Cycling day trip from Trelleborg to Malmo

Here’s a great ride from Trelleborg up to Malmö, covering just under 38 km along the southern Swedish coast. You’ll start in Trelleborg, Sweden’s southernmost town, known for its Viking ring fortress and charming harbor vibe. The route is mostly flat, so it’s perfect if you want a scenic ride without big climbs—expect only about 54 meters of ascent.

You’ll spend a good chunk on cycleways and quiet roads, weaving through coastal views, rural stretches, and small villages. While most of the route is on paved paths and asphalt, do watch out for some sections—about 9%—that venture onto gravel or unpaved surfaces. It’s a lovely way to soak in Skåne's peaceful countryside.

As you approach Malmö, the landscape transforms into a more urban scene. Malmö itself is famous for its mix of historic and modern architecture (don’t miss the Turning Torso skyscraper!) and expansive parks. Perfect excuse to end your ride with a fika in one of the city’s cozy cafes.
