Nordic innovation, living history, and a city designed for all

Located at the southern tip of Sweden and linked to Copenhagen by the iconic Öresund Bridge, Malmö is a vibrant coastal city where Scandinavian elegance meets cultural diversity and cutting-edge design. Compact yet cosmopolitan, historic yet forward-looking, Malmö has become a European leader in sustainable development, inclusive urban planning, and accessible tourism.

This is a city without barriers, where accessibility is not a feature—it’s a foundation.

From Baltic harbor to modern Europe

Founded in the 13th century as a Danish fishing settlement, Malmö quickly grew into a key trading port in the Baltic Sea. After centuries of shifting borders and power struggles, the city became part of Sweden in 1658.

During the Industrial Revolution, Malmö emerged as a powerhouse of shipbuilding and manufacturing. But its most remarkable transformation occurred in recent decades, as it reinvented itself into a smart, green, and inclusive city—representing the very best of modern Europe.

A city built for people: beautiful and barrier-free

Malmö is a model of inclusive design. Wide pedestrian paths, smooth ramps, tactile paving, accessible public restrooms, intuitive signage, and ample seating areas are all standard features.

New districts such as Hyllie and Västra Hamnen were planned from the ground up with accessibility in mind. These neighborhoods offer a harmonious blend of sustainable architecture, coastal views, and human-centered urban spaces where everyone can move freely and comfortably.

Landmarks and culture for everyone

Malmö’s historical and cultural sites are fully accessible:

• The Malmö Castle (Malmöhus slott), a 16th-century fortress, houses museums of art, science, and history—all with elevators, adapted entrances, and inclusive exhibits.
• The St. Peter’s Church, a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, is accessible for wheelchair users and offers serene, barrier-free spaces for reflection.
• Lilla Torg, the city’s lively square, features accessible terraces, cafes, and flat, stone-paved streets ideal for easy navigation.
• City museums offer sensory-friendly environments, multilingual signage, braille and tactile resources, and guided tours designed to meet a wide range of accessibility needs.
• Nature in the heart of the city

Malmö is one of the greenest cities in Europe, with more than 30% of its land dedicated to parks, canals, and pedestrian zones:

• Kungsparken and Slottsparken are central oases filled with sculptures, fountains, and accessible trails.
• Pildammsparken, a former royal garden, offers tranquil lakes, flower gardens, and forest paths designed with all users in mind.
• The city also hosts the Malmö Garden Show, with inclusive garden designs built for sensory stimulation and universal access.

• Wooden boardwalks,

Culinary diversity with inclusive service

• Many restaurants and cafés are wheelchair accessible and offer menus in braille, pictogram-based formats, and dyslexia-friendly fonts.

• A classic Swedish smörgås with pickled herring,
• Local delicacies in Möllevången, a multicultural neighborhood known for its markets and street food,
• A relaxed fika (Swedish coffee break) in one of Malmö’s accessible canal-side cafés.
