Malmö Sights

  1. Form/Design Center

    Located in the wonderful courtyarded 16th-century Hedmanska Gården, featuring architecture, design and art displays. The surrounding cobbled streets are restored parts of the late-medieval town; the half-timbered houses are now occupied by galleries and boutiques selling some superb arts and crafts.

  2. 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.

  8. 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.
