Introducing Malmö
Marvellous Malmö is the most 'continental' of Sweden's cities. It's a vibrant and multicultural place, influenced by Copenhagen across the Öresund and populated by people from 150 nations. Malmö also seems to attract one-off works of architecture and design: the Turning Torso, created by Santiago Calatrava, is the latest wonder, after the jaw-dropping Öresund bridge and tunnel linking Copenhagen and Malmö. On a more personal scale, there are some great modern-art exhibition spaces; and several of the city's half-timbered houses contain unique art and craft galleries. Near these nifty gift shops, the whole of Lilla Torg is a chattering, clinking mass of alfresco diners.
