STAY NEAR MALMÖ CENTRAL
Staying overnight? Malmö Central is a good base. Trains from Copenhagen Airport take you straight across the Øresund Bridge and stop right at the station. Airport buses from Malmö Airport also stop here, making it easy to get into the city. From the platform, it’s just a short walk to several hotels, restaurants, museums, shopping and parks.
You could for example check into First Hotel Jörgen Kock or the classic Elite Hotel Savoy.

BRUNCH
Ease into the day with brunch. On Saturdays, Boulebar Drottningtorget serves a French-style spread – and you can play a round of pétanque while you’re at it. At MJ’s, brunch leans more towards sharing dishes, a main and something sweet to finish. Sundays mean brunch at Clarion Hotel Malmö Live, with everything from charcuterie and cheeses to desserts.

SHOPPING
Malmö makes it easy to mix classic shopping with second-hand finds. Around Triangeln, Mobilia and Emporia you’ll find both big brands and smaller vintage spots. And Mitt Möllan is always worth a wander if you’re after something a bit different.

FIKA
You’re in Sweden – fika is part of the plan. Malmö has plenty of cafés for a relaxed break. Kafé Hummusson near Triangeln is a go-to for many, especially if you’re after vegan options. Slottsträdgårdens Café sits tucked into greenery behind Malmö Museum, and Malmö Saluhall is home to, among others, St Jakobs Stenugnsbageri.

EXPLORE MALMÖ
One of the best ways to get around is by bike. Book a self-guided ride with food stops via Travelshop Bikes & Experiences and see the city at your own pace. For something completely different, head to Disgusting Food Museum – where around 80 unusual dishes from across the world are on display (and sometimes on the tasting menu…). You’ll find more activities with Teamtastic Malmö and the escape rooms at Sherlocked Malmö.

ART & DESIGN
Set in a former grain warehouse, Form/Design Center is a go-to for architecture, design and crafts. Moderna Museet Malmö brings in international contemporary art in a setting that’s anything but traditional.
See current exhibitions here and here.
FOOD & NIGHTLIFE
As soon as the sun’s out, Malmö’s outdoor terraces fill up. Around Lilla Torg you’ll find a dense mix of restaurants and bars, while Marie Antoinette on Drottningtorget has a more easygoing vibe. And if you feel like stretching the evening, there’s no shortage of pubs, clubs and live venues.

Sea just around the corner, parks everywhere and plenty of places to eat, drink and explore – Malmö makes for a very easy Easter break.
