Malmö

Malmö, located near the southwestern tip of Sweden on the Øresund strait, reigned as Denmark's second largest city for centuries before the Treaty of Roskilde saw the region come under Swedish control. Today, it is ranked as Sweden's third largest city. Throughout its long history, it has overcame sieges, bouts of the bubonic plague, and developed into an industrial and shipping powerhouse in the 1800s. As industrialization declined, and after suffering a recession in the 1970s, the city struggled to find its way. Malmö decided to lean into an economy centered on culture and knowledge and the long planned Öresund Bridge, constructed from 1995-1999, linked the city to neighboring Copenhagen and opened more opportunities for both cities.

After your time in Malmö you will return to Copenhagen by train.
