Malmö

Malmö has twice been named Bicycle Friendly City of the Year in Sweden. In 2013, the city expressed its ambition to “make a good cycling city better, with a world-class cycling environment”. People in Malmö also cycle for fun. The bike parking is located in a park near the beach. The journey north from Malmö offers an enjoyable bike ride with nice views.

Kaptensgatan in Malmö is one of the busiest streets for cycling (driving is not allowed here). More than 10,000 people cycle past this spot in an average working day. Using (smart) phones while cycling is not allowed in Sweden (and possibly the Netherlands from 1 July 2019) for the safety of road users.

North of Malmö is Spillepengen, a green area in stark contrast to the city. Its shallow seas are important resting and wintering grounds for bird life, so they are vast. Alternatively, take the opportunity to try the scenic mountain bike trails in the area. In addition to cultural offerings, history and art exhibitions, you'll also find life on the beach. If you want adventure on the sea, you can go with a fishing boat out of the strait. Take a bike ride on a boat and take a detour to Ven Island, where you can enjoy tranquility, beautiful nature, and great ingredients from local farm shops.
