I do like Zara but this is not their best store. It is however the only one in central Malmö. The…read morelocation is on the main shopping street where they have four floors. The two first floors have women's clothes, then one floor for children and the top floor for men. Despite it being big I rarely find things for myself here so not sure if the selection is slightly different here. There are also only escalators going up so a bit annoying that there are only stairs going down.

what's a trip to malmö without visiting ikea? this location is a bit out of the central city but…read moreeasily accessible by bus. huge store with furniture and everything you know from ikea. there is also a large food court (everyone's favorite part!) with very affordable prices. i got the swedish meatballs and swapped the potatoes for french fries. i also got a very big slice of carrot cake! interesting to see the different options at ikea in sweden vs. the ones back in the US

A nice ikea. As I have been remodelling my house i've been…read moreback and forth to this place on various days of the week and have noticed a few neat perks: - On-site Orthopedists in the bed section (not every visit) - Kitchen-remodeeling section with ca 10-20 computers and several staff to help you out selecting from the complex module system. Ikea Malmö is located in a big-box retail area with other hardware stores, furniture store, media etc.

Hipster ahoy! This is THE place to shop for clothing, I suppose…read more I ain't no hipster, but I could imagine that they would be attracted like magnets to this place. It's a vintage (isn't that what you call 2nd hand shop these days?) clothing shop full of pretty cool stuff. Although I usually call my style classic (or if you want to insult me - preppy), I almost walked out of here with a beautiful pair of maroon-coloured ankle boots. That magnetic, yes. They have tons of cool men's wear and pretty dresses for the ladies. I feel like this shop is curated in such way that it appeals to the eyes, even though you don't have a single drop of hipster in you (points to self - again). But take chances, come here and see for yourself. Although I walked out empty handed from here (In the end I could resist the temptation of the ankle boots), I feel that I could recommend this place for many of my friends!

My Swedish friend is a DJ and wanted to show me some cool record shops in his neighborhood of…read moreMalmö. This was the first shop he brought me to and it was really cool. It was nice to see the "record shop culture" is truly universal. The owners couldn't have been any cooler, and man do they know their stuff. Even if you may not be a fan or follower of a certain type of music, a record store owner will still know all about it. As soon as we came in and did our introductions, the owner (knowing my friend is a hip hop DJ) pulls out a record he just got in, and played a "break" for him. My friend is a pro, yet he had never heard this break before. And that is the beauty of the record shop. You can listen to music for decades, and yet there will always be something you don't know about. Whether you dig for it yourself, or the shop owner will bust something out to show you- the finding of a new gem is an amazing feeling, and what keeps you digging for more, never ending. This shop had a wide range of genres, not to mention an impressive amount of music, for the size of the store. It was broken down into three rooms. There was also a very nice selection of 45s (7") as well. Had I not been moving on to Denmark and Russia after Sweden, I would have walked out of there with a huge stack of records. Another surprise I saw was a good amount of cassette tapes, which for good or bad is starting to make a come back as well. I can't wait to get back to this shop again, so I can have a proper dig, and be able to bring some of it home.

I love this shop…read more ...and yes I am a big sucker for design stuff. This shop sells some of the most creative things I have ever seen, those things that fall into category of "you don't need but might want". There are so many cute stuff around and they're all quite affordable (it's in Swedish kroner, what else are you waiting for??) Every time I hang out in Malmö (when not working), I never pass up the opportunity to get in the shop and check what they have. It's located right there on the shopping street as well, so visible that you won't miss it. If you're into design stuff for your home and looking for "alternative" than the danish design stuff that everyone seems to have in their home, this might be the place for you to check out.

Designtorget is a home interior/design chain that sells a lot of small things that may be useful…read moreand/or fun. They started out being a bit unique but these days the products found here can be found in many other places as well. The prices are also often slightly inflated but that said it is still a fun place to browse around and occasionally one will find some good things here. This specific one is centrally located in Malmo but still fairly easy to miss since it is not on the main shopping street (on side street by the canal). The space is slightly smaller than many other outlets but they still managed to cram a lot of stuff in here.

I was able to pick up some great finds. I didn't like though that many boxsets and other items were stacked behind the counter, making it very hard to see what they had in stock.

Ugh, I keep getting lost in here! It's an all right mall, but either badly laid out or else…read moredesigned according to plan; to keep you trapped in here and shopping forever! It is mostly made up of clothing chains but there are some good specialty shops (also chains) in between like Webhallen, Clas Ohlson, and Lagerhaus. There is even a small pet store (more like a kiosk) in case you forgot to get the cat's food and you're on the way home. Though most of the building is boring, there is a beautiful wall of plants next to L'Occitane. If only there was more of that! It is right next to the train station, the bathrooms are clean (and unisex), and there are over 15 places to eat so it's not the worst place to make a pit stop.

This mall has been fairly depressing as long as I can recall. It is one of these malls that can…read moremanage to feel both deserted and crowded at the same time as it is dark and has fairly narrow passages. I actually thought it would just self die when more and more stores started shutting down and the shopping centers outside the city grew stronger. The turnaround came with the new station at triangeln. It also meant that this mall got a much needed renovation so part if it now looks modern and airy. That has to some extent revitalized it but the selection of stores is still the normal stuff you will find in most Swedish malls so a it boring. A few new food places have also opened up but also there very little excites, still it is a vast improvement compared to what it was.
