Detailed 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.
