Malmö (Sweden) is the largest city in the Swedish county (län) of Scania (Skåne). It is the third-largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the sixth-largest city in the Nordic region, with a population of 316,588 (municipal total 350,647 in 2021).
The Malmö Metropolitan Region is home to over 700,000 people, and the Greater Copenhagen region, which includes Malmö as well as Copenhagen, is home to 4 million people.
The earliest written mention of Malmö as a city dates from 1275. It is thought to have been founded shortly before that date, as a fortified quay or ferry berth of the Archbishop of Lund, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) to the north-east. Malmö was for centuries Denmark's second-biggest city.
