Malmo - STORY

Stortorget Square - center

It is definitely worth visiting and disclosures. This city lies on the shores of the Strait of Oresund, and it exudes with peace and harmony, like an old acquaintance who freely welcomes newcomers, receives it to settle, and it carefully keeps the Swedes. Across the coast is the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, about 25km away… connected by Oresund bridge, the longest combined bridge in Europe.

Oresund bridge

It is a bit different from most European cities, but pretty decorated and full of greenery. It is the epitome of Swedish standards and planned made details. Everything is wrapped up with an order. Harmonious life with completely quiet streets, where they do not hear the siren. Sympathic green buses with no crowds, high speed metro and bicycles (that are unavoidable) make quite harmonious traffic. It has mild climate compared to other parts of Sweden.

It is quite developed city and loved tourist destination

It is the end of April and beginning of May and we see the difference. The days are long but now last up to 21h in the evening. April, they say, was rainy and cold, and we arrived and caught the sun that Swedes are so fond of, but unfortunately, have little of it.

Traffic is pretty quiet

The Baltic is an old wolf, surrounded by cold and winds and it is almost impossible to swim even in the middle of July. Wind did not stop us, now in May, to enjoy the sunshine on the plateau near the sea. Coffee shop chain, known throughout Scandinavia attracted us with its offer of delicious coffee. Well known Espresso House, hides Chai late that I was delighted with the first sip. Cake with attached spices and accompanied by cream, is fitting perfectly with taste. Cappuccino, in a huge cup and milder taste than in Serbia, deserves a price of 4 euros.

Coffee, sweet coffee! :)

Structure and harmony! I could get used to living here easily

The only thing that would have ruined the idyll is the time. This decorated and beautiful country, unfortunately is not blessed with beautiful weather and sunny days, although it enjoys many other benefits. Out of 365 days a year, as they say, about 280 is without sun, which depends from year to year. The days are gray, weather is cold and the wind blows from the Baltic. Pretty depressing for us, sensitive to the cold. In rare sunny days, the Swedes come out into nature and the sea coast, enjoying. However, these people are quite used to cold. Who knows, maybe many of them don’t mind.

During our stay, we enjoyed the sunny days of Malmo and I admit - it was wonderful. Residents of the town rushed out wearing short and sitting in Parkview, soak up the sun. July and August are warmest with decent 25 and 26 degrees. In winter, the hard-working Swedes are going in warmer regions and islands. Why could they not when their standard and the amount of wages allow that!

Prices in restaurants are pretty high for the Serbian budget, so it is best to settle in the markets. Typical Swedish food, at least what we tried was delicious, and how could it not when our hostess made an effort to make our atmosphere in Malmo to be - at a fairly high level.

Our hostess welcomed us :)

Lund
We popped down to Lund, a town close to Malmö. There is also a student city. April 30 is celebrated as the day before the 1st May, so we had the opportunity to see many young people in one place, enjoying their time.

Swedes

The Swedes have rather fair complexion, hair and eyes. Women are extremely beautiful, natural blondes with bright blue eyes. Young people are quite independent and at the age of 19 leave the family environment. Organized state which give money to them, allows studies. The city, as well as the whole of Sweden is extremely expensive and is quite difficult to plan the visit unless you have someone to welcome you.

What need to be seen in Malmo:

1. Walk along the shore of the Baltic Sea, enjoying the sun and end up on the bench in front of Espresso House

2. Visits Turining Torso building - the tallest building in Scandinavia, from which you can see the whole Malmo http://www.turningtorso.net/

3. Visit Espresso House, the famous coffee chain in Scandinavia and try the chai late with some of the pastries (cinnamon) http://www.espressohouse.com/hitta-oss/sverige/malmoe/

4. Visit Sky bar- where you can also see Malmo

5. Visit Lund campus, walk through the city and next to the University. Visit one of the cafes with good coffee and cakes - for example, "Ebbas Cafe"

6. Visit the center of Malmo - refer to the Stortorget Square, a favorite destination for tourists

7. Saturday taking the cocktails at Lilla torg. This is the center of entertainment and nightlife. Cocktails are great, for example in "TGI Fridays"

8. Use the benefits of the bridge leading to Copenhagen - Oresund Bridge https://www.oresundsbron.com/en/node/6738

9. Visit the church of Saint Peter (Sankt Petrikyrkan) Gothic church from the 14th century. This is the oldest building in Malmo.

Malme - lepotan drugačiji od ostalih evropskih

Trg Stortorget - centar

Vredan je posete i razotkrivanja, nezanemarljiv na mapi Evrope. Ovaj grad na obali moreuza Oresunda, zrači mirom i skladnošću, poput kakvog starog znanca koji slobodno dočekuje došljake, prima ih da se nasele, a svoje Šveđane brižljivo čuva. Preko puta obale je glavni grad Danske, Kopenhagen, udaljen nekih 25km. Sa njim je povezan Oresundskim mostom, najdužim kombinovanim mostom-tunelom u Evropi.

Bitno drugačiji od većine evropskih gradova, ali prilično uređen i pun zelenila, oličenje je švedskog standarda i planski napravljenih detalja. Sve je upakovano u red. Skladan za život, sa sasvim mirnim ulicama, gde se ne čuju sirene, bez rupa na putevima, pukotina na fasadama zgrada, ili kakvog sličnog obeležja ex jugoslovenskih zemalja, na koje smo navikli. Simpatični zeleni autobusi u kojima nema gužve, brzi metro i bicikla koja su obavezno prevozno sredstvo, čine prilično harmoničan saobraćaj. Ima blagu klimu u odnosu na ostale delove Švedske.

Prilično je razvijen grad i voljena turistička odrednica

Kraj je aprila, početak maja i već se vidi razlika. Dani su sada već dugi pa traju i do 21h uveče. April je, kažu bio kišan i hladan, a mi smo stigli i uhvatili sunce koje Šveđani toliko vole, a na žalost, jako malo imaju.

Baltik je stari vuk, hladan i okružen vetrovima pa je kupanje gotovo nemoguće čak i u sred jula. To nas nije sprečilo da, sada u maju, uživamo na suncu na platou u blizini mora. Lanac kafeterija, poznat u celoj Skandinaviji “kupio“ nas je svojom ponudom ukusnih kafa. Poznati Espresso House, krije Chai late koji me je oduševio već sa prvim gutljajem. Kolač, sa pridodatim začinima i dopunjen slatkom pavlakom, odlično se uklapa uz njegov ukus. Kapućino, u ogromnoj šolji i blažeg ukusa nego kod nas, zaslužuje cenu od 4 evra.

Obala mora je dar gradu - za dnevnu šetnju

Uređenost i sklad! Mogla bih da se naviknem

Jedino što bi mi kvarilo idilu jeste vreme. Ovako uređena i lepa zemlja, na žalost nije blagoslovena lepim vremenom i sunčanim danima, iako uživa mnoge druge blagodeti. Od 365 dana u godini kažu da je oko 280 bez sunca, što zavisi od godine do godine. Dani su sivi, vreme hladno i duva vetar sa Baltika. Prilično deprimirajuće za nas zimogrožljive. U retkim sunčanim danima, Šveđani izađu u prirodu i na obale mora, uživajući. Međutim, ovi ljudi su prilično naviknuti na hladnoću. Ko zna, možda mnogima ipak ne smeta.

Za vreme našeg boravka, uživali smo u danima osunčanog Malmea i priznajem – bio je divan. Stanovnici grada su pohitali napolje i u majicama kratkih rukava i sedeći u parkvima, upijali sunce. Najtoplije je u julu i avgustu sa pristojnih 25 i 26 stepeni. Zimi se vredni Šveđani upute u toplije krajeve i ostrva. Kako i ne bi kada im standard i visina plata to dozvoljavaju!

Prilično miran saobraćaj

Cene u restoranima su prilično visoke za srpski džep pa je najbolje namiriti se u marketima. Tipično švedska hrana, bar ono što smo probali je ukusna, a kako i ne bi kada se naša domaćica potrudila da ugođaj u Malmeu bude- na prilično visokom nivou.

Naša domaćica se potrudila da nas dobro ugosti :)

Lund

Skoknuli smo i do Lunda, gradića u blizini Malmea. Ovde se nalazi i studentski grad. 30. april se slavi kao dan pred 1.maj pa smo imali priliku da vidimo mnoštvo mladih ljudi na jednom mestu, kako se raduju uz piće i muziku.

Jedna od najstarijih građevina u Skandinaviji - protestantska crkva u Lundu

Šveđani

Šveđani su pretezno svetle puti, boje kose i očiju. Žene su izuzetno lepe, prirodne plavuše sa svetlim plavim očima. Mladi su prilično samostalni i već sa 19 godina odlaze iz porodičnog okruženja. Uređena država i davanje novca na studijama im to omogućuje. Grad je, kao i cela Švedska izuzetno skup pa je ponekad naporno isplanirati dolazak i posetu ukoliko nemate nekog da vas ugosti.
