Best things to do in Malmo
Find out more about those top places in Malmo
Situated at the Swedish end of the vast Öresund Bridge, which connects the city directly to Copenhagen, Malmo is for most travelers a gateway to Sweden. While most pass onward through the country’s third largest city to Stockholm and Gothenburg, those that linger long enough find a stylish city packed with hidden gems. Malmo is centered on the picture-perfect Gamla Staden, a Germanic old town peppered with spectacular Hanseatic architecture and Lutheran church spires all connected via a ramshackle assortment of cobbled lanes. Beyond the old town, Malmo is Sweden’s grittiest city – a portside metropolis home to more than 150 different nationalities. This vibrancy is best experienced in the Möllenvångstorget district, which combines cutting-edge art with exotic neighborhood eateries.
