Across Denmark without a ferry

Since the opening of the Öresund Bridge, Malmö can easily be reached by land. If you prefer to avoid ferries, you can also reach Sweden directly via the motorway. The scenic drive takes you through almost the whole of Denmark, and from Hamburg it takes just over 5 hours (approx. 500 km).

Via Denmark by ferry

The shortest route from Germany to Malmö is via the so-called "Vogelfluglinie": First by ferry from Puttgarden on Fehmarn to Rødby in Denmark and then across the Öresund Bridge to Sweden. This route also takes about 5 hours from Hamburg, but you save about 150 km of distance.
