Apparently, Malmö has a lot of crime compared to the rest of Scandinavia; however, this little tid-bit blew my mind. I didn’t get this feeling at all. Malmö is a really nice city! It’s clean, I felt safe, the architecture is great, etc. Those Swedes, let me tell you… they are amazing with design: IKEA, Volvo, Malmö… man! I had a lot of fun here.
