Shaped by nature over thousands of years, Rocha Dos Bordoes is a geological formation consisting of basalt columns and several rivers which lead to a tranquil waterfall. Near its base are the so-called Aguas Quentes, cauldrons of boiling sulphurous water.

This underground museum was voted the best in Europe in 2012, and is an essential visit for anyone interested in how the island's volcanic formations came to be. Centro de Interpretação do Vulcão dos Capelinhos uses multimedia to teach visitors about the formations as well as the island's history, notably the 1957-58 eruption.

Malmö boasts a fascinating blend of architectural styles, heavily influenced by both Denmark and the broader European context. One noteworthy architectural gem can be found in Kungsparken, where the award-winning City Library stands. This building consists of two interconnected parts — an older section and a newer addition known as "The Calendar", designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen. Situated just a stone's throw away from the Malmö Central Station, Stortorget is home to the Town Hall. While its original construction dates back to 1546, the building has undergone significant transformations throughout the centuries. Notably, in 1860, architect Helgo Zettervall revamped the façade in the Dutch Renaissance style, lending the Town Hall its distinctive appearance. Located in another section of the expansive square is Kockska Huset, an exceptionally well-preserved sixteenth-century structure built from red brick and adorned with intricately decorated stepped gables. Today, this building houses one of Malmö's most renowned restaurants, Årstiderna (The Seasons), nestled within its basement vaults. Just behind the Town Hall, the tip of St Petrikyrkan (St Peter's Church) peeks into view. As Malmö's oldest standing edifice, this architectural marvel dates back to the early 14th century and showcases the Baltic brick Gothic style. In the early 1900s, significant efforts were made to develop and restore the medieval paintings adorning the church's vaults, adding to its historical and artistic significance.
