The local experience
The two neighbouring squares of Malmö's old centre: Stortorget, from 1530, with the Renaissance town hall, and Lilla torg, surrounded by half-timbered houses that became restaurants.
Renaissance brick fortress, surrounded by a moat, built by the Danish king Christian III in the 1530s, which today houses Malmö's museums: history, art, natural sciences and an aquarium.
The 190-meter tower that twists 90 degrees from its base to its top, designed by Santiago Calatrava, and the Västra Hamnen neighborhood, built on the former shipyard, with a seaside promenade.
Malmö’s urban beach, with 2.5 km of sand and a pier leading to the 1898 bathhouse built on stilts in the sea, with wood-fired saunas and cold-water bathing year-round in front of the Øresund bridge.
The Malmö branch of Sweden’s museum of modern art, housed in a former 1900 power station with an orange perforated-sheet-metal annex, featuring modern and contemporary art exhibitions.
