The Oresund region
Explore the Øresund region around Copenhagen, with coastlines, castles, museums and Malmö across the bridge in Sweden.
The Øresund Bridge
The combined bridge and tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden opened in 2000. Travel times and road charges depend on your starting point and ticket or agreement. Check Øresundsbron for current conditions and the rail operator for train journeys.
Ørestad
Ørestad on Amager is an established urban district with modern architecture, homes, workplaces and metro connections. Earlier population and completion forecasts should not be read as current statistics.
Nature and day trips
Dyrehaven is the deer park north of Copenhagen; Bakken, also called Dyrehavsbakken, is the amusement park beside it. They are separate attractions. Louisiana, Kronborg and Roskilde offer other possible day trips. Plan travel and check visitor opening hours for the date you choose.
Denmark and the region
Denmark’s currency is DKK and its capital is Copenhagen. The Øresund region crosses the Danish–Swedish border and is defined differently in different statistics. Consult Statistics Denmark for figures with a clear year and area rather than the old 2009–2010 table.
