Phenomenal experience. Highly educational in learning about the various cultures, along with learning about the psychological aspects of what we deem disgusting. The owner/founder of this museum gave us a personal experience and allowed us to taste various things. Highly recommend this to everyone, by far one of the most unique experiences I've ever had in a museum. Worth it!

Travelled over to Malmo from Copenhagen for a long weekend in December, went by train, great views and wonderful experience, have always wanted to do this journey, really comfortable way to travel between countries & very fast and efficient and on time. Journey back was a disappointment as sky was black, and middle of a storm but fun all the same.

Charming area that’s paved with natural stones with a nice variety of restaurants and shops. A couple of the restaurants are busy year round (especially in summer) as they have ample outdoor seating.. Nicely decorated with plenty of lights during the holiday season. (Don’t miss the oversized lamp) About 10 minutes walk from Malmo C & easy to find & close to the Stortorget. Great for a drink or meal in the square.
4. St. Petri (St. Peter's Church)

The Church looks very nice from the outside. Inside, it is quite plain, despite its 700 year history, although the side altar at the back has some faded murals, which are more often seen in Italian churches. The main altar is very dramatic and it is possible to walk all the way behind it. Around the church in various paces is plenty of evidence of regular worship and an active role in its local and wider community.

We spent our last morning in Malmo walking along the canals and over the foot bridges in this beautiful park. The park cafe by the windmill is delightful. I had a delicious home made pannecotta with a Lillia Rosteriet coffee and my partner enjoyed a freshly made cinnamon bun with coffee. We sat out at a picnic table amid colourful flowers. A must see on a sunny day.
6. Technology & Maritime Museum

Closed until October 26 2019. Crawl into a real submarine and see exhibitions with focus on technology and seafaring. If you like to experiment, the Ideas Planet is an obvious favourite, and in the Boat Playroom all children are invited to play. The Science and Maritime House is part of the Malmo Museer.

Interesting place with lots of fun features. Although I would have liked to know that the submarine was closed before I entered.

A modern library with lots of natural light and surrounded by lots of nature outside the building. It’s a haven for the book lovers.
8. HSB Turning Torso

Lets be honest there's not much to do in Malmo but if you do end up there then its worth visiting The Turning Torso Skyscraper. The design is that it shape shifts by 90 degrees from top to bottom and its worth getting up close to see the structure from all the different angles. Unfortunately this is a private owned building so I was unable to access it. Designed as the name suggest on a turning torso.

Malmöhus Castle is Scandinavia´s oldest surviving Renaissance castle. Here Denmark´s coins were minted in the Middle Ages and here Crown Prince Frederick held wild parties in the 16th century. Prisoners were beheaded in the courtyard in the 19th century. Today Malmöhus forms part of Malmö Museer. The castle is part of Sweden´s cultural heritage and is managed by the National Property Board.

This is a really nice museum to experience the culture of Malmö, see old cannons and knights armor in the canon wing, visit the aquarium, animals, and if you go deeper into the caslte you will reach some beautiful castle style interior that will take you back in time. On top of that they usually have some new exhibition to experience. The christmas market is really nice as well and they even have free admission during this time. Tip: If you want to visit the Technological Museum across the street make sure you inform the cashier when you buy the ticket and you will get a combo ticket with a small discount.
