- Malmo Travel Guide & City Information
Malmo is a modern city in the south of Sweden. In the process of modernization, from industrial town to knowlegde trown, the town has lost most of its old charm. It is the third of Swedens towns in size and with a population of 255,000 inhabitants, has a modern and continental atmosphere. A 35 minutes short trip by train takes you to Copenhagen, over the newly build Oresunds brigde (expansion brigde). The train can also take you to the boat for Bornholm or Lübeck.
The major sight in Malmo is without a shadow of a doubt the Malmohus, the old citycastle which houses a series of museums. Otherwise try the Form and Design Center or the Rooseum, they have good collections of modern art. Furthermore you can find an architectural housing exhibition area (from the exhibition Bo01) on the westharbour. New ideas for living.
