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.

Southern Sweden’s largest museum is located on Malmöhusvägen in the heart of Malmö in a beautiful park-like setting surrounded by canals. Here you can see everything from the Nordic region’s oldest surviving Renaissance castle to a real submarine and fantastic vehicles. The museum’s permanent exhibitions focus on history, natural history, technology and seafaring. There are also about a dozen temporary exhibitions every year. Next to it is the Fiskehoddorna, a popular seafood market where fresh fish is sold over the counter.

On the outskirts of Malmö lies a rural oasis that emanates a sense of peace and harmony. Katrinetorp, an early 19th-century "landeri" (country estate), was originally designed as a summer residence and a venue for grand receptions. Today, the city of Malmö runs the place, and they are constantly working on recreating its former glory. Markets, music entertainment, events, and exhibitions are held here annually. It recently opened its new exhibition hall "The Stables,” which also has a high-end gift shop. Katrinetorp lies 10 minutes from the city centre of Malmö, which makes the big city no more than a stone’s throw away from this idyllic scenery.
