—ideal for a relaxed one-day city walk! Malmö City Library A highly designed library—you have to admire Nordic aesthetics! Its full-wall glass facade is nicknamed the “Castle of Knowledge.” When sunlight filters in, it’s incredibly quiet and cozy—perfect for reading or sitting back to daydream. The lawn outside is also fantastic: many people sunbathe and chat there, creating a super chill vibe. 📚 Kungsparken (King’s Park) Right next to the library, it’s Malmö’s oldest park. Lush with greenery, it has lakes and bridges—when the summer wind blows, you’ll just want to lie down for a nap 😴. You can also spot swans and ducks here—total comfort for the soul! 🦢 Gustus Shop & Gallery A niche, charming lifestyle boutique + art gallery. It sells Nordic designers’ handcrafts, tableware, paintings, and more—all with great texture. The owner is super friendly and will share the stories behind each piece. It’s perfect for picking up unique small gifts 🎁. St. Peter’s Church (Sankt Petri Kyrka) Malmö’s oldest church, featuring red-brick Gothic architecture. Its interior is quiet and steeped in history, with beautiful stained glass windows and wood carvings. Pop in for a slow wander if you pass by. ⛪ Ribersborgsstranden A beach accessible from the city center—easy to reach by bike or on foot! It has vast lawns + shallow seawater. In summer, many people sunbathe, walk dogs, or swim here 🌊. There’s even a dedicated dog playground—so heartwarming! Btw, unlike the uniformly groomed dogs you might see on South Korean streets, Nordic dogs have so much personality! Many have long fluffy fur and a “natural, unkempt ease”—they strut like they own the place ✨. 🍲 What We Ate? Spoonery We visited this popular spot for Nordic comfort food. It’s low-key in location but amazing in taste! I ordered beef stew: the meat was tender, rich in sauce, and tasted a bit like cumin beef from back home. The meatballs were also soft and delicious, with thick, creamy sauce. The prices are reasonable and portions are generous—two dishes were way too much for two girls 😂. The overall vibe is relaxed and cozy—great for slow eating and chatting. I’ll definitely come back on my business trip next year 🫶! #NordicTravel #SwedenTravel #Malmö #SlowTravelTheWorld #DenmarkTravel #NordicTourism #EuropeTravel
