Folkets Park, founded in 1896 by the Swedish labour movement, is considered the first people's park in the world and a symbol of popular culture in Malmö. Today it is a vibrant green space with working-class history, gardens and cultural events that reflect the city's diversity.

The best time is during the summer (June-August), when there are festivals, open-air concerts and the weather is ideal for enjoying the gardens. Avoid rainy days in winter, but weekend mornings are perfect for a quiet stroll.
