Øresund Bridge
Driving across the Øresund to Sweden
The Øresund Bridge links Copenhagen on the Danish side with Malmö in southern Sweden, and has been the fixed road and rail link across the Øresund strait since 2000. If you're driving your own car or motorhome into Sweden, this is the fastest land route: on the Danish side the crossing starts with a tunnel running under the approach to Copenhagen Airport, continues over the artificial island of Peberholm, and then becomes the nearly 8-kilometre cable-stayed bridge into Malmö.
The crossing is toll-based, and you pay on the Swedish side. A quick alternative to the bridge is the Helsingør - Helsingborg ferry. Current toll rates are in the price table further down this page.

From Copenhagen to Malmö
Built in 2000, the Øresund Bridge links Sweden with Denmark and is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe. Including its approach spans, the cable-stayed bridge measures almost 8,000 metres; its 206-metre pylons support a span of 490 metres. It was built in just 40 months. On the Danish side, the crossing begins with a tunnel running under the approach to Copenhagen Airport out to the artificial island of Peberholm. From there, the 7,854-metre bridge continues above ground into Malmö.
