Guidebook for Malmö
Food Scene
Kaffebaren is my favourite coffee shop in town. It´s small and busy and makes a great stop after doing your fruit and veg shopping at the local market on Möllevången square. The staff really knows their coffee and they also have delicious little somethings to go with your cappuccino or grilled sandwiches, vegan or non-vegan.

Café Simrishamnsgatan or "Simpan" as we say locally is one of the oldest cafés at Möllevången. It has a laid back vibe and the perfect place for discussion over a cup. They serve coffees, sandwiches and simple meals and in the afternoon it turns into a bar.

Getting Around
The main bus stop with both local and regional buses. If you are staying a week or longer I recommend getting a Jojo card, that you can buy at Skånetrafikens office. It will give you much cheaper tickets around Malmö, Skåne and to Copenhagen.

Entertainment & Activities
This is really a must if you´re into sauna and winterbathing. If not, it´s still worth a visit. Kallbadhuset or "Kallis" is very beautiful and historical building on a pier out in the sea. Personally I go here at least once a week to take sauna and relax and afterwards lunch or a cup of coffee in the restaurant.
