Copenhagen: Tour Across the Øresund Bridge to Lund and Malmö

2. Copenhagen: Tour Across the Øresund Bridge to Lund and Malmö

Admire the impressive Øresund Bridge, one of the longest bridges in Europe, as you journey from Copenhagen to Sweden. Discover the historical city of Lund, and use your time how you please in Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city. Begin your tour at the Hotel Astoria in Copenhagen, and travel across Øresund Bridge. Make your way to Lund, a city so old it dates at least until the Viking Age. Discover Lund Cathedral, whose construction was finished in 1145, and explore the tiny, cobblestoned streets surrounding it. Then, travel back down south to Malmö, and decide how you will spend your time. Find your bearings with your guide in the biggest square in Malmö, Stortorget, which appropriately means Big Square. Dine in a selection of Malmö's most popular restaurants in Lilletorget, or Little Square, located just behind Stortoget. Enjoy the Parisian feel, and see some historic buildings and a vintage telephone box. Or, head towards the north-west side of Stortoget to reach Sodergatan, Malmö's main shopping street and pedestrian walkway. Shop in the department store, Ahlens, or in many other quality clothing shops. Check out Stora Nygatan at the far end of Sodergatan too, as here you'll find the Hansa shopping mall. If culture is more your thing, take your pick from a selection of museums. Get a feel for the contemporary at Malmö Modern Art Museum, or dive into history at the Malmö Natural History Museum. The latter is located at Malmöhus Castle, which dates from the Renaissance and is also host to the Malmö Art Museum, whose collection spans the 16th to 20th centuries. Finally, marvel at the Turning Torso in Malmö, the tallest building in Scandinavia, before returning to Copenhagen.

The tour was outstanding. Chris (the guide) is very knowlegeable, witty and has made this day unforgettable. Steen (the driver) is likewise amazing, and shared very interesting insights with us, completing Chris wonderfully. Together not only were they a great team, perfect and lovely hosts but also were literally going (driving ) the extramile for the tour participants (and actually dropped us off close to the opera to ensure we could be there on time).

Great way to see several sites in a day in two countries! There’s plenty of time to explore each stop, which is nice as some tours are rushed or just a drive-by. A little bit on the pricier side in comparison to other options, but you get what you pay for.

What a great trip past the rich houses on the way to the castle. Castle was enjoyable but would hate to have lived there in it’s time. Beautiful farming land in Sweden. Lund was nice but needed a sunny day

The tour is very complete. The guide provides information throughout the tour, as well as providing you with maps of the places you will see. You have free time in each place.

Fun guides, really trying to share key notes to people and fave fun together. Recommended excursion!
