Visit Malmö: Our guide to the Melodifestivalen and Eurovision host city

We visited Malmö, Sweden for Melodifestivalen 2016 and fell in love. In our travel guide we go behind-the-scenes in Malmö Arena; visit some gorgeous Malmö hotels and restaurants; hit up the Town Hall for the Melfest Welcome Party; hang out in the Western Harbour; get tips from Mello stars Charlotte Perrelli, Krista Siegfrids, David Lindgren and Christer Björkman; and more. Wiktoria calls Malmö a "beautiful big town" - and she's right!

Time for a part 2 :)

[@PatrickMooney]

Great piece - brings back memories from 2013. Well done.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank you Patrick!

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

+Patrick Mooney Thank you so much Patrick! Glad you also had a nice time in Malmö!

[@vebooboonadella4281]

YASSSSS! I went to Malmo in 2013 and I was a little skeptical I'd have fun, but I LOVED IT. That place Hipp you mention is a good night out. Also I flew to Copenhagen for only £39 on EasyJet and then took the train over the bridge, so it was easy like you say. Really recommend it!

[@winthropgrays4279]

+Vebooboo Nadella £39?! Um, DONE. I'm there. And i was just on Skyscanner and there are many tickets like that!!!

[@lisamalvina979]

As a swede spending my days in Malmö I really enjoyed this blog. You really presented the city in a great light and you showed what's really great about it. But I had the shock of my life when I recognised the two dancing girls in the beginning as my classmates of 9 years. Out of everyone in the entire world, it was those two. I wasn't even looking for videos about Sweden, just Eurovision, and I'm still baffled.

[@ivanbee]

I just love how you are saying Isa

[@Wiwibloggs]

+John Bee Records haha, thanks! feeling that passion!

[@winthropgrays4279]

(1) LOL that you have a giant poster of Jessica Andersson (2) LOL that your cat is visible in the opening frame (3) I really want to go to Malmooooo. Looks so cute!!! I didn't realise it had old buildings like that - only thought of Turning Torso before. PS The Eurovision butterfly remains my favourite logo ever.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Haha. Yes, William loves Jessica!

[@gustavandersson260]

That was enlightening. Even though I'm a swede I didn't know Malmö was that beautiful and interesting, thanks for sharing your experience ;)

[@Wiwibloggs]

+Gustav Andersson You are so welcome! Hope to see more of Sweden in the future.

[@SuperRuud123]

Loved this William. Had to laugh a lot, too! Great addition to the many eurovision related video's!!

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

+EuRuvision Thank you so much! It's easy to have a laugh and smile in Malmö - super fun place. This was probably my favourite heat or national selection trip ever. Great show, great people, easy, convenient!

[@SuperRuud123]

+William Lee Adams I really wanna go now! :) Hope to take my first trip to Sweden this year!

[@Wiwibloggs]

+EuRuvision We hope you make it out there!

[@BogdanHonciuc]

I am beating myself up for not visiting Malmö when I was in Copehagen in 2014! Can't wait to visit it this summer with my boyfriend! YASSS!

[@Wiwibloggs]

+Bogdan Honciuc You'll love it! So much to do, lots of good food. I keep going on about this, but the waterfront is so nice. You can walk the whole stretch, look at the bridge, stop at some cafés....in the summer it's gorgeous.

[@BenCG]

More videos like this please guys! Not necessarily just Sweden either! ;)

[@Wiwibloggs]

+Ben CG Thanks Ben! We hope to do more!

[@mrbitbot]

thumbs up for the guy narrating his

[@deniznl3397]

Pff I am really sick. This makes me happy, thanks!

[@Wiwibloggs]

+Deniz NL Feel better Deniz!

[@deniznl3397]

***** Oh thank you. I am almost better.

[@vebooboonadella4281]

PS I love Wiktoria! She seems so sweet!

[@Wiwibloggs]

She's so genuine. Really hope she wins next week!

[@TheDopoqob]

Why take the train past Malmö Arena to the Centralstation and then back to Malmö Arena?

[@Wiwibloggs]

We had to drop our bags off at our hotel :-)

[@MrDado999]

Fabulous 👅

[@Wiwibloggs]

+MrDado999 Thanks Mr Dado! Really want to go back in the summer

[@stars_aligning]

Can the UK take notes please thanks

[@WilliamLeeAdams]

+Sister Phan Howlter SVT make it so easy to get coverage. Also, as for the city itself, soooo clean. Being a town helps, but still - they clearly take pride in their streets, etc.

[@stars_aligning]

+William Lee Adams it looks absolutely gorgeous compared to the streets of London.

[@sabmis2658]

Is this video old?

[@Wiwibloggs]

Filmed the weekend of February 13, 2016. But it took time to edit it together.

[@sabmis2658]

ah ok. Good video btw!

[@hamstathps]

Nice video, copenhagen is nicer though.

[@Wiwibloggs]

+hamstathps I was surprised how connected Copenhagen and Malmö are - from accents to cuisine to trains!
