The remains of the oldest Renaissance castle are now being managed by Malmö Museums. Malmö later then made modern additions to the castle and in 1937 opened some of the new premises to the public.

For the water-loving traveler, Malmö has the relaxing sandy beach of Ribersborg, whom locals refer to as Ribban. Ribban is only a walking distance from the center of the city. Children enjoy the water because it stays shallow even far away from its shore. As such more spaces are available for water games and other sporting activities.  It is important to note that the sand in this beach was taken from Öresund and needed to be transported by rail to Ribersborg from the Port of Malmö. Another famous destination for swimmers is the grand Kallbadhuset from 1898, which offers wood-fired sauna all year round.

And except for the Öresund Bridge, majority of the sites just mentioned are within walking distance from the city’s center.
