Charming City Of Malmo: An Insight

The third largest city in Sweden, Malmö is the capital of the county of Skåne and is one of Sweden’s most charming cities. Lying across the Öresund (The Sound) from Copenhagen in Denmark, Malmö grew primarily during the Middle Ages, and many of the city’s cobbled streets, parks, canals and quaint timbered houses date back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
Although it’s an important industrial centre (Malmö’s industries range from food processing to shipbuilding) and a major transport hub, Malmö has managed to retain much of its medieval charm. Its marketplaces and its streets are, to a large extent pedestrianised, and the city’s dotted with old buildings- churches, old houses, even a castle- which add to the feel of this being an old city.

If you’re coming to Sweden by ferry from Copenhagen, Malmö is likely to be the first port you’ll see- and what better way to start a tour of Sweden? It’s a warm, friendly city that will surely win your heart!
