Practical Tips for Visiting Malmö with a Dog

Malmö is one of the easiest cities in northern Europe for an unhurried visit with a dog: free public transport for pets, dense network of off-leash dog parks, a coastal dog beach open year-round and English spoken almost universally. Two practical points to know before arrival: Sweden's general leash-law season (1 March–20 August) for forests and fields, and the city's strict 15 March–30 September swimming ban for dogs on standard beaches.
