Start your trip by visiting the Malmöhus Castle, which is known as the oldest remaining Renaissance castle in Scandinavia. It has exciting interactive exhibits for people of all ages and includes a museum, an aquarium, and a mini-zoo. You can take a guided tour or explore the castle independently.
Pildammsparken is a beautiful and peaceful park that offers various activities for children, such as a playground, duck pond and a petting zoo. Adults can also rent rowboats or enjoy a picnic while watching the swans and ducks. Those interested in botany will also appreciate the range of flowerbeds and trees in the park.
End your trip by visiting the impressive Malmö City Library, which offers a vast collection of books in multiple languages. The unique architecture of the building itself is worth admiring. Kids can enjoy a storytelling hour or participate in creative workshops. The library also has a cafe inside where parents can enjoy a cup of coffee while kids play board games.
If you have more time, a visit to Ribersborgsstranden Beach is a great option. It takes around 15 minutes by car or bus from Malmö Central Station. Foodies can also enjoy traditional Swedish pastries such as kanelbullar or semla at Patisserie David near Malmöhus Castle. If you have less time, you can skip Pildammsparken and explore the Västra Hamnen neighborhood, which offers many shops and restaurants.
