Øresund Bridge

Visit Malmö - "The Bridge"

Only 20 minutes across 'The Bridge' from Copenhagen, Malmö is an easily accessible and fun excursion. Jump on the train across the Øresund Bridge, inaugurated in July 2000, and get a window view. The Øresund or Öresund Bridge is a combined railway and motorway bridge across the Øresund strait between Sweden and Denmark. The bridge runs nearly 8 kilometres from the Swedish coast to the artificial island Peberholm in the middle of the strait. If planning to drive, be aware that the barriers along the road prohibit any good viewing.
