Ifo Center is a culture project initiated by artists in one of Sweden's oldest ceramic factory areas. The factory area has been totally closed to outsiders for decades, but select parts can now be visited through Ifo Center's guided tours. Please note that to get inside the still active factory area, visit the artist studios and various on-going projects of the collective you will need to book a tour in advance. In the tour you get to go behind the fence and barbed wire. Your guide will share the story of Ifo Center and the Outdoor Gallery, with amazing artwork by international street artists, tell you all about how it all started, and give you the scoop on Europe´s largest stoneware fountain "Scanisaurus" - depicting two live sized ceramic dinosaurs. For the finish you will be served Swedish "fika" and the local speciality "Bromollagomma", pimped out with fresh forrest berries. If you cant attend a guided tour, Ifo Center Art Hall can still be visited (free) & some art seen outside.

Travelled over to Malmo from Copenhagen for a long weekend in December, went by train, great views and wonderful experience, have always wanted to do this journey, really comfortable way to travel between countries & very fast and efficient and on time. Journey back was a disappointment as sky was black, and middle of a storm but fun all the same.

Sofiero Palace was, until the 1970s, a summer residence for Swedish royalty. The magnificent heritage of thousands of rhododendrons, beds, borders and kitchen gardens is carefully tended by a team of dedicated experts. In 2010, Sofiero was voted Europe’s Best Park.Sofiero is situated just north of the town of Helsingborg in southern Sweden. Interesting exhibitions in the palace and a variety of exciting events and activities in the beautiful park and gardens are some of the things you can look forward to when planning your visit. The season, during which the palace, shops, restaurant and café are open for visitors, starts March 31 and ends in September. However, you are welcome to visit Sofiero for a guided tour, a walk in the park and a chance to enjoy the view over the strait of Öresund to Denmark at any time of the year.

Sofiero is a great place to visit for the formal gardens, especially in the spring for the rhododendrons and in the autumn for the ljusstämning (where the grounds are open at night with all the paths lit by candles.)

This is a beautifully built cathedral. It is worth a visit with a day trip from Malmo. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful and you can visit the basement of the church as well. A must visit when in Lund.

Charming area that’s paved with natural stones with a nice variety of restaurants and shops. A couple of the restaurants are busy year round (especially in summer) as they have ample outdoor seating.. Nicely decorated with plenty of lights during the holiday season. (Don’t miss the oversized lamp) About 10 minutes walk from Malmo C & easy to find & close to the Stortorget. Great for a drink or meal in the square.
8. St. Petri (St. Peter's Church)

The Church looks very nice from the outside. Inside, it is quite plain, despite its 700 year history, although the side altar at the back has some faded murals, which are more often seen in Italian churches. The main altar is very dramatic and it is possible to walk all the way behind it. Around the church in various paces is plenty of evidence of regular worship and an active role in its local and wider community.

From here you have an excellent view. You can also walk down to the small light house at the tip of the rocks and enjoy some trails nearby. There are also some caves you can get to by foot.
