Excursión ciclista de un día de Malmö a Ystad

This is a classic coastal ride from Malmö to Ystad—about 86 km of largely flat terrain, perfect for a relaxed, day-long cycling adventure. You’ll start in Malmö, a vibrant city known for its iconic Turning Torso skyscraper and lively waterfront. The route is mostly paved (over half is asphalt), and you’ll be rolling on designated paths and quiet roads for most of the journey, so it’s a comfortable ride even if you’re not a hardcore cyclist.

You’ll pass through charming southern Swedish countryside, tiny villages, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the Baltic Sea along the way. As you approach Ystad, smile: this picturesque town is famous for its well-preserved medieval streets, half-timbered houses, and as the setting for Henning Mankell’s Wallander detective novels.

With only about 100 meters of gentle ascent and descent, plus a mix of surfaces to keep things interesting, this route is ideal for a scenic escape. Don’t forget to try a fika at a café in Ystad before catching the train back—or just rest up by the beach!
