Arlöv
Seat of the Malmö Municipality in Sweden

Arlöv

Arlöv is the seat of Burlöv Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden.

It is statistically not defined as a locality of its own, but forms part of the contiguous city of Malmö, 5 km northeast of downtown Malmö. Out of Malmö's 344,000 inhabitants, 11,000 live in Arlöv. However, in the 1950s, a public vote took place, deciding once and for all that Burlöv Municipality would never be a part of Malmö.
