WE ARE VISITING MALMO, SWEDEN


Today I'll take you to Sweden. Enjoy the trip to Malmö.



Malmö, once one of Sweden’s prime industrial centres has gone from being a seaport to being one of the most exciting areas of Sweden. Sweden is now closer to the continent With the Oresund bridge connecting Malmö with Copenhagen, Sweden with Denmark and Scandinavia with the continent. In Malmö you´ll find a charming city centre, modern architecture, closeness to the countryside and a wide range of culture, music and sports.

Canals that were once roads for industry transportations are now a popular way to experience the city.
The City Sightseeing busses take you through Malmö easily and comfortably passing all the interesting sites of the city.

The Malmöhus castle is the oldest renaissance castle in the Nordic region.

In the Middle Ages Denmark’s coins were minted here. This was from where the west side of the city was protected and the shipping traffic on the southern part of Öresund was monitored. Since 1925 “Malmö Museer” has cared for the building and today it works as a museum.

The Oresund bridge is the link between Sweden and the continent.
The bridge is 16 km long and from the shoreline we are invited to a spectacular view of Oresund and our neighbour Denmark.

The Turning Torso is a skyscraper signed Santiago Calatrava.
It is the second highest residential building, an impressive building that took four years to complete. Inside there are different shops and the restaurant TorsoTwisted where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or have a nice meal.
