Surrounded by sea
Long before there was an Øresund Region, there was an Øresund Sea. It lies between southern Sweden and eastern Denmark and is overlooked by Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, and the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Though relatively small, the Øresund Region is packed with sights, experiences and attractions. Its idyllic countryside is perfect for fishing, golf or relaxing. But you are never far from the buzz of a major city.
