Malmo is Sweden's third largest city.







City Hall in Malmo. Finished in 1546. The residence is now the home of the County Governor.






To reach Malmo from Copenhagen we took the train across the Oresund bridge, which is 8 km long. The train ride only took about 35 minutes, so we decided to explore the city for the day. After walking around in the cold, rainy weather for a few hours checking out the sights and Christmas markets we stopped to warm up in a cafe. Then we ate lunch at a restaurant called Mello Yellow in Lilla Torg, a charming square built in 1592. For lunch, we ended up having the most amazing hamburgers, who would have though we'd be eating burgers in Sweden. After lunch we went to try to at least see the famous Turning Torso, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. It's famous because it rises 190 meters into the sky, making it the tallest building in Sweden. It also has a 90 degree twist from bottom to top. Unfortunately, with the inclimate weather we only actually saw the top for a few minutes. After lots of walking, we headed back to Copenhagen for our last night!
