Malmo Auto Pilot

short anti-tourist guide and map

Why?

Malmo is easily accessible by train from Copenhagen, trains go every half an hour.

First of all, food is cheaper and better than in Copenhagen. Taxis are cheaper as well, and even though booze in swedish shops is more expensive it still works out cheaper to go on the piss in Malmo. On top of that Malmo is strange and cozy.

This post contains short info useful for an authentic night out in Malmo.

Instead of getting out at the Malmo Central Station (Malmo C) as an average tourist would do, step off at Triangeln and start exploring Malmo from there. Please see the map in the end of this post. It is specialy designed for you.

 From Triangeln you may proceed to Mollevangstorget where many decent drinking and eating establishments are located. Amongst all of them the best one to eat would be Mollan with friendly staff (you can ask them about furter going outs), reasonable prices and good food as well as a cozy atmosphere.

Belle Epoque - good food, a bit posher than Mollan. Jetz Bar next doors - Berlin Style Vodka Bar. Smart music. Say hello to Jens - he is a crazy mixilogist! Try out anything he recommends with herbs and berries: and there will be no hangover the next day. I am serious.

Next noteworthy place to stop is Metro, which is renowned for it's DJ's.
Metro is homelike.

 Situated in front of Metro, indian restaurant Sapla is here not for indian food, but for cheaper booze. One may drop by for a quick budget drink and run back into tidy hipsterfriendly Metro.

 After that you may also go to Debaser - free entry before 10PM. There's a a tiny round square with sound&light design on the way, one of the sample of Malmoe's cute pride and dignity.

Turn left, follow the wall with graffity and here's Debaser

 There are good bands playing from time to time. If you smoke, you will enjoy the terrace with a view on Folkets Park and a great big rose freaking flower. Otherwise Debaser can be quite lame for a long stay, so after few drinks you can also totter to the club called Babel http://babelmalmo.se/ It is 2 minutes walk from Debaser.

A relevant stopover for those who appreciate beer would be På Besok which has an extensive selection of it at a moderate price. På Besok is sort of a hand-me-down arty place with East Berlin hint, youthful slightly left-wing comradely clientele, mysterious art exhibitions and odd events. It is by no means a tourist trap and I would, with no doubt, recommend it.

Another curious venue in the area is a club "Kontrapunkt". To be able to go inside the online registration is needed.

 Inspite of having an innuendo of illegality Kontrapunkt is a sane establishment with nothing dodgy going on, so I suppose, the registration part exists for making customers feel special and for tax reasons.

Check Kontrapunkt online as the theme of events there is utterly unpredictable.
