Five Date Ideas In Malmö

Road Map To A First Date In Malmö

A first date is always filled with nerves, with the main goal being to get to know each other and determine compatibility. What better way to achieve this than going for a walk! If you enjoy nature and exercise, a walk through Malmö is a great way to connect. It’s a cost-effective option, allowing you to move around and explore all that Malmö has to offer.

Malmö boasts an abundance of parks and charming cafés lining the streets. Consider meeting up at the central station in Malmö, a familiar location for both newcomers and veterans. Take a stroll towards Kungsparken and enjoy a sunny day in the park. There are people milling about, providing ample opportunities for conversation topics. Head to Slottsträdgårdens café for a “fika” and either sit down and relax or continue your walk through the gardens surrounding the café.

Continue your walk towards Trianglen, visit stores along the way, and talk about anything that comes to mind. Once you reach Trianglen, you can head over to ICA, grab some food from the salad bar, and proceed to Pildamsparken. Pildamsparken is a massive park with lots to see and explore, offering a romantic setting for a bench-picnic with views over the pond and plenty of paths to get lost in together.

A Date for Those Who Want to Test Relationship Limits

For those seeking a challenge for their relationship, testing their strength and ability to work together, this date is perfect. It’s an activity and dinner in Malmö that might lead to a little argument or leave you stronger than ever. But jokes aside, engaging in an activity with your partner is an excellent way to build a stronger connection and feel like you can take on anything together.

You can choose to start your date with the activity or vice versa; the order is entirely up to you. For the sake of this article, let’s start with the activity.

Escape Room! There are a few places in Malmö where you can enjoy this activity. In an escape room scenario, you and your partner must figure things out and solve a puzzle to escape the room. It can be quite challenging, testing your patience with each other and requiring effective communication and teamwork. Two popular places in Malmö are ‘The Alley,’ close to Trianglen, and ‘Sherlocked,’ near the central station. You can choose from different scenarios and difficulty levels, with activities ranging from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the scenario and difficulty.

For dinner, conveniently located near both escape rooms, there’s a restaurant called Benne. They specialize in pasta dishes and offer a great deal of two meals and a bottle of wine, either red or white, for 250:-. If you’re looking to try a new place after your activity, Benne is the perfect spot for romance. Dinner after an escape room is an ideal way to unwind and discuss your shared experience.

A Date to Share Silence and Laughter

This one is for those who do not like to chat endlessly, for those who think a spark can pass without many words and the movie freaks. With this you get to check whether the other can compromise between movie genres and whether they will judge you for being a pop culture victim. Why not opt for a weird movie like ‘Poor Things’ with Emma Stone to have many exciting things to discuss? Hands touching in the popcorn basket or discovering the other’s hidden glances in your direction make for a romantic mood.

After having spent a cozy time in the cinema, it is time to wake you back up and get the conversations going. The movie makes for an easy talking subject. ‘Panora’ is a good cinema option and makes you end up in Möllan with many fun bars around. You can go play pool in ‘Interpool’ Malmö that makes for a relaxed spot during the week. Whether you are a pool pro or disaster, the game will make you share some laughs. If you would rather talk and just get to know each other, you can go watch people watching and enjoy Malmö student life in ‘V.E.D’.

A Date for Those Who Want to Impress

Who doesn’t like to present themselves as cultured? Don’t forget to pull out your best turtleneck for a museum date.
