Malmohus Castle
by csordila
The impressive, massive Malmohus castle is the oldest conserved Renaissance castle in the Nordic Region, where the Danish kings used to stay when they visited the city.
Since it was built as a citadel in the mid-16th century by Eric of Pomerania, it has housed royalty, prisoners, the Danish mint, and today, the city of Malmö’s Art Museum, the City Museum and the Natural History Museum along with an aquarium and a tropicarium.
You can take a tour through the original buildings and some of the museum’s exhibits, including one that tells the story of Malmö as a city.
Just behind the castle is a charming park that holds a number of concerts and festivals in the summer months.
Pildammsparken
by diocletianvs
Pildammsparken (the Willow Lake Park) is the largest park in Malmö. It was laid out in connection with the Baltic exhibition that was held here in 1914. One remnant of this exhibition is Margaretapaviljonen (Crown Princess Margareta's pavilion).
This large park features large ponds, open lawns and groves, flower alley, Queen Silvia’s rose garden and many natural bird ponds. In the southern end of the park is an open-air theatre that houses performances and concerts during the summer.
See my travelogue for more photos from Pildammsparken.
Park is situated south of Malmö Opera house, you can walk from the centre or take buses 11 or 20.
Green Bus
by travelife
Environmental awareness is an essential part all over scandinavia and Sweden is in radical role in many ways. City buses are colored green because it looks environment friendly and good for your eyes or suits better in Malmø or whatever reason there might be.
Swedish signs

Gatan is the Swedish for street :)
However you can definitely get by on English in Malmo, helped no doubt by the fact that English is a compulsory language subject in school. But a few phrases from http://www.sverigeturism.se/smorgasbord/smorgasbord/culture/lifestyle/sentences.html should see you right. :)
