Eat, drink, and sleep near Swedbank Stadion

Swedbank Stadion is located in a residential area and is surrounded by other sports facilities, including Malmö's old stadium that is still in use for athletics events. While Pildammsparken is pleasant on a summer's afternoon, there is little else around the stadium, and eating and drinking is best done in Malmö's city centre.

If you want to stay as close to the Swedbank Stadium as possible, Hotel Mercure Malmö is a good choice. It has high reviews and is located only a few minutes walking away from the stadium. The cheaper Bosses Gästvåningar hostel is also very close, but there are plenty of alternatives in Malmö's city center.

The official website of Malmö FF, Malmötown.com, is an official visitor site for the city of Malmö. Skanetrafiken.se is a public transport information website for the wider Malmö area. Resplanerare.resrobot.se is a public transport journey planner. It is a square surrounded by bars that serve the blues and whites of many Malmo fans. The place we were at was in the sun, had a menu for match day, and was only a 20 minute walk from Swedbank. Ignore any Irish bar suggestions. The only place for an Irish theme bar is Dublin, and even that might be pushing it.

A really loud and nice support throughout the game. Good election of food and drinks inside but there is little to do outside the stadium so it might be wiser to stay in the city centre and arrive just before kick-off.
