![]() ![]() Malmö: one of Sweden's most exciting cities by Andrew Regan
If you're visiting Malmo and you want to see the city's most interesting sights, why not visit Malmohus Castle? Located to the west of Malmo's old city, this building was first built in 1437 by Erik of Pomerania, before being inhabited by the kings of Denmark in the 1500s and used as a prison until 1914. Today, it is a history and art museum, as well as an aquarium and a terrarium that attracts a range of visitors. Additionally, when you're
in Malmo, make sure you visit the Mollevangstorget Square, located south
of the city centre and which plays host to an open-air market every weekend.
Malmo's newest landmark - the Turning Torso - is well worth a visit too.
Completed in 2005, Malmo's Turning Torso is, at 190m tall, the tallest
building in Scandinavia and is visible from almost any part of the city.
It even has a waterfront promenade and a state-of-the-art skate park.
Furthermore, since the 1970s Malmo has also played host to a diversity of musical scenes and talents. Malmo has a long history of rock, dance and dub music, and recent musicians to have played in the city include the likes of B.B. King, Morrissey and Australian signer-songwriter Nick Cave. If you're planning to visit Malmo, you'll find plenty of hotels in Malmo, from which you'll be able to enjoy all that this exciting city has to offer. Take a trip to Malmo for a Scandinavian city adventure with a difference - you won't be disappointed!
