Internationally Connected

  • 25 minutes from Malmö 50 minutes from Copenhagen
  • HH Tunnel will link northern Denmark
  • Fehmarn Belt will link northern Europe drastically reducing travel times

Malmö Central station is an international tourist hub and is also connected to local cities and towns including Lund (15 mins via train), Helsingborg, and Kristianstad in Sweden, both of which are 60 mins by train. Other train connections include Copenhagen International Airport (14 mins), Copenhagen city (30 mins) and Helsingör, Denmark (60 mins).

In addition, over 270,000 residents in greater Copenhagen own a club bridge pass for the Öresund Bridge, enabling them to cross the bridge at 50 per cent of the usual cost to enjoy the local attractions in southern Sweden and there are plans to increase this number.

Located just 40km from the scheme the forthcoming HH Tunnel, connecting Helsingborg (Sweden) to Helsingør (Denmark), will further extend the catchment area into the north-east of Denmark.

Construction of the Fehmarn belt tunnel, which will connect Germany and Denmark, is now underway. It will comprise a four-lane motorway and two electrified rail tracks, meaning it will take only ten minutes to travel from Denmark to Germany by car and only seven minutes by train. This will open Malmö Designer Village up to the whole of continental Europe with the journey time from the north of Germany to Malmo cut to 1½ hours by train and 2 hours by road.
