Indeed - I discovered Malmö when they hosted the Eurovision song contest in 2013, and after flying into CPH airport from Australia, the Oresund was my first experience of Sweden. It feels like such a significant symbol of Malmö life that I'm surprised they didn't sell tourist collectibles of the Oresund when I was there (much like the Harbour Bridge is a symbol of Sydney, and you can buy little metal Harbour Bridges in every tourist store there).
The Australians I travelled with to Malmö in 2013 & 2014 still talk about it fondly, especially Max Burger & also Emporia. I need to find a profitable/business excuse to travel back to Malmö again sometime soon.
- simongray 8y agojust FYI: Øresund/Öresund is the name of the strait between Denmark and Sweden. You should probably tack on "bridge" to make it clear you're talking about the bridge specifically :)
- SyneRyder 8y agoAhh yes, thank you! Every time I post in a thread about Malmö & Copenhagen I learn something. Last time I tried talking about the TV show The Bridge using its original name (Bron/Brøn, I hope I got it right this time!), but I think I used an umlaut instead for the Danish spelling, and apparently that means something different...
