See
At the heart of Malmö lies two squares, called appropriately, the Big Square (Stortorget) and the Little Square (Lilla torg), and directly connected at one corner.
At the center of the Big Square is a statue of King Karl X Gustav of Sweden, who took the city from Danish dominion. The ornate Malmö City Hall (built in 1546) is on the east side, and in the northwest corner is Kockska Huset, the house of Jörgen Kock, a German immigrant who became mayor of the city and achieved wealth simply and directly: by taking control of the city mint.
The Little Square is the place for socializing and dining, with the edges taken up by various restaurants' outdoor tables. In the winter the square becomes a skating rink. The Form/Design Center (free entrance) is also located here.
Turning Torso, completed in 2005, is at 190m the tallest building in Scandinavia. Mostly apartments with some offices, it's located in a new zone near the waterfront and has no observation tower or other sightseeing facilities, so it's probably best to admire it from afar (visible from almost anywhere in the city). If you are visiting in the summer there is a nice waterfront promenade and a open-sea bath nearby the Turning Torso. There is also a state of the art skateboarding park in the area.
Möllevångstorget square, south of the city center, has a bustling open-air market on weekends. The surrounding neighborhood is full of inexpensive Asian and Middle Eastern shops, restaurants and grocery stores catering to the alternative side of the city, the immigrant population and people who are tired of mainstream commerce.
Gamla Väster, between Lilla Torget and Malmöhus, is a quiet and sophisticated part of town with lots of galleries, design shops and restaurants.
A visit to Malmö Stadsbibliotek (Malmö's public library, Kung Oscars väg) is a must for all architecture buffs and intellectuals.
Sidewalk Express, Railway station. 19 SEK per hour.
Many places around Möllevångstorget cater to the budget option. Get a falafel (10-20 SEK), Indian, Thai, Middle Eastern or Chinese meal from 35 SEK and up. Plenty to choose from. Råå Bar & Restaurang and Krua Thai on Möllevångstorget are two great, inexpensive Thai places. On Södra Förstadsgatan near Möllevångstorget are a number of good places - Ganesha does tasty and cheap Indian fast food for 45 SEK and up, and restaurant Middle East has good shawarmas for 30 SEK. Just off Möllevångstorget on Ystadsgatan is an unpretentious Persian restaurant which does good food.
There are a lot of restaurants in the Little Square with outdoor seating (with heating year-round).
Mello Yello, +46 40304525. A good mix of Swedish and European food.

Malmöhus Castle, located west of the old city core, was built in 1437 by Erik of Pomerania, inhabited by the kings of Denmark in the 1500s, and used as a prison until 1914. Currently it houses a history museum, art museum, aquarium, and terrarium. Sharing the castle grounds are other Malmö Museum facilities such as the Science and Maritime House and the Commandant's House. Fiskehoddorna - a small, traditional fish market - lies nearby.Itineraries
