Malmö is situated in southern Sweden, giving it strong links to the European mainland and Copenhagen in particular, via the famed Oresund Bridge. The Oresund Bridge is Malmö's most striking landmark, and is the longest road and rail bridge in Europe, measuring 5 miles in total. These symbols of modernity are typical of a Swedish city that was once heavily industrialised, but is now enjoying a growth in alternative forms of globalised trade. Malmö prides itself as one of the most sustainable cities in the world, due to projects like eco-housing. The social hub of the city resides in Gustav Adolf Square, Little Square and Big Square. If you take up car hire in Malmö, the cities of Lund and Copenhagen are easily reachable. Hiring a car in Malmö is available from the airport or venues across the city.
The Oresund Bridge has become the prevailing symbol of Malmö in recent years, but in the city itself You'll find a wealth of attractions. Kungsparken is a beautiful inner-city haven, and the perfect place for a quiet stroll. The skyline is dominated by an array of diverse landmarks, from the ultra-modernity of the Turning Torso building, to the ornate beauty of St Peter's Church and Lilla Torg (Little Square). Malmö Castle is home to the Technology and Maritime Museum, Art Museum and City Museum which provides a nice juxtaposition, and a fine dual attraction. If you're heading for the Malmo Arena, as many tourists are, you're best off hiring a car in Malmö.
