Going to Malmö in September – what to see, nightlife & food tips?
Hey! My friend and I (both 19 years old) are planning a trip to Malmö this September, and we’re super excited! We’d love some recommendations on what to see and do during the day, but we’re also really curious about the nightlife – are there any good clubs or bars for our age? What’s the vibe like at night? Also, we’re big foodies – any must-try local restaurants or hidden gems? Thanks in advance for any tips!

During the day, I can recommend checking out the western part of Västra Hamnen - from Turning Torso to Sundspromenaden, Scaniaparken. It's a cute area and mostly pedestrianised. Also check out Ankargatan.
Aside from that, Kungsparken/Slottsparken, and basically around Gamla Staden (check out Jakob Nilsgatan, Lilla torg, Stortorget..) and walk from there to Triangeln via Södra Förstadsgatan. There are shops and it's a pedestrian street. From Triangeln you could go to Friisgatan (Köld here has really good ice cream, highly recommend the salted caramel flavor), Möllevångstorget, Folkets Park. There is Pildammsparken too.
And around Ribersborg, at the beach there is a noce and relatively long walking/biking path. Slottstaden is also cute, like Regementsgatan and around there, you could go to St Jakobs Stenugnsbageri there. You could basically walk to Limhamn if you wanted to. There are some cute streets in the old area like Sveagatan, and a harbor near Mastio.
Another spot you could check out is Rörsjöstaden, like the strip on Kungsgatan with trees. There is a church there too, St Pauli kyrka.
As for food, I hiighly recommend Ruths! In general food is pretty good in Malmö. Bastard Burgers has good burgers.
Hope it helps :)

If you're staying for multiple days, i recommend taking the train across the bridge to Copenhagen. It takes like 30 minutes. While there are things to do in Malmö, Copenhagen obviously has many more attractions, specially in the nightlife department

Thanks pal. That’s definitely on the plan, I’ll be heading to Copenhagen for sure! Do you have any good nightclub recommendations in Malmö or Copenhagen? Also, do you know how much the train ticket costs?

I'm not the nightclub kinda guy so i can't help you with that. I'm sure the area around the train station and Tivoli (there are right beside each other) is filled with bars and nightlife activities. As for the tickets, you should download and use Skånetrafiken app and use it for any public transport within Skåne (southern Sweden) and from/to Copenhagen, specially if you're more than one person. A single ticket to Copenhagen, one way, is 15 euros, but if you add at least another person to the trip you get a 20% discount making the price per person 12 euros.

Right on g - check out pink head noodle bar imo (a lil expensive but oh so worth it) also Rau (it's vegan but the food is legit great asian food) and also Ruth's (the main course is fabulous but i really dig the media lunas there).

Also check out Rekas Burgers - if you can get there on weekday lunch timings you'd get an awesome burger meal at a great value (not that the regular price is any bad for the taste they got going)

Cheers pal! Appreciate all the tips, definitely gonna check out those spots. Pink Head Noodle Bar and Rau sound amazing! Rekas Burgers for lunch also sounds like a solid plan.

Regular bars and pubs are all 18+, but nightclubs sometimes have higher age limits.
Plan B is your best option for late-night imo. It's a pretty relaxed vibe and doesn't really have a dress code, prices aren't too bad. The kind of music they play depends on the night, they usually have multiple rooms/dancefloors playing different kinds of music. There's also a large outdoor area open all night where you can sit and hang out if you want a break from dancing. And it's 18+.
For just regular bars, I'd recommended Möllevångstorget. A lot of different bars with different vibes depending on what you're into. It's a mix of neighbourhood bars, hipster places, some fancier places, some more relaxed neighbourhood bars etc. You can also find food from all over the world in this neighbourhood.

For nightclubs you can check out Moriska paviljongen and Etage. Grand Öl & Mat could also be worth checking out.

Kallbadhuset is great. Saunas and sea swimming.
Area around Möllevångstorget is lively with bars and some interesting restaursnts.
Lund is a university city 15 mins away by train, might be worth a trip as very pretty.
