MORE INFO
Malmo is Sweden’s southern gateway: diverse, bikeable, creative, and closely tied to Copenhagen. It offers strong internet, excellent public systems, coastal areas, and a more affordable lifestyle than Stockholm or Copenhagen. The city has more visible social contrasts than many Swedish cities, but it also feels lively and international. For remote workers, Malmo is especially useful if you want Scandinavian quality of life with cross-border access to Denmark.
