Kungsparken
Kungsparken (The King's Park) is Malmö's oldest park, dating back to the mid-1800s. No matter what time of the year you walk through this lush park, you will enjoy a little nature break in an otherwise busy city.
Particularly in the fall season when the leaves turn warmly yellow and orange, it wraps you in perfectly in the crisp air. But also the green summers are amazing, hearing the water flushing from fountains and birds singing in the tree crowns. The winters are cool and peaceful, with reflections of skinny, dark trees in the park's lakes.
