Malmköping is located about 15 kilometers north of the municipal seat Flen. It is a tourist attraction due to its many annual markets.[3] The traditions of markets in Malmköping goes back more than two centuries, as Malmköping got market town rights (köping) in 1785.
There is also a museum tramway in Malmköping, the Museispårvägen Malmköping [sv], which runs heritage trams from most of the Swedish tramway systems. Olympian Helge Meuller was born here.[4]
