Visit Malmö & Lund This Summer
Visit BON TON goods in Malmö this summer and discover two of southern Sweden’s most beautiful cities. From historic streets and seaside cafés to museums, gardens, architecture, and Scandinavian design, Malmö and nearby Lund offer the perfect long weekend escape.
Malmö: Parks, Design, Sea Air & Scandinavian Charm
Malmö has quietly become one of Scandinavia’s most charming destinations. Relaxed yet sophisticated, historic yet contemporary, the city blends cobblestone streets, modern Nordic architecture, gardens, beaches, cafés, and an increasingly exciting food scene.
The pace here feels softer than many larger European cities. You can spend the morning wandering through parks and museums, stop for coffee and pastries in a quiet courtyard café, browse independent boutiques and antique shops in the afternoon, and finish the evening with wine by the water or dinner beneath candlelight.
A visit to BON TON goods is the perfect starting point for exploring the city. Located in central Malmö, our shop offers a carefully curated collection of ceramics, glassware, jewelry, candles, textiles, antiques, and Scandinavian design.
What to See in Malmö
Spend time wandering through the historic center around Lilla Torg and Gamla Väster, where colorful buildings, hidden courtyards, and small independent shops create one of the city’s most picturesque neighborhoods.
Visit Malmö Konsthall, one of Europe’s largest contemporary art spaces, or explore Moderna Museet Malmö for modern and contemporary works in a beautifully restored industrial building.
During warmer months, locals head to Ribersborg Kallbadhus for sea bathing and sauna rituals along the waterfront. Nearby parks such as Slottsparken and Kungsparken offer lush walking paths and gardens that make the city feel unexpectedly green.
A Perfect Day Trip to Lund
Just a short train ride from Malmö, Lund offers a completely different atmosphere. One of Sweden’s oldest cities, Lund is known for its medieval streets, historic university, stone buildings, gardens, and quiet intellectual charm.
The city feels intimate and timeless. Cyclists glide past centuries-old architecture, cafés spill into small squares, and ivy-covered buildings line narrow streets that seem unchanged for generations.
Visit the magnificent Lund Cathedral, stroll through the botanical gardens, browse independent bookstores, or simply spend the afternoon moving slowly between cafés and antique shops.
Scandinavian Summer Living
Summer in southern Sweden is defined by long evenings, outdoor dining, flowers from the garden, bicycle rides by the sea, and homes filled with candlelight even in the warmer months.
This slower rhythm shapes the atmosphere of both Malmö and Lund. Visitors often discover that the beauty here lies not in rushing from landmark to landmark, but in enjoying everyday rituals: coffee in the morning sun, browsing shops without hurry, lingering over dinner outdoors, and walking through quiet streets late into the evening.
Plan Your Visit
Whether you are visiting for a weekend, traveling through Scandinavia, or crossing the bridge from Copenhagen, Malmö and Lund offer an inspiring blend of culture, design, history, and relaxed Nordic living.
