Visiting Sweden: Malmö and Lund via the Øresund Bridge
Set off on a journey from Denmark to Sweden across the iconic Øresund Bridge — an engineering masterpiece linking two kingdoms and two cultures. Crossing the 16-kilometre bridge is an adventure in itself: the route begins in a deep-sea tunnel that gradually emerges onto the bridge, offering breathtaking views of the strait and the skylines of Copenhagen and Malmö.
The first stop is Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, where medieval streets meet striking modern architecture. Once part of Denmark, the city still bears traces of the shared history of the two nations. You will see Malmöhus Fortress, the oldest surviving Renaissance castle in Scandinavia, whose walls have witnessed royal celebrations as well as periods when it served as a prison. A walk through the historic center, with its narrow streets, old houses, cafés, and small shops, gives you a chance to experience the atmosphere of the old town.
Malmö’s contemporary side reveals itself in the Western Harbour district, home to the futuristic Turning Torso skyscraper — a symbol of Sweden’s architectural innovation and modern vision.
The route then continues to Lund, Sweden’s oldest university city, founded in the 10th century. Here you will visit the majestic Lund Cathedral, the spiritual heart of southern Sweden. In its dim interior, centuries seem to breathe, while the famous 15th-century astronomical clock still shows the movement of the Sun and the Moon through the signs of the zodiac. A walk through Lund offers a sense of warmth and happiness: historic university buildings, leafy streets, cozy cafés, and the youthful energy of a city where nearly every second resident is a student.
On the return journey to Copenhagen, you will once again cross the Øresund Bridge — a powerful symbol of Scandinavian unity and the living dialogue between two cultures.
This tour offers a rare opportunity to visit two countries in one day, experience both the contrasts and the close ties between Denmark and Sweden, and connect with their history, architecture, and northern spirit.
