Malmö, however you want it.

Welcome to Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city in the south of the country! It's a vibrant and creative mini-metropolis that symbolizes cross-border diversity and environmental sustainability. Once an industrial city, Malmö is now a knowledge hub, attracting intellectuals and curious minds from all over the world. The city boasts Scandinavia's oldest renaissance castle, which is located near the hip new sustainable district of Västra Hamnen. Malmö has hosted several international events, including the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, the World Junior Hockey Championship 2014, and the IIHF World Championships 2015. Malmö's history is fascinating, as it was founded in the 1300s and was under Danish crown until 1658. The city struggled with declining shipbuilding industries in the early 1970s, leading to emigration and a loss of self-confidence. However, in recent years, Malmö has undergone a rejuvenation and revitalization, with the Öresund Bridge reconnecting the city with Denmark and the construction of Europe's tallest apartment block, Turning Torso. Parks are a natural element in Malmö, with Kungsparken, Slottsparken, and Pildammsparken offering beautiful green spaces for picnics and leisurely walks. Möllevångstorget is a lively square with an open market and the densest concentration of eateries in the city.
