Västra Hamnen

Situated about 2.5km northwest of the Old Town, buzzing, bayside Västra Hamnen reflects the contemporary face of Malmö. It is a favorite place to roam, sip coffee and surf stalls, but mostly folks come to marvel in the Öresund bridge and ogle the Turning Torso twisting its way skyward: it is beautiful and a engineering marvel, however you can not help feel it is out of place.

Moderna Museet Malmö

Architects Tham & Videgård decided to take advantage of the different 1901 Rooseum, after a power-generating turbine hall, by including a modern annexe, finish with a glowing, perforated orange-red facade. Venue aside, the museum’s galleries are well worth seeing, with frequently updated exhibitions which frequently include works from the museum’s personal collection, including works by Dalí and Picasso.

Gamla Staden

Teknikens och sjöfartens hus

Sankt Petri Kyrka

This red-brick Gothic beast is Malmö’s oldest church, built in the early 14th century. Deadly zealots whitewashed the medieval frescoes at 1555, but the first wall paintings at the Krämarekapellet were restored. There is a gorgeous altarpiece dating from 1611 plus a votive boat in the south aisle, devoted to everyone who perished in the sea from WWII.

Malmö Chokladfabrik
