A guide to a wonderful not so royal Swedish city
Never satisfied
Ever debated
Always engaging
Malmö is a character of its own; a visionary city with a strong will and the confidence to move forward, and go its own way.
Creative people, companies and students are thriving in the sharing is caring-culture, and in 2013 Malmö ranked fourth on Forbes list over the most innovative cities… in the world. Kind of great for a city with 300 000 inhabitants.
Malmö might be small but it shares the features of big metropolises with a vibrant urban life and a rich cultural life. It is the city of youth and diversity. 50 percent are younger than 30 and collected, there is 175 nationalities in Malmö and around 120 languages are spoken. This makes Malmö the most ethnically and culturally diverse in the nation.
