First of all, how has it been a month already since I last posted? Oops! That being said, let me now entertain you with a post about Malmö ;) While I was in Copenhagen, I also decided to go to Malmö for a day. Why not go to two countries in one trip? That sounded pretty cool to me! Malmö and Copenhagen are connected by a long bridge, so it’s only a 30-minute train ride. That seems very doable, so even though I didn’t even had enough time for Copenhagen, I still decided to go to Malmö. I have to say I quite liked it, it’s small but that’s perfect for just one day. There’s a cute old town, there are plenty of shops with beautiful Scandinavian design, plenty of museums, wonderful parks (one with deer heads coming out of the ground? Ehrr…), the cutest colourful houses, a bit of street art… What’s not to like? To be honest I totally forgot most of the things I did, but the city is perfect for just wandering around, it’s small enough!
– A return ticket from Copenhagen is about 24 euro, the journey itself takes about approximately 30 minutes. You can easily buy a ticket at a vending machine.
– The park with the weird deer heads is called Kungsparken, which is also nearby the colourful houses and the Malmöhus (castle) and the Malmö Museer. I wanted to go the Konsthall but stupidly enough didn’t know I was so nearby it when I was in that park, so I never saw it. So although I haven’t been there, I assume it’s worth trying to see it for yourself!
– Another park is the Folketspark (look at the cute poster!), where you can walk around in the beautiful park, eat some Ben & Jerry ice cream or have a look at the Moriska Paviljongen.
– Instead of the Konsthall, I went to the Moderna Museet Malmö. A museum with modern art, which was okay. Pretty small though, with a few exhibitions. I enjoyed it, but I would recommend to check out the exhibitions beforehand to see if it’s what you like. They have cool lockers though!
– I also went to the Art Academy, where a huuuuge graduation exposition was going on. If you’re on a budget, definitely do this. It’s free of charge, the building is also beautiful and the works are interesting! When I was there it was only fine arts though, no illustration or photography or anything like that.
– Shopping is quite expensive in Sweden, but stores like Lagerhaus and Tiger are very cheap and fun! They’re close to each other in Sodergatan, there’s also Granit in the same street.
This is also the first time I used Stay.com and I have to say that it’s the best travel app I’ve used in a long long time!! You can visit my profile here for a few more tips for Malmö, Copenhagen and Budapest!
