Malmö

EUROPE · BRIDGE CITY

Sweden with a Danish accent — a twisting tower, canal parks, falafel on every corner and Copenhagen 35 minutes away.

The plan

Gamla Väster

The old west quarter's pastel lanes and courtyard cafés.

Turning Torso & Västra Hamnen

Calatrava's twisted tower over a rebuilt harbour with a swimming deck.

Falafel crawl

Malmö claims Sweden's best falafel — a genuine local rivalry, cheap to research.

Ribersborg cold bath house

An open-air sauna on a pier, then the Öresund. Year-round.

Copenhagen for the day

35 minutes over the bridge — two countries, one trip.

Fly into

Copenhagen (CPH) — then a 20-minute train over the bridge; Malmö Airport (MMX) serves a few routes.

From the airport

Trains run from CPH's terminal straight to Malmö Central.

Getting around

Flat and bike-mad — rent one. Trains and buses cover the rest.
