Malmö – Sweden´s great gateway to the Continent
Sweden´s third city Malmö has always been characterized by a somewhat different, more ”continental” atmosphere compared with the country´s other larger towns. For much of its long history, Malmö was a Danish city. An ancient trade hub and agricultural centre, Malmö became an important industrial city during the nineteenth century, with the commercial port and shipyards influencing the city´s temperament and seafront appearance.

| Over the past decade, Malmö has undergone a most dramatic post-industrial tranformation. The cosmopolitan city has ”reclaimed” the seafront, where entire new city districts full of interesting modern architecture and bustling street life have been constructed. Of course, another radical change has been the mighty Öresund Bridge, opened in 2000, which connects Malmö with Denmark´s capital Copenhagen, just twenty minutes away, forming a single bi-national metropolitan area, one of the most expansive, exciting and energetic in Northern Europe.

Öresund Bridge | Within less than one hour, visitors can reach not only two major metropolises, but also a large number of historical and picturesque towns and villages, beautiful beaches and recreation areas, impressive castles and manor houses, idyllic retreats and magnificent scenery, making the so-called Öresund region an extremely attractive and diverse choice for a city break or a longer vacation. Still, downtown Malmö remains a small, friendly and pleasant city core where almost everything is located within easy walking distance.
