Malmö is the country's third largest city, with a population of nearly 360,000. Along with Gothenburg, it is one of the main economic and cultural centers in southern Sweden. It is an almost obligatory point of passage for all those who, having crossed the Öresund strait and arriving from Denmark, come to discover Sweden. The construction of the Öresund Bridge in 2000, connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, has greatly increased this role. It is now possible to go from Denmark to Sweden without taking the ferry (for a price that remains roughly the same), which is a definite time-saver. The building itself is worth a visit because this curved bridge seems to spring from the sea on the Danish side since it begins with a tunnel in Copenhagen.In the heart of the city, in a quadrilateral of one kilometer on each side, next to the industrial harbor, the numerous pedestrian streets, the historical monuments, the hotels, restaurants and stores give this large modern city a certain warmth. In this area, buildings of recent architecture stand next to the romantic squares of Lilla Torg and Stortorget, home to the city hall and beautiful private hotels. The imperious St. Peter's Church and the Malmöhus fortress bear witness to the eventful history of a city that remained Danish until 1685. The Lilla Torg square adjacent to the main square, the small square, is always lively and has a lot of charm with its colorful houses, often half-timbered, dating from the 16th century, some of which have cafés.Between the castle-museum, the Ribban beach, the Turning Torso tower that you can admire from below while eating your picnic at the skate park, the choice of activities is vast; not to mention the modern museum, the multicultural market of Möllevångstorget and the charming and unavoidable Lilla Torg square... In any case, you won't be bored in Malmö. And if you want a change of scenery, a little trip to Copenhagen will do the trick!
