The Oresund Bridge connects Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden so I hopped on the train this morning in Copenhagen, rode across the bridge and landed in the center of Malmo in less than 30 minutes. I asked a woman for directions after getting off the train and instead of pointing me to the right street, she rode her bike with me to exactly where I was going! She also provided me with a list of things to do and places to eat while in town. Started my weekend getaway with a workout at Crossfit Malmo. The guy I met on the street walking into the building, my partner during the Team WOD and the coach were beyond incredible! I have already told Crossfit Malmo that they are going to have to help me find someone that will rent a room, a couch or a tiny spot on the floor to me on the weekends because I will definitely be going back for more! After my workout, I got on my bike and rode around to all the tourist attractions in Malmo. I visited Stortorget (City Square), Lilla Torg (restaurants and shopping), Malmo City Hall, St Peter’s Church, Malmohus Castle, the Turning Torso (tallest building in Scandinavia) and Kungsparken (park). Pictures below.
