Our first day in Malmö wasn't over yet. After many hours spent on the beaches in Falsterbo, we freshened up and had lunch in a randomly discovered gastronomic zone set up in an industrial hall. There, you can find kitchens from different parts of the world and spend a pleasant time in a modernly designed space. I opted for delicious falafels with a generous amount of salad and tasty sauces.
We enjoyed that place so much that we also had dinner there on the last day of our stay in Malmö.
I love exploring the places I visit from various perspectives, including iconic landmarks and ordinary streets, parks, and squares. I enjoy immersing myself in the sounds and scents of the environment. The best way to do this is by taking a walk.

We spent a brief moment in the city center that evening because we wanted to watch the sunset on the city beach. The route there led through the former industrial part of the city, which is now transforming into modern neighborhoods. This is a perfect example of successful revitalization of a post-industrial area. Some investments were still in progress, but the effects were already visible.

The recreational area stretching along the coast is more than just a beach. Right behind the strip of clean sand, there are extensive green areas with walking paths and spots for active leisure.

On the horizon, you can see the famous Øresund Bridge, which is 7845 meters long and connects Malmö to Copenhagen. In fact, it's just a part of the connection between Sweden and Denmark, which consists of the bridge, an artificial island, and a tunnel - totaling about 16 kilometers.
I enjoy Scandinavian crime stories, both books, and movies, and this bridge sometimes appears in them as a silent hero, especially in the Swedish-Danish series "The Bridge" (Bron/Broen). Ever since I watched it, I really wanted to cross this bridge. I did it the next day during my trip to Copenhagen, so the next posts will be about the day spent in the capital of Denmark. You will find out that the Øresund Bridge was not the only destination inspired by the book.
We bid goodnight to Malmö, tomorrow, a trip to Copenhagen!
