From the moment we left Copenhagen Airport on the modern train travelling over the bridge spanning the sea between Denmark and the South of Sweden and arrived at Malmo only 20 minutes later I began to relax and enjoy the experience. Malmo is a civilised city of gracious buildings, canals, waterside developments and attractive parks. The latter with lakes populated by many geese and water birds. In the town there are medieval houses mixing with the modern architecture, stylish shops and iconic bronze sculptures on the streets. But above all Malmo is dominated by its position on the sea. My own highlight was a brisk walk in the sunshine with snow on the ground to the Victorian Bath-house. The scenery was snowy, blue sky, navy blue sea, and swans swimming on the sea, temperature –4 degrees. We walked over a wooden footbridge from the shore to a building looking like a cricket pavilion. Here the hardy could undress and plunge into pools of sea- water and then hurry into the poolside saunas. To call this exhilarating is an understatement. For the less adventurous we could relish a cup of steaming hot chocolate in the café. This was a really special outing for the price of a cup of coffee and was both unexpected and great fun. Malmo is a memorable and accessible destination for any time of the year. Cannot wait to go again there is a lot more to do and see!"close
