-
Humanitetens Hus
The Red Cross was just setting up Humanitetens Hus at the time of writing. There's an emphasis on school visits, but it's worth popping in to learn more from these committed folk about their humanitarian work around the world; or to have a cup of coffee at the Fair Trade café.

Malmöhus Slott
Malmö's castle has an intriguing history, although not much remains of the older citadels built on the site: today, with its red-brick, Functionalist buildings (dating from 1937), it looks more like a factory! Some of the Malmö Museer are based inside the castle.

Sankt Petri Kyrka
This red-brick Gothic beast is the oldest church in the city, built in the early 14th century. The medieval frescoes were whitewashed over by Protestant zealots in 1555, but the original wall-paintings in the Krämarekapellet (inside at the rear of Sankt Petri Kyrka) have been successfully restored. There's also a magnificent altarpiece dating from 1611 and a votive ship in the south aisle, dedicated to all who died at sea in WWII. Much of the church has been rebuilt and the 96m tower was constructed in 1890.

Teknikens och Sjöfartens Hus
The excellent Teknikens och Sjöfartens Hus is a short way to the west. It's a technology and maritime museum, with aircraft, vehicles, a horse-drawn tram, steam engines, and the amazing 'U3' walk-in submarine, just outside the main building. The submarine was launched in Karlskrona in 1943 and decommissioned in 1967. Upstairs is a superb hands-on experiment room for kids, which will keep them (and you!) enthralled for ages.
-
Thottska Huset
Across the road from St Gertrud Quarter, Thottska Huset is the oldest half-timbered house in Malmö (1558). It's been turned into a restaurant, so you can take a look inside.
