A digital walking tour - now in Malmö, Lund, Stavanger, Pristina, Landskrona, Skanör/Falsterbo, Helsingborg, Kristianstad, Hässleholm and Åtvidaberg! How was it to grow up in the poorer neighborhoods of 1940s Malmö? What did Stortorget look like in the 1850s before the cathedral's towers were rebuilt and they still loomed over the old city hall? And what happened when a Red Cross hospital ship filled with former prisoners of war arrived in 1945 at the harbour in Helsingborg? With our app you can see how the place where you now stand looked in the past, or will look like in the future. Selected cities also have public art and GPS adventures.
