Bus Hire in Malmo, Sweden

Malmo is Sweden's third-largest city, situated on the Oresund Strait directly opposite Copenhagen. The two cities are connected by the Oresund Bridge (opened 2000, 16 kilometres long), making Malmo effectively a twin city of the Danish capital. Malmo Airport (MMX, formerly Sturup) is 30 kilometres south-east via the E65, but most international travellers arrive via Copenhagen Airport (CPH, 25 kilometres from Malmo centre via the Oresund Bridge and the Kastrup approach).

Malmo's coach market is shaped by this dual role: as an independent Swedish city with its own corporate and tourism base, and as an overflow and transport hub for Copenhagen events, concerts, and conferences. The city also has a strong university population (Malmo University) and an established creative and food scene centred on Möllevångstorget.

Oresund Bridge and Cross-Border Transfers

The Oresund Bridge (Oresundsbron) connects Malmo (Lernacken interchange) to Copenhagen Airport at Kastrup and Copenhagen city centre. The bridge carries road traffic on the upper level and rail (Oresundstag) on the lower level. Coach toll applies: rates for coaches are significantly higher than for cars, currently around 900 to 1,100 SEK (or equivalent DKK) per crossing for a standard coach. Journey time from Malmo central station area to Copenhagen Airport is approximately 25 to 30 minutes by coach; to Copenhagen city centre (Kongens Nytorv) approximately 40 to 50 minutes. The bridge is open 24 hours and coaches cross freely within the Schengen Area.

Turning Torso, Stortorget, and the Western Harbour

Turning Torso (Lilla Varvsgatan 14, the Western Harbour district, 2 kilometres north-west of the city centre) is the most distinctive building in the Malmo skyline -- a 190-metre twisted residential skyscraper designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2005. Coaches park on Sundspromenaden or Dockan on the Western Harbour approach. Stortorget (the main square) and Lilla Torg (the cobbled old square, 300 metres south of Stortorget) are the city-centre focal points for group visits; coaches access via Hamngatan or Gustav Adolfs Torg. Malmohus Castle (the oldest surviving Renaissance castle in Scandinavia, 700 metres west of Stortorget) is a major heritage site.

Connectivity: Copenhagen Events and Oresund Region Groups

For groups attending Copenhagen concerts, conferences, or sporting events, Malmo hotels are frequently used as base accommodation due to lower prices (typically 30 to 50 percent below equivalent Copenhagen hotels). We provide shuttle coaches from Malmo hotels to Copenhagen venues: the Royal Arena (Copenhagen, approximately 40 minutes), the Parken Stadium (approximately 45 minutes), and Copenhagen Congress Centre (Bella Center, approximately 40 minutes) are all achievable by coach.

What Bus Hire Costs in Malmo
