Top tip: Visit Denmark and Sweden in one day

Can’t get enough of Scandinavia? Why not take a day trip to Sweden? Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are separated by the famous Øresund Bridge. Cars, trains and buses can travel over the bridge. It takes between 36 and 60 minutes to cross the bridge, depending on the mode of transport – so it’s perfect for a day out.

Shopping in Copenhagen

Second-hand shops, flea markets and high-end fashion – Copenhagen is truly a shopping paradise. Strøget is the city’s most famous shopping street and also one of the oldest pedestrian areas in Europe.

If you’re always on the lookout for pre-loved treasures, head to shops like Wasteland, Carmen Copenhagen or Times Up Vintage. The most popular flea markets in the city include Vera’s Market, Remisen Flea Market and Onkel Dannys.

Transport to and around Copenhagen

There are frequent nonstop flights to the Danish capital from various major UK airports which take around 1 hour and 45 minutes. If you fancy a more sedate journey or want to explore more countries on the way, you can also take the train. This will take you through France, Belgium, Germany and possibly the Netherlands depending on the route.

Once you’re there, the easiest way to get around the city is by bike or on public transport. The city transport system includes buses, the metro and the popular harbour buses. The harbour buses are small ferries which allow you to discover Copenhagen from the water.
