Travelling to Malmö

Walking Around in Malmo

Malmo is a vibrant city that is rich in historical landmarks, modern architecture, natural sights, and cultural attractions. A walk through this coastal city is one of the best ways to explore. Begin your walk at the Stortorget Square, which contains the Malmö Rådhus built in 1546, and the iconic bronze sculpture of Karl X Gustav. Once the largest square in all of Scandinavia, this center has a lot to offer. Wander around and admire an ornamental fountain, a former palace, a well-preserved 19th-Century pharmacy, street artisans, and on a lucky day, a cultural festival. Just a short distance away is the Lilla Torg, a major attraction that is impossible to avoid. It's a popular meeting place full of bars, gastronomic spaces, and shops brimming with Swedish souvenirs. Make your next stop at the monumental Sankt Petri kyrka; a three-aisled Gothic church inaugurated in 1319. Next, head to Malmo castle, the cultural heart of the city. Built in 1434, it's the last Renaissance building standing in Scandinavia. You can learn some history in the castle's museum, examine exhibitions, and meet aquatic animals in the aquarium. Enjoy Scandinavian cuisine at Restaurang Wega before going for a leisurely walk at the beautiful and organic Slottsträdgården. With this plan, you are guaranteed a fantastic experience.
