Tere!

Since I went to Malmö while I was in Sweden, I will introduce some places that you should/may go to when visiting Malmö! (NB: Only the places I went to.)

1. St. Peter’s Church

This is the first place that I went to when visiting Malmö! There was no specific reason to go there though. I just took a photo of the outside of the church, and didn’t look inside as I feel I’m not allowed to enter a church…

2. Apoteket Lejonet

This pharmacy is said to have been built in 1896, but it functions as a pharmacy even now. I felt shy about looking inside as I didn’t need anything from there as a pharmacy, but I entered because I wanted to see. Then I saw many jars that looked old (ancient). It seemed there were lots of tourists who would drop by and only see inside, so the clerk didn’t seem to care that I just entered, took a few photos, and just left.

3. Form/Design Centre

I got quite interested in this place before going to Malmö. It might be hard to find, but the entrance is in the inner court. There is no admission fee.

On entering the building, I checked the bathroom. I wanted to go because I spent 2.5 hours on the train, but it cost if I used the bathroom in the Malmö station (around 10 SEK), so I gave the idea up.

Here you can use the bathroom for free!

But each single toilet room was pretty small.

The centre itself was like an art museum, and it appeared that there were workshops some time.

4. Malmö City Library

When I found this building online, the review seemed fine, and that is why I went there, but personally it was merely a regular modern library. I don’t see the inside though.

5. Slottsparken

This is, in fact, a huge park where a windmill and Malmö castle are located, but I found something interesting.

In the park, on the way to the windmill, there were several small houses (?). I reckon that those would be prettier if there was no scribbling.

6. Castle Mill

This is a windmill in Slottsparken. On the way there, there was something like a pretty vast inner court that would look like a scene from a fairy tale in summer. It was fun to walk there.

The windmill was not working, but looked nice.

7. Malmö Castle

You can go to the castle from the place of the windmill. A museum was built inside of the castle, but I didn’t go as it wasn’t free. I just looked at the “inside” of the castle, and headed to another destination. The Malmö castle is built as if it had protected something in the site. (Also the reason why I didn’t visit the museum is because I still have a habit of behaving like a super poor person since I travelled a lot when I was a student who did not have much money…)

8. Turning Torso

Turning Torso is located a bit far from the centre of Malmö. Like its name, the building looks turning.

Since it’s quite a tall building, I could see from a distance, so I didn’t go in front of the building.

Besides, as I didn’t do any massage on my feet in the previous day, those were hurt, and physically it was very hard for me to keep walking. In other words, I just gave up going there. However, I’m satisfied as I could see anyways. I think I couldn’t take a picture if I had gotten too close.

★Summary

That’s all about the places in Malmö. I felt Malmö was a pretty small city although it’s said to be the third biggest city in Sweden. Therefore, if you travel alone, you probably need only half a day or one day. If you travel with someone else, then you might need more than one day as you might spend more time.

Aitäh! 🙂
