Cycling day trip from Malmo to Trelleborg

Get ready for a scenic ride from Malmö down to Trelleborg! Starting in Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, you’ll have plenty of urban buzz before cruising out into the open countryside. Malmö is famous for its modern vibes—don’t miss a glimpse of the Turning Torso skyscraper as you head south.

The ride is just under 38 km, mostly flat with a few gentle ups and downs—so nothing too challenging. About 40% of the route uses dedicated cycleways with lots of peaceful stretches along quiet roads and car-free paths. You’ll roll through a mix of paved and unpaved roads; be prepared for a few bits of gravel and rougher pavements along the way, but nothing a standard bike can’t handle.

When you roll into Trelleborg, you’ll find Sweden’s southernmost town—and the gateway to continental Europe, thanks to its busy ferry port. If you have time, check out the ancient Viking ring fortress, Trelleborgen! Overall, this route is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing day ride with plenty of Swedish charm and coastal scenery. Pack some snacks, bring a camera, and enjoy the ride!
