Malmö, Urban area and seaport in southern Sweden

Malmö spans across three municipalities at the southwestern tip of Sweden, functioning as a commercial center with modern infrastructure and waterfront districts.

Founded in 1353 during Danish rule, Malmö developed from a marketplace into a trade center for the German Hanseatic League before joining Sweden.

The city features numerous theaters, galleries, and public art installations, reflecting influences from its population of diverse international backgrounds.

Malmö connects to Copenhagen through the Øresund Bridge, offering extensive public transportation networks and dedicated bicycle lanes throughout the urban area.

The Turning Torso, reaching 190 meters into the sky, stands as the tallest building in Scandinavia and defines the city's modern architectural identity.
