The magnetism of “one destination – two countries”

The Øresund Region is part of Scandinavia and comprises eastern Denmark and southern Sweden, linked by the impressive Øresund Bridge. From both sides of the Øresund trait, the bridge is a striking spectacle. The 204 m high pylons are visible from far away - a new landmark in the Øresund Region. The Øresund fixed link is 16 km long and consists of a 8 km long bridge, a tunnel and an artificial island. You can cross the beautiful bridge either by car or by train and the journey between the Danish Copenhagen and the Swedish Malmö only takes half-an-hour. The Region is a fascinating area full of contrasts.
