Malmö Central Station is the third largest station in Sweden which has been designed by architect Folke Zettervall. The terminus railway station was opened in 1856 but was nearly damaged in a fire accident and was reopened in 1872. It has been one of the most visited places in Malmö with over 45,000 people visiting the place everyday. The central station has two buildings: Centralhallen and Gröna Hallen. The former is the main hall of the station while the latter is the waiting room.
About 350 trains depart and arrive at the station everyday to and from bigger cities like Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Berlin. Many city buses and buses to the airports start from the central station. Taxi station at the place is quite busy and regional buses to places like Lund, Falsterbo and Trelleborg also start from the station.
The waiting room of central station is known as Gröna Hallen and it gets its name from its bright green brick walls. Tourists can find Turistbyrån, Forex, Espresso House and O`Learys at the station. Citytunnel is under construction and has been planned to be ready by September 2011. Malmö Central Nedre is the subway station that will be lying beneath the ground.
The brilliant architecture of the place makes it a popular tourist attraction and the constant usability and connectedness of the place makes it prominent.
