Malmo Travel Guide

Sweden's southernmost port city, the twisting Turning Torso and the Oresund Bridge, old town and modern districts blended.

📍 Destination Overview

Malmo, Sweden's third-largest city at the southernmost tip, faces Copenhagen across the Öresund, linked by the 2000 bridge that makes it Sweden's gateway to continental Europe. Its landmark is the Turning Torso, a skyscraper twisting 90 degrees over the Western Harbour. Old-town squares and Malmo Castle recall centuries of shifting hands between Denmark and Sweden.
