Frequently Asked Questions

A short distance from the centre, which is one of the strengths of this call: almost everything is walkable, from Renaissance squares to the contemporary waterfront. Malmö is Sweden’s third city, linked to Copenhagen by the Øresund bridge, eight kilometres of concrete from shore to shore.
At Stortorget, the great square laid out in the sixteenth century, watched over by the equestrian statue of Karl X Gustav and the gabled city hall. Just behind hides Lilla Torg, a pocket-sized cobbled square ringed with half-timbered houses from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, its terraces pressed together.
The oldest surviving Renaissance castle in Scandinavia, ten minutes’ walk west, surrounded by moats and parkland. Built in the sixteenth century by the king of Denmark — Scania was Danish then — it served as royal residence, fortress and prison before becoming the city’s main museum complex: history, art, aquarium and natural sciences.
A 190-metre residential tower whose structure rotates 90 degrees from base to top, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. It stands in Västra Hamnen, built on the former shipyard grounds, and serves as the emblem of the new city.
Contemporary architecture, clean canals and wooden promenades where residents dive straight into the strait as soon as the weather allows. From the esplanade the view reaches the Øresund bridge and, on a clear day, the Danish coast.
Yes, at Ribersborg beach facing the strait, with its stretch of sand and its bathhouse on stilts, the Kallbadhus. Sauna and a dip in the sea happen year-round there, winter included — Swedes consider this entirely normal.
Stortorget and Lilla Torg for the old heart, St Peter’s church with its painted medieval vaults, then Malmöhus and its parks. If time allows, walk on to Västra Hamnen for the Turning Torso and the waterfront. All of it on foot.
Yes: regional trains reach Copenhagen in about forty minutes from the central station, via the Øresund bridge and tunnel. Some passengers add a Danish capital to their Swedish day, but the return timing needs watching very closely — the ship will not wait.
Yes. Tour boats work the central canals, a peaceful way to grasp the geography of a city ringed by water since its Danish beginnings. It is also the answer for passengers who want to see the town without covering kilometres on foot.
On Lilla Torg, the favourite meeting place of Malmö residents: the terraces crowd together and outdoor heaters stretch the season well past summer. A coffee or a plate of herring among the half-timbered houses sums the place up.
