10 Best Things to Do This Winter in Malmö

Different animal species, cultural and natural history collections, archeology and geology are just some of the things you can learn more about at the NTNU Science Museum, which is one of the country's university museums. In addition to interesting and exciting exhibitions, the museum also conducts research and management.

There is plenty to explore here for both young and old, but the medieval town is particularly popular.

The museum's central location makes it an easy place to visit, and if you are staying in the city centre, all you need to do is walk.

If you're looking for a nice and easy hill that is suitable for beginners and families, you've come to the right place.

Flavors Food Market sells fresh products and ready-made food in large, spacious premises at Oslo Central Station.

Melkeviken is a bathing place by the Fanafjord south of Bergen city centre, with large grassy neighborhoods and a long beach. The bay is protected in the innermost part of the fjord arm, and with forests on all sides, it is warm and pleasant. The area benefits from toilet facilities, picnic tables, benches and diving boards. The beach is shallow so it's easy to get out in the water, but a slightly rocky bottom means that those with sensitive feet should bring bathing shoes.

There are parking options near the beach, but capacity is limited and fills up quickly when the sun is out on public vacations. There is good hiking terrain in the immediate vicinity in Hordnesskogen, Hordamuseet and Stend gardsbutikk, which can be fun places to visit for families who want to fill the whole day with activities.

If you head out to Væresholmen on an evening when the conditions are right for the northern lights, you can look forward to a colorful sky in beautiful surroundings. This popular islet and bathing area is located on Ranheim, along Ladestien, and you can get there on foot, by bike, by automobile and by public transportation.

Everyone is welcome here and it is wheelchair accessible. After an invigorating dip in the cold salt water, put on some warm clothes, pour yourself a hot drink and lie down on the grass to wait for the light show to begin in the sky.

Marinen is an old defense facility on the Nidelven, which together with General von Hüth's bastion and Bastion Prince Carl was built to protect the city from attack from the sea. Most of the facility has gradually been lost, and now there are only a few buildings left.

Today, Marinen is used as a park and outdoor area, which offers large, green lawns to sit or run about on. It's a favorite haunt with the locals, frequented by people of all ages. If you come here in summer, do as the Trondheimers do and enjoy a picnic, play ball games or just relax in the sun. During the summer months, both festivals and concerts are held here, many of which are worth attending.

It takes time to explore all that Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum has to offer, as this fascinating open-air museum comprises several historical buildings spread over a large area. The museum is split into a village part and a city part, and also encompasses the ruins of the castle that King Sverre built many hundreds of years ago.

Some of the highlights here include the Haltdalen Stave Church from the Middle Ages and the intricate main exhibition on everyday life and society through the ages.
