A QUICK TRAVEL GUIDE TO MALMÖ

A Quick Travel Guide to Malmö Sweden by Kati of black.white.vivid. // vegan Malmo, vegan Malmö, vegan food guide Malmö, food guide, Sweden guide, Sweden travel guide, Malmö city guide, Lightroom presets

While some people dread the moody, cold and rainy autumn weather, I personally love the days when the end of summer approaches and fresh air fills the streets. Living in a country where it’s hot all year long and seasons basically don’t exist, I miss European autumns. Like a lot. So when I got the chance to visit southern Sweden beginning of October, I wasn’t only excited about exploring beautiful Malmö but I was hoping for some autumn-like days too.

Malmö wasn’t a stranger to me. I grew up at the German Baltic Sea and as kids, we were joking that we could see its city lights on a clear day. My hometown Rostock is situated on one side and Malmö on the other side of the Baltic Sea. During my childhood, we would travel to Sweden almost every summer and even though I had visited Malmö many times, I honestly couldn’t remember much about it anymore.

Malmö is Sweden’s third largest city and once upon a time, it might have been a city that didn’t get much attention from tourists. But this has changed and it has become a popular destination for weekend getaways and family vacations. With more than 150 nationalities calling Malmö their home, it is wonderfully urban, wordly and cultured. The mix of Swedish aesthetics and international influences combined with its Nordic coolness makes Malmö a great place for a short city trip. Busy Middle Eastern markets and cozy Italian-style coffee joints happen right next to sweet-smelling Swedish bakeries and hip eateries. The Scandinavian coastline and historic old town counter coexist with modern skyscrapers and an impressive collection of galleries, boutiques, and shops.

It’s a city of contrasts but that’s what it makes so fun to visit. I spent 2 night and 3 days in Malmö at the gorgeous Hotel Master Johan. Most of the time I explored Malmö by foot but I equally loved using the self-serve bikes of Malmö by Bike to get around the town more quickly. A lot of the places I ate and drank at offer vegan options but all of them always offer vegetarian options. For more travel and food inspiration also have a look at @Malmotown’s Instagram account and website.

Visit

Jakob Nilsgatan

Malmö is full of picturesque alleys and streets but the Jacob Nilsgatan is particularly beautiful. It’s located in the city center and just a short walk away from the train station and old town.

Slottsträdgarden Park

Right next to the Jacob Nilsgatan begins the gorgeous and lush city park Slottsträdgarden (Castle Garden). Do yourself a favor and pack a freshly baked cinnamon roll with some coffee and have a little picnic next to the channel or the public green space provided by Human Gardening.

Davidshall

Davidshall is probably my favorite neighborhood in Malmö. The combination of delicious coffee shops, trendy boutiques and gorgeous architecture stole my heart on the first day. Some stores are a little hidden, others you can find on its main street but overall it’s a great place to do some strolling and shopping.

St. Knuts

What Davidshall is for shopping, St. Knuts is for eating and drinking. Though you also find some gorgeous stores here too, I especially liked this neighborhood for all its cozy coffee shops, bakeries, and eateries. I could have easily spent all three days in St. Knuts, eating my way around because the options are endless and all so delicious.

Canals and Western Harbour

If you are looking for a little change in (architectural) scenery, head over to Malmö’s canals and western harbor. This part of Malmö is in total contrast to its medieval old town but equally impressive. The weather and my broken umbrella didn’t really allow me to explore much of the beach-side but I heard it’s beautiful, especially in summer.

Eat & Drink

Solde Kaffebar & Coffee roasting

There are two things I don’t lose much time on when I land in Sweden. First, I always have an oatmilk (Oatly) cappuccino the second after I have checked in to my hotel or Airbnb. Followed by a freshly baked cinnamon, cardamom or saffron bun. Though I  feel like there hasn’t ever been an oatmilk cappuccino I didn’t like at all, there only have been a few I really loved and will tell my children about one day. One of those I drank at Solde Kaffeebar, an Italian-style coffee shop that was recommended to me by a few people. Solde only sources coffee that is traceable to the farmer and they roast their beans in-house, too.

Jord – frukost, fik & butik

One of those places where you instantly feel at home, Jord is a cute and light-filled cafe and boutique that serves amazing breakfast and pastries. I tried the millet porridge which did not taste like your average oatmeal but had a beautiful texture and was topped with delicious berries, seeds and figs. Jord also hosts a little shop section which is filled with gorgeous items, most of them from local designers and artists.

St. Jakobs Stenugnsbageri

Remember that there are two things I can’t wait to do the second I land in Sweden. One of them is getting fresh cardamon or cinnamon buns. And I had my first (of many) Swedish buns at St. Jakobs Stenugnsbageri. It’s probably the most popular place for Swedish pastries in Malmö and I also have to say that everything I tried at St. Jakobs was very good.

St. Jakobs bakery has various locations but I loved the one at Malmö Saluhall (Gibraltargatan 6, 211 18 Malmö), a food hall with all kinds of delicious food.

Uggla Kaffebar

Situated in the heart of the hip neighborhood St. Knuts, Uggla is tiny but has a welcoming and super friendly atmosphere. It’s become a hotspot in Malmö over the past years and judging by the crowds that come here especially on a sunny day, the demand for its tasty coffee (and golden mylk) is as high as ever.

If you don’t find a table or seat at Uggla, there are two other cafes just a stone throw away. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit them but heard only good things about their quality of coffee and food: Cafe No. 6 (Mäster Henriksgatan 6, 211 58 Malmö) and Söderberg & Sara (Mäster Danielsgatan 3, 211 58 Malmö).

Sájvva

I initially hadn’t planned to visit Sájvaa but it was one of the few hip vegan places that was open on Monday evening. Oh boy, I’m so happy I went. Only afterward I found out that it had quite a strong fan base all over Sweden. The menu is Asian inspired and the attention to detail as well as the mix of various flavors and textures make the food at Sajvva special and very delicious.

If you are not into Asian cuisine or have an extra day to spend I would recommend visiting Mineral (Sankt Knuts väg 13, 211 57 Malmö). It’s considered the best vegan restaurant by most people in Malmö and I would have love to give it a try too but it was closed on Monday.

Lilla Kafferosteriet

If you followed my Instagram Stories while I visiting Malmö, you might have seen me raving about the oatmilk cappuccino at Lilla Kafferosteriet. It was probably the best one I’ve ever had and I loved every sip of it. Lilla also serves some amazing pastries and sandwiches. It’s located right in the city center (old town), so there is definitely no excuse to visit any of the chains.

Leve

So here is the brutal truth about being a food enthusiast. I had planned to leave Malmö early Wednesday morning to spend a day in Copenhagen before heading back home. But friends of mine (hey goodeating and lindalo) had enthusiastically praised the pastries at Leve and since it was closed Monday and Tuesday and only opened around midday on Wednesday, I made the ‘not so difficult’ sacrifice to extend my day for what I would later call the softest and most delicious cinnamon bun in the world.

Nam Do

There are many advantages to visit Malmö offseason. The streets are less busy with tourists, I simply love the mix of warm sunshine one day and a chill cloudy morning the next day and you might discover hidden gems. It was a rainy Tuesday and I had originally planned to visit Kafé Agnez  (Agnesgatan 11, 211 33 Malmö). But it seems that it’s only open on weekends during the colder, so instead of being upset about standing in front of a closed door, I went on Google Maps, typed in vegan and searched for high ranking restaurants close by.

The result: Nam Do, a Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered their vegan spring rolls, thinking this was always a somewhat safe option and didn’t expect much. I wish I had taken photos but the light was horrible and the photos wouldn’t do any justice. So I can only recommend you to check out Nam Do, the food was very tasty.

Stay

Hotel Master Johan

In all honesty, I didn’t expect much from the hotel scene in Malmö. I thought, maybe they have a few nice hotel chains and some cute B&Bs. I was more than positively surprised when I stepped foot into Hotel Master Johan. This quirky boutique hotel is all kinds of hip and stylish. The design rooms are relatively large and house big comfortable beds. The hotel bar is a local hotspot at night and the hotel reception welcomes guests next to a cozy fireplace, which is especially a plus during the colder months in Malmö. The breakfast offers all kinds of vegan and non-vegan options and is served in a beautiful glass-roofed courtyard. The hotel staff was always super friendly and I welcomed from the first minute.

The 2.5 days I spent in Malmö quickly went by. Even though I wish I would have had more time to try out a few more food places and explore come of its museums, I think 2-4 days are the perfect amount for most tourists to visit Malmö. If you’d like to know more about things to do, see and eat in Malmö I recommend you have a look at the official visitor site of Malmö, Sweden. As everything in Malmö, it’s not as old-fashioned and boring as you would expect from a tourism city but it hosts some pretty great insights and ideas about Malmö.

Thank you again @Malmotown for inviting me on this wonderful trip to Malmö. I sure will be back again.

Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too.

Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May.

Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
