Itinerary
Start your walk at Malmö Central Station. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the historic station from the outside, where brick, steel and the modern Glass Hall reveal how Malmö transformed from industrial hub to creative gateway.
View St. Petri from the exterior. Its Gothic brick walls, tall spire and Hanseatic proportions tell the full story without stepping inside. This is Malmö’s medieval giant, best admired from its surrounding square.
Stand in Stortorget and take in the facades, the statue of Karl X Gustav and the Renaissance buildings that frame Malmö’s civic stage. Everything important here can be appreciated outdoors in the open plaza.
Pause outside the Neo Renaissance pharmacy and admire its ornate lions and decorative façade. The architecture tells the story from the street, keeping the visit entirely exterior.
Wander across Lilla Torg and enjoy its timber framed houses, cobblestones and restaurant lined square. The charm is all outdoors and the medieval atmosphere unfolds without entering any buildings.
View the Form Design Center from the courtyard of Hedmanska Gården. The timber structures and historic courtyard provide the full context while keeping this an outdoor only experience.
Admire Malmö Live from the outside. Its angular glass architecture and stacked geometric forms stand out in the skyline and can be fully enjoyed from the surrounding plazas and waterfront.
Wrap up your tour at Malmöhus Castle. Explore the fortress grounds, moat and gardens from the exterior before ending your walk at this centuries old stronghold.

To short informations and not very interesting. Not all people who choose English are native speakers so not all jokes we can understand.
Great way to explore Malmo if you have a short time in the area. It took about 45 minutes in total at 6am, so Scott streets. There were 8 stops to get to and in total there was around 2 miles of easy walking
This is an enjoyable, well-written, and well-presented audio description of many of Malmö's main tourist attractions, including descriptions of the history, culture, and architecture. The accompanying map interface (requiring cellular service) made it easy to navigate from one location to the next. It takes about an hour to complete the entire tour, but you can go at your own pace. I think the only recommendation I would add might be to include a couple more locations.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Malmö tour and found the audio, map and route easy to follow. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding a couple more locations, and we’ll keep it in mind as we improve the experience.
We travelled to Malmö from Copenhagen, so that we could say that we had also been to Sweden on our trip. It is a pretty town, and we were able to do the audio guide quite quickly. It was fairly easy to use, and we managed to find all the spots along the way. It was an affordable way to see Malmo on a whim.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad the Malmö tour was easy to use and worked well for a quick visit from Copenhagen. Happy to hear you found it affordable and easy to follow along the way.
The audio was too descriptive
We’re sorry to hear that the balance between commentary and directions did not work well for you. Thank you for the helpful feedback. We’ll review the Malmö tour and work on making the navigation between stops clearer and easier to follow.
