The Secrets of
Malmö

Where Denmark ends and Sweden begins

For centuries, Malmö was Denmark's second city — a bustling herring port that minted Danish coins and built Scandinavia's oldest Renaissance castle. When Sweden seized it in 1658, the city nearly died. Its population plummeted to just 282 souls by 1730.

But Malmö reinvented itself — first through industry, then through sheer audacity. Today, the Turning Torso twists 190 meters above a harbor that once built warships, and the Öresund Bridge stitches two nations together across the sea. This is a city that refuses to stay in one era.
