Audio Guide of Ribersborg Beach

Ribersborg Beach is a public beach, so it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no time restrictions. You can easily get there by bus from central Malmö (routes 1, 3, or 4) or enjoy a pleasant bike ride. The exact address is Regementsgatan 1, 217 48 Malmö, Sweden. To plan your route, you can check Skånetrafiken.

Good news! Ribersborg Beach is a public beach, and access is completely free for all visitors. There is no admission fee to enjoy its sand, views, and facilities, except if you rent specific services such as sun loungers or use the cold bath house.

To fully enjoy Ribersborg Beach, we recommend setting aside at least 2 to 3 hours. This will give you time to walk along the beach, perhaps take a swim, enjoy the views of the Øresund Bridge, and even relax in one of the green areas. If you decide to use the famous Ribersborg Kallbadhus cold bath house, your visit could extend to 3 to 4 hours.

Ribersborg Beach, affectionately called 'Ribban' by locals, is more than a beach; it is a vital green and recreational space for Malmö. Its most iconic feature is the Ribersborg Kallbadhus, a wooden cold bath house with centuries of tradition that offers saunas and the chance to immerse yourself in the Baltic Sea, even in winter. It represents an essential part of Swedish culture centered on well-being and connection with nature.

The best time to visit Ribersborg Beach for a beach experience is from June to August, when the weather is warm and you can enjoy the sun and swimming. However, for a quieter experience and beautiful sunsets, late afternoon, especially in summer, is ideal. If you are looking for the Swedish cold-bathing experience, any time of year is good, and winter is especially popular.

Generally, yes. Most of Ribersborg Beach has paved paths that make access easier for wheelchairs and strollers. There are ramps leading to some beach areas, and the cold bath house usually also provides adapted access. We recommend checking the accessibility section on the City of Malmö website for the most up-to-date information.

Malmö has plenty to offer near Ribban! Within a short distance, you can explore the striking Turning Torso, the charming Western Harbour district, Malmö Museums (including Malmö Castle), and the beautiful Kungsparken.

Bring a towel and sunscreen if you are visiting in summer. If you decide to try the cold bath house, remember that they usually charge a small admission fee (around 75 SEK, with discounts for students and seniors), so bring cash or a card. For an unforgettable experience, stay until sunset to watch the sun go down over the Baltic Sea and the Øresund Bridge. And do not forget your camera, the views are spectacular!
