A life hack from Travellizy Team: a weekend in Sweden

Øresund Bridge is the longest combined road and railway bridge in Europe. The bridge connects the Danish capital Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö. This is what you can see from the observation deck of the Round Tower.

This is a unique structure with a continuous stream of cars and trains moving on two levels. The length of the bridge is 7.8 km. It helped unify continental Europe, Sweden and Scandinavia.

The Øresund Bridge is a real attraction and it is especially intriguing how suddenly it disappears under the water, passing into a tunnel.

So, if you come to Copenhagen for at least five days, you definitely have a budget opportunity to visit the neighboring state of Sweden, namely the city of Malmö.
