About this experience

Följ med på en vandringstur genom arvet av ett svunnet Malmö. I en värld bortom dagens skyskrapor och byggen i glas och betong finns en stad men århundraden på nacken. I sällskap med din Malmöguide Petra får du se Danska skrytbyggen, enkla krypin, och andra gömda guldkorn. Under turens två timmar får du ett nytt perspektiv på Centrala Malmö, stadens kanaler och Gamla Väster.
