Malmo, Sweden: a great family destination
When traveling with children, you want to find places that are attractive enough to keep them interested without being too expensive. Nothing ruins the holiday faster than bored kids. Fortunately, the city of Malmo in southern Sweden is one of those places.
Malmo is the third largest city in Sweden, and has the highest ratio of restaurants, gardens and parks to people in the country. This means you will have zero trouble keeping food in the family. The festival runs from McDonald are a high dollar price, with a lot of options in between. Lilla Torg area is bursting at the seams with options. From sushi to falafel, the outdoor cafes are in a black suit and tie. Stand in the center of the shopping district and back with eyes closed. You just cannot go wrong.
Every international cuisine imaginable can be found in Malmo. If you are in the mood for local seafood, try Johan P Saluhallen’sa. For Greek food, and Yasso Dyonisos both are excellent choices. But when in Sweden you should really try the local specialties. So go to
City Hall and the winery is Radhuskälleran, with some of the best Scandinavian food around not an exorbitant price.
Malmo, Sweden
If you are visiting Spain during the winter months, do not be afraid. This part of southern Sweden (Skane called) is not as bad as people think, time-wise. Compare to New York in your mind and was just about right … but with a little less snow in Malmo. It is not cold enough to keep a wonderful outdoor skating rink, however, and has no Stortorget, next to your hotel in central business district. Cold is the statue of King Charles X Gustav on your horse and walk behind the buildings. There. Families come from all over the general area have lots of fun on this track. If you need more winter clothes, go to almost none of the delightful shops that surround the ice rink and buy some. Scandinavia has some of the best winter clothing in the world, and not expensive at all.
As for costs, another myth is that Sweden is very expensive. That’s not true. The taxes are already added to the cost of everything, so the price you see is the price you pay. No surprises in this incredible country. Like the U.S., you pay depends largely on where you shop. Think Bloomingdales compared to Wal-Mart.
Sweden has the same range of purchases and prices so do take the time to shop.
