Folkets Park is Sweden’s oldest “folkpark” and has beautiful lawns, tivoli, cafés, restaurant, terrarium, adventure golf, horse riding and live entertainment in summer.
Walking along the cobblestone streets of Old Town (Gamla Staden), you’ll get a taste of life in years gone by. That is, until you stumble upon one of the many funky galleries, trendy boutiques or stylish cafés that line the narrow streets.
Wandering the picturesque streets, you’ll inevitably end up in Stortorget, the oldest and largest square in Malmö, encircled by beautiful 16th century architecture. Stortorget remains a center of activity and is a good place to orient yourself when exploring this vibrant neighborhood.
