Malmö – It starts here

Malmö is more than a city. Malmö is meetings, food and laughter. Malmö brims with people creating experiences for others to enjoy – theatre, art and music. Malmö is the place where you’ll meet a promising young designer, a chef whose restaurant is boasting its first Michelin star, a director pushing boundaries, a band recording its first album. Ideas and momentum flow in Malmö. You feel this flow when you visit. You feel it in our art, our music, our food. You feel it in our diversity and people. Malmö is a place where people come to fulfil their dreams. A city with room for ambition and talent – and that invites you to join in.

City tour Malmö

A walk through the old historic parts of Malmö, the Old West. We also visit Malmö’s squares and hear the story of how the city grew, especially after Skåne became Swedish after 1658.

During the tour, we look even closer at the new Malmö that has emerged over the past two decades. There are many interesting buildings, such as the World Maritime University, Malmö University, the City Library, Malmö Live and others. During the tour we also look at some public art that appears along our walk.

Turning Torso

Visit Malmö’s most spectacular building. It takes 38 seconds in the elevator to reach the top of this masterpiece by the Spanish star architect Santiago Calatrava. From the top-floor conference area, you are invited to enjoy a fantastic view of Malmö and beyond, if the weather permits. Here, you have the opportunity to receive a presentation about the history of the building, how it was constructed, and what it looks like today. What is the cost of living in Turning Torso, and what is included in the rent? Is it true that all tenants have access to a wine cellar, and how are all the windows really cleaned? You’ll get to know all this and more during a visit to the top with an authorized SkåneGuide.

To book your conference or visit, contact Sky High Meetings.

West Harbour

Turning
The West Harbour is Malmö’s most exciting area. A few decades ago this was an industrial area which today has turned into a seaside town with a sustainable holistic approach. West Harbour was created at the Bo01 housing exhibition held in Malmö in 2001 when a completely new district with exciting architecture and innovative environmental solutions was built.

Visitors flock here from all over the world, not least to see Malmö’s landmark, Santiago Calatrava’s Turning Torso, which with its 190 meters screws into the sky. West Harbour has become the favourite spot of the citizens of Malmö during the summer months and today Kockums shipyard workers are replaced by students from Malmö University and employees of the city’s media- environment- and construction companies. Although the area is developed at a furious pace – much remains to be done. Join us on a journey through time and look into the future that awaits us around the corner.

The fact that Malmö has over 170 nationalities is of course reflected in the town´s restaurants. Here you’ll find food from all corners of the world.
