We begin your private tour at Copenhagen Central Station, the historic and lively gateway to the city. It’s an ideal starting point for setting the scene before we head out to explore together.

We travel from Copenhagen to Malmö by train, crossing the iconic Øresund Bridge. Sit back and enjoy the smooth, quiet 40-minute journey as we glide over the strait with beautiful views of the water and coastline. Your train ticket is included in the tour price, so you can simply relax and enjoy the ride.

The Knotted Gun, also known as the Non Violence Sculpture, is one of Malmö’s most iconic landmarks, placed just outside the central station. This striking bronze artwork depicts a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, symbolising peace and non violence. Created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, it has become a global symbol with versions displayed in major cities around the world. The Malmö sculpture stands as a gentle reminder of Sweden’s long tradition of peace and dialogue.

Malmöhus Castle (Malmöhus Slott) – On your private tour, we pause outside Malmö’s historic castle, the oldest surviving Renaissance fortress in Scandinavia. Built in the mid 1500s under Danish king Christian III, it has served as everything from royal residence to prison. Today it forms part of Malmö Museum and is surrounded by a peaceful moat and green parkland. We do not enter the castle, but even from the outside it offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s past.

A traditional Dutch style windmill sits quietly in the green surroundings of Slottsparken, just a few minutes from Malmöhus Castle and the organic gardens of Slottsträdgården. On your private tour, we stop here for a moment to share a bit about Malmö’s canals, its former fortress landscape and the city’s long garden tradition. It’s also a great spot for relaxed photos with the mill, the bridges and the water in the background.

We continue our tour with a stroll through Slottsparken, one of Malmö’s most peaceful green escapes wrapped around the old castle grounds. The winding canals, small bridges and colourful gardens make it a favourite place for locals to unwind. It’s an ideal setting to enjoy a bit of nature while we uncover more of the city’s past.

In the centre of Malmö you’ll find Stortorget, the city’s impressive 16th century main square. Framed by historic buildings such as Malmö City Hall, it has been a key gathering place for centuries. Today it remains a vibrant hub where architecture, local life and centuries of history all meet.

This small cobblestone square is one of Malmö’s most atmospheric corners. Originating from the late 16th century, it’s lined with beautifully preserved half timbered buildings and a cosy mix of cafés, bars and restaurants. It’s a lively spot where centuries of history blend naturally with the city’s modern social scene.

We finish your private tour with a cosy Swedish fika at Ruths Café near Lilla Torg, where both coffee and a pastry are included. If you’d like to stay and enjoy Malmö longer, you’ll receive your return train ticket directly in hand. Guests heading back to Copenhagen return together with the host for a smooth and easy journey.
