Öresund Bridge
About

The Öresund Bridge is a defining landmark of Malmö, stretching across the strait to connect Sweden with Denmark in a single sweeping line of steel and concrete. Opened in 2000, it forms part of the fixed link between Malmö and Copenhagen, combining a long cable‑stayed bridge with the artificial island of Peberholm and the Drogden Tunnel on the Danish side. Its elegant pylons rise above the water and have become a familiar silhouette on the city’s horizon. More than an engineering achievement, the bridge has transformed everyday life in the region. It enables fast travel between the two cities, supporting a shared labour market, cultural exchange, and cross‑border commuting. Today the Öresund Bridge stands not only as a vital transport route but also as a powerful symbol of connection, cooperation, and the modern identity of Malmö.

It is also close to the bridge viewpoint at Utsiktsvägen in Limhamn, with views of the water, the bridge approach, and the Malmö shoreline. From this area, visitors can easily reach the city’s waterfront and other seaside walks.
