3. The Knotted Gun (Non-Violence Sculpture), One of Malmö’s most iconic landmarks, located outside the central station. This powerful bronze sculpture shows a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, symbolizing peace and non-violence. Created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, it has become a global icon with versions displayed in cities around the world. The Malmö sculpture is a reminder of Sweden’s commitment to peace and dialogue.

4. Malmöhus Castle (Malmöhus Slott) – We will pass by Scandinavia’s oldest preserved Renaissance castle, built by the Danish king Christian III in the 1500s. Once a royal residence and fortress, later a prison, today it houses Malmö Museum with exhibitions on history, art, and natural science. Surrounded by a moat and green parks, the castle is one of Malmö’s most important landmarks and a must-see from the outside.

About Copenhagen

Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.

Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.
