The third largest city in Sweden, Malmö is located in the Skåne region, the southernmost part of the country, and is closely connected to Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, by the Öre Bridge across the Öre Strait. One of Scandinavia's most vibrant cities, Malmö blends history with modern innovation, with the old town retaining its medieval architecture and cobblestone streets, while newer neighborhoods such as the West Harbor exemplify an "eco-city" with its sustainable design and green architecture, and the landmark Rotunda Building is a highlight of the city's skyline. Known for its multiculturalism, creative industries and technological innovation, the city is home to educational institutions such as Malmö University, while its easy access to transportation and waterfront attracts tourists from all over the world, making it an ideal gateway for exploring the south of Sweden and Scandinavian life.
Barbuda is part of the country of Antigua and Barbuda and is located in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, across the channel from Antigua. The 161-square-kilometer island is known for its pristine natural beauty, its small population (about 1,600) and its isolation from the hustle and bustle of the Caribbean. The island's Morne Beach stretches for several kilometers, with white sandy beaches bordering the blue waters, making it an ideal place for bird-watching, snorkeling and sunbathing; the Francisco Nature Reserve is home to a large number of red ibis, seabirds and other wildlife, and the ecology has been well preserved. There are no large hotels in Barbuda, with small inns and villas as the mainstay, suitable for travelers seeking tranquility and nature, and an excellent choice for experiencing the slow life in the Caribbean.
