Home Decorating

To decorate after a theme is easier than you might think. Seek inspiration online, in magazines and in books. If you want an exotic theme in a room you can go for colourful fabrics, candles, soft pillows and rugs, huge green plants and low tables. If you´re not interested in decorating a whole room after a theme, it is both fun and pretty to decorate just a small part of your apartment or house – for example your balcony. At Indiska and Åhléns you´ll find inexpensive home furnishing.

Camp Sites in Skåne

Be inspired by the region´s best camp sites in the article Camping in Skåne.

The Public Park

Folkets Park is situated by Amiralsgatan, near Möllevångstorget in Malmoe, and is the first community park in Sweden. The park fast became a popular meeting point for the workers at that time. From 1926, Folkets Park changed their character from a political meeting point to an amusement park and started to build carrousels and other attractions. During summertime, the park is still one of the most popular hang-outs.

Everybody’s park

The park is to a large extent the children’s park, there’s much for the youngest to experience. The terrarium has exotic animals, such as lizards, snakes, crocodiles, spiders and turtles. In the children’s farm Arken you can pet guinea pigs, chickens and sheep or go pony riding. In the southern end of the park there’s a large playground and a paddling pool, which in wintertime is turned into a skating park. The Tivoli has the largest Ferris wheel in Northern Europe, and from here you have a lovely view over Malmoe and Oresund.

Mojitos and music

In the northern part of the park, you’ll find Debaser with the most popular patio during the summer, and many popular clubs and live concerts. Cuba Café is just opposite Debaser, and here you can dance to Latin American music whilst enjoying a mojito. A larger outdoor stage is located by one of the grass plots where different popular artists often perform. You’ll also find Amiralen, with Malmoe’s largest dance floor, and Moriskan with its seven oriental crenels is available for rent for various parties and conferences.

Markets and movies

An annual event in the park is the children’s flea market. Here, the kids gather all of their old toys and trade them with others. Another is the Merkado market, where twenty-something local designers shows their work. You see everything from jewelry, hand printed bags and t-shirts, illustrations and organic clothing. There is also a harvest market in the fall.
The outdoor movie in the summer is another popular event. Bring a blanket and your picnic basket and see a movie free of charge!
