I really like Malmö, lots of great restaurants and a beautiful city to walk and bike around. Many parks and I love that the sea is close.

Malmö is a nice city with a quite different vibe from Stockholm and Gothenburg. I enjoy that it feels more relaxed and that there are a bunch of restaurants from all over the world. I am not completely in love with the place like some of my friends. For a nicer and larger international city, I prefer crossing the bridge to Copenhagen, and for a mid-sized Swedish city, I actually prefer Helsingborg a little further north.

The parks are great, the food selection more interesting than in most of Sweden, and you can't argue that you find delicious falafels here. On a nice sunny day is a great place to just hang out and have a beer at an outdoor pub or to enjoy authentic Cantonese cuisine at Köket LU.
