Copenhagen, Denmark, and the southwestern coast of Sweden are located so ridiculously close together it would be a huge disservice to visit one and not the other. Even as little as a long weekend can be spent partly in the Danish capital city and partly in the Swedish town of Malmö. But how can you get yourself from one to the other across the waters of the Øresund Strait? Here are a few suggestions. (Remember to carry your passport or other photo ID with you as you will be crossing international waters.)
By Car
The most obvious and most liberating way to travel from eastern Denmark to western Sweden is to rent a car. Take the five-mile-long Øresund Bridge over and beneath parts of the strait to get from Copenhagen to Malmö in approximately 28 miles (or a 45-minute car ride depending on traffic). Crossing the bridge by private vehicle comes at a hefty price, however, of approximately $58.
By Train
A cheaper option is to cross the strait by train. The journey takes about 35 minutes and tickets can be purchased on RailEurope.com or at local train stations for anywhere $8– 15 depending on the day and time of travel.
By Bus
A final option for those who are not in a time crunch is the bus. For as little as $3–5, a one-way journey may take up to one hour, and companies like Flixbus leave every four hours.
