Overview

Malmo, Sweden Cruise Port

Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city, is a dynamic and increasingly popular cruise destination known for its striking blend of historic charm, innovative modern architecture, and a strong commitment to sustainability. Located in the southernmost province of Scania, Malmö sits directly across the Øresund Strait from Copenhagen, Denmark, connected by the iconic Øresund Bridge. This strategic position has fostered a cosmopolitan atmosphere, with influences from across Europe and beyond.

Once an industrial hub, Malmö has undergone a remarkable transformation into a vibrant cultural and design center. Visitors can explore a well-preserved Old Town with its cobblestone squares and medieval buildings, marvel at cutting-edge skyscrapers, relax in abundant green parks, and savor a diverse culinary scene. Malmö offers a fresh perspective on Scandinavian urban life, balancing its rich historical narrative with a forward-thinking, eco-conscious ethos.

Top Things to Do in Malmo, Sweden

Admire the Turning Torso

Head to the Western Harbor (Västra Hamnen) to marvel at the Turning Torso, Scandinavia's tallest skyscraper. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this iconic twisted residential building is a stunning example of modern architecture and a symbol of Malmö's innovative spirit.

Tip: The best views of the Turning Torso are from the Western Harbor promenade or Ribersborg Beach, where you can also see the Øresund Bridge in the distance.

Explore Malmö Castle (Malmöhus Slott) and its Museums

Visit Malmö Castle (Malmöhus Slott), Scandinavia's oldest surviving Renaissance castle. Originally built in the 16th century, it now houses several museums under the umbrella of Malmö Museer, including the City Museum, the Art Museum, and the Natural History Museum, providing diverse insights into local history and culture.

Tip: The surrounding Slottsparken (Castle Park) is a beautiful area for a leisurely stroll, with gardens, lakes, and sculptures.

Wander Through Lilla Torg and Stortorget

Immerse yourself in Malmö's charming Old Town by exploring its two main squares: Lilla Torg (Little Square) and Stortorget (Big Square). Lilla Torg is known for its picturesque half-timbered houses, outdoor cafes, and vibrant atmosphere, while Stortorget features the impressive City Hall (Rådhuset) and a statue of King Karl X Gustav.

Tip: Lilla Torg is the perfect spot to experience "fika," the traditional Swedish coffee break, with a pastry from one of the many cafes.

Visit St. Peter's Church (Sankt Petri Kyrka)

Discover St. Peter's Church (Sankt Petri Kyrka), Malmö's oldest building. This impressive 14th-century brick Gothic church boasts soaring columns, beautiful altarpieces, and remnants of medieval murals, offering a glimpse into the city's religious and architectural heritage.

Tip: Take note of the intricate details inside the church, including the grand altarpiece, one of the largest in the Nordic countries.

Stroll Along the Western Harbor Promenade and See the Øresund Bridge

Enjoy a leisurely walk along the Western Harbor Promenade, a modern waterfront area that offers fantastic views of the Øresund Bridge, the impressive structure connecting Sweden to Denmark. This area is also known for its contemporary architecture and vibrant urban spaces.

Tip: The promenade is also a great spot for jogging or cycling if you're looking for an active way to explore the city.

Explore Malmö Saluhall (Food Hall)

Indulge your senses at Malmö Saluhall, a modern and vibrant food hall located near the city center. Here you can find a wide array of local and international culinary delights, from fresh produce and artisanal cheeses to gourmet street food and local baked goods.

Tip: This is an excellent place to grab lunch, pick up some gourmet souvenirs, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere and diverse food offerings.
