St. Petri’s Church is one of Malmo’s oldest buildings and was built in the Baltic Gothic Style in the 14th Century, and has a 105 meter tall bell tower.

An early Sunday morning swap meet in Malmo’s central plaza attracts a small crowd of bargain hunters.
-
-
When we first arrived in Malmo the city was fast asleep and quiet, later the town woke up with the midday sunshine.
-
-
The swap meet was a quiet, orderly affair; and folks seemed to have a friendly, contented nature about them.
-
-
We only stay for a few hours in Malmo, long enough to walk through the central part of town before returning by ferry to Copenhagen and catching a flight back to Karup, Denmark.
-
-
When we first arrived on the ferry the city was fast asleep on an early Sunday morning.
-
-
We initially walked around Malmo and checked out the sights and wondered if we were the only ones in town that morning.
-
-
Perhaps everyone else had received the “memo” to vacation in the countryside that day – and we were the only tourists that didn’t know?
-
-
A beautiful view of a foggy morning with a perfect mirrored reflection in one of Malmo’s canals.
-
-
This tree lined canal is a peaceful park like setting as it blends into the distant foggy mist on a quiet Sunday morning.
-
-
This picture looks like a scene from hundreds of years ago, and takes the viewer back to an earlier time and place.
-
-
Boats sit idle all in a row in a perfectly still canal, while all around them the city of Malmo quietly sleeps.
-
-
I love this perfect reflection of the bridge and trees, in a park like setting along a mirrored canal in Malmo.
-
-
These boats docked in a still marina in Malmo await their owners in quiet solitude with infinite patience.
-
-
A cobblestone plaza with an Old World feel in Malmo provides a convenient resting place for a couple of bicycles, prior to the demands of the new day.
-
-
The Old World buildings surrounding the plaza are perfectly restored, and allow you to imagine that you have just stepped back into an earlier time and place.
-
-
Malmo has many types of historic buildings, each of a different style and character.
-
-
Another view of St. Petri’s Church on the left, and Malmo’s historic City Hall on the right.
-
-
Another look at Malmo’s idyllic cobblestone plaza, with buildings that look like they were taken straight from an Old World Fairy Tale.
-
-
A lovely private “secret garden” that invites weary travelers and locals alike to rest their feet from the hectic pace of the modern world.
-
-
These rail yards service the port of Malmo, and look untouched since the days of the Second World War.
-
-
This Malmo pedestrian zone has a more modern feel to it, and is accented by international flags from countries around the world.
-
-
Market stalls that line a pedestrian zone no doubt were part of a street fair or festival the day before.
-
-
With this photo of a pristine pedestrian zone, I must now say “good bye” to our visit to Malmo, Sweden, and only hope for a return visit someday.
