Malmöhus Slott (Malmö Castle)
Best time to visit
Morning or late afternoon visits avoid school groups and tour buses, and provide the best soft light for photos. Late spring and early autumn offer mild weather and blooming grounds around the moat.
Budget tips
Buy the Malmö Museer combined ticket to save when also visiting the aquarium and temporary exhibitions; children and youths often have free or reduced entry, and the museum posts occasional free-entry evenings—check the official Malmö Museer site for current rates and dates.

About
快速信息: Thick stone walls and quiet towers give a tangible sense of defence and everyday life; you can imagine cannons in the courtyard and cooking smells from the kitchens. The museum collections range from marine biology to art and natural history, so a tour can take you from aquariums to bat roosts in under an hour.
亮点: Up in a tower room you feel the wind through narrow windows, and the sunbeams paint the stone vaults in gold so that the room almost feels like a scene from a film. Behind a leaden door there are more than three cellar vaults where echoes of footsteps and damp lime sometimes give you the chills, and the guards' names Roger or Anna appear in old stories.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobblestones and narrow staircases are common inside and around the ramparts.
- Head to the southern moat and inner courtyard for the best photo angles of the castle reflected in the water.
- Skip crowded mid-day weekends by arriving right at opening or after 16:00 on weekdays to experience galleries more quietly.
- Check the temporary exhibitions schedule on the museum website before you go, so you do not miss special displays or guided tours.
