About Malmo, Sweden

Malmö is a vibrant, multicultural Swedish city that has reinvented itself from an industrial port into a hub of sustainable architecture and culinary innovation. The Turning Torso—Scandinavia\'s tallest building at 190 meters—twists dramatically on the Western Harbour waterfront, symbolizing the city\'s transformation. The medieval old town (Gamla Staden) around Stortorget square features cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the 15th-century St. Peter\'s Church.

Malmö offers a different vibe from Copenhagen—more relaxed, more affordable, and with a thriving Middle Eastern food scene alongside traditional Swedish fare. Möllevångstorget square has one of Sweden\'s best outdoor markets. Malmö Castle (Malmöhus), a 16th-century fortress, houses several museums including art, natural history, and a maritime museum with a submarine. The city is remarkably bike-friendly with flat terrain and dedicated cycling paths throughout.
