It feels a little unfair to lump huge swathes of Malmö‘s eastern extent into one category, and our doing so should not be taken to imply that “it’s all the same”. Far from it, in fact: between the old inner ring road and the southernmost end of the E6 highway can be found a surprising jumble of housing estates and “suburbs” from the late C20th; formerly peripheral villages long since absorbed into the expanding city; patches of parkland; strips of orderly allotments, kolonilotter and kitchen gardens; and other oddities (such as the Jägersro racetrack, still an important venue for Swedish equestrian sports).
That said, there’s not much here in touristic terms—so while you should feel free to wander around (or follow the extensive network of bike lanes and see where you end up), if it’s excitement you seek, you might want to head back in the direction of gamla staden. The big draw of this area for non-residents is probably the permaculture and kitchen-gardening scene, which attracts aspiring growers from all over Skåne and beyond; the beating heart of the movement is Botildenborg, and if you’ve only got the time to see one place out here, that’s probably your best bet.
