A hop, skip & jump to Sweden

from Copenhagen

Just a 20 minute train ride from Copenhagen will see you arrive at Malmo Central Station, Sweden. Malmo is Sweden’s 3rd largest city and is well worth visiting if you are in Copenhagen. Once there, grab a map from the Tourist Office and then enjoy walking around the old and new quarters of Malmo. The old quarter is charming with many very old buildings that look part Tudor and part Nordic. The pedestrian mall areas are beautiful and there were lots of people out and about soaking up the sunshine. We visited Malmohus, the Fortress, which once also served as a prison but is now a museum, and enjoyed a walk in the lovely gardens. Living in Australia, it is funny to think that a 20 minute train ride will land you in another country. At home, a 20 minute train ride will take us into the CBD.
