Ferry from Malmo to Swinoujscie

Malmo Guide

The Swedish city of Malmo is the capital of Skane County. The city has been transformed since the construction of the Oresund Bridge, which is a double-track railway and road bridge across the Oresund strait between Scania, in southern Sweden, and Denmark. The once struggling city has been rejuvenated with new buildings and the influx of new business, including biotech and IT companies. Despite the recent developments, the city has retained its small and friendly atmosphere and has a great choice of cultural attractions, including the new Moderna Musee Malmo which is in a disused power station and exhibits contemporary international works of art. There is also a good selection of quality restaurants, cafes and bars in the city.

Located in the Malmohus Castle Building are the Malmo Art Museum, the City Museum, the Museum of Natural History and the Science and Maritime House Museum. This is perfect for visitors that plan to visit them all in one day. Another place in Malmo that is worth the visit is the Malmo Konsthall which is known for its function and aesthetics and the use of light and space in its gallery.

Ferries from the port in Malmo depart to Travemunde in Germany.
