Stora Torg could become the most sparkling sliver of Malmö.
This generous area is a bit of a forgotten wasteland, which is a miracle in itself considering it is contiguous with the fabulous Lilla Torg, and mere inches away from the charming train station. Hopefully it will be gently developed with added greenery and a bakery, and returned to the inhabitants of the town in the fullness of time.
However, they could also make short work of it, just like back home in Gothenburg, and eradicate it completely with a myriad of hideous condominiums, until there is a block of flats where there used to be an old wide square.

This square is large and overlooks the magnificent town hall building. Around this square, very beautiful houses with pretty facades. It is located near the historic center and a stone's throw from the train station.

Stortorget is a beautiful city square in Malmö. Nice architecture surrounds the square. When I visited there was a nice mixture of weather.

Stortorget is the main square in Central Malmö with the Town Hall being one of the most significant buildings in the square. It is the largest public square in the city and was built in 1536 and at the time was the largest in Northern Europe. In the centre of Stortorget is the equestrian statue of King Karl X Gustav. We were surprised how quiet the square was on the day of our visit, it was almost deserted.

It was under wraps and surrounded by boarding so we couldnt get near. Pretty unremarkable really, unless you particularly like statues

A beautiful city centre, so close to where I was staying, near central station and close to so many restaurants, shops and a cinema.

Beautiful place with old buildings all around. There are many reataurants here. Exclusive food and also cheap but wonderful food. Shawarma King for example is a very popular place among locals. They serve standard size plates for about 75kr each or HUGE portions for 85 kr. After a large portion of only 85kr you can hardly walk!

When you arrive at the Central
Station you follow the great hall past the shops and restaurants and exit infront of the busstop, walking straight out you'll see the Canal, walk over the Canal by the bridge infront of the station and if you walk about 2 small blocks straight you'll be at the main Square. You can't miss it! I hope you have a great stay!
