Malmö. It starts here. Malmö is more than a city. Malmö is encounters,
food, and laughter. Malmö brims with people creating experiences for everyone
to enjoy – theatre, art and music. Malmö is the place where you’ll meet
a promising young designer, a chef whose restaurant is boasting its first
Michelin star, a director pushing boundaries, a band recording its first album.
Ideas and momentum flow in Malmö. You feel it in our art, our music,
our food. You feel it in our diversity and people.
It is said that our city has more restaurants per citizen than anywhere else
in Sweden. Perhaps that’s because half the population is younger than
30 years old. Young restaurant and bistro owners around Möllevångstorget
and Davidshallstorg squares experiment with influences from France, Italy,
Japan, Lebanon, Iran and many other nations. Cosy cafés and bars are dotted all
over. When the Michelin Guide visited Malmö for the first time 2015, it awarded
three restaurants a Michelin star. At the other end, Malmö has excellent fast
food to suit every budget and is also known as Sweden’s falafel capital.
Expect the unexpected from Malmö’s cultural life. The new concert hall at
Malmö Live hosts everything from children’s musicals to world names in rock,
classical music and jazz. The summertime Sommarscen Malmö outdoor festival
surprises and entertains. The Malmö Festival is a food and music extravaganza.
Malmö Opera presents ballet and classical opera with unique scenography and
artistic expression.
Around the city you will find more than 300 works of art on public display
and numerous examples of architectural innovation. Visit private galleries
or enjoy contemporary art at Malmö Konsthall, Malmö Art Museum,
Moderna Museet Malmö and Form Design Center.
Everything is within easy reach in Sweden’s most cosmopolitan city. Beyond
that, Copenhagen is just half an hour away across the Öresund Bridge
Today Malmö is a city where you can be certain to experience something new.
Welcome to Malmö. It starts here!

Elektricitetsverk as a power station.
At the castle, which is the oldest

Christmas in Malmö
MALMÖ STAD
All of Malmö sparkles and shimmers in the Christmas time.
From the last weekend of November and all the way to Christmas Eve.
With special Christmas markets, carol concerts, atmospheric street
lighting and traditional Swedish Saint Lucia celebrations.
Getting into the spirit of Christmas is easy in Malmö.
ACTIVITY
In Sweden, Christmas is mainly
celebrated on the 24th of
December, when families
gather in richly decorated
homes to feast on Swedish
Christmas treats such as
mustard glazed ham, pickled
herring, meatballs, schnapps
and creamy rice porridge. The
highlight of the evening is
the traditional dance around
the Christmas tree, followed
by a visit by Santa Claus
himself. Usually a neighbor
or male relative in disguise,
he traditionally arrives after
the dancing is done to deliver
the Christmas presents to
expectant children.
In Malmö the Christmas
preparations last throughout
December. On the 13th the
official Saint Lucia of Malmö
is crowned, and then leads
a beautiful procession of
singing, white-clad followers
through the streets. During
the Advent weekends, cozy
Christmas markets take place,
full of locally produced food,
handicraft products, Christmas
sweets, music and dancing.
Both the Christmas market at
Malmöhus Castle and the one
at Katrinetorp, a picturesque
19th century farmhouse on the
outskirts of Malmö, are well
worth a visit!
