Carey –

Great day trip. We wanted to get a taste of Sweden but were short on time. Schedule allowed, 90 min in helingsor, 15 min ferry ride, 90 in Lund and 60 min or so in historic square of malmo, a photo stop at turning torso, and a photo stop the bridge back into Denmark. Great schedule. Just enough to explore. Areas all felt very safe. Our particular bus, didn’t have charging ports so make sure to charge up before the trip. There was free WiFi on the bus but I didn’t use it. The tour company had a commentary. They provided headphones, make sure to keep track of them, they are useful the whole day to hear about different tidbits of history. Bathrooms - no bathrooms on the bus. Seemed like most people would use a restaurant’s toilet during one of our stops in the towns. I think malmo had a public toilet near the bus stop. Tour guide, was very kind and warm. Perfect representation of the beautiful people of Denmark.

Exploring the castle was so much fun. At the end of the tour we stopped at a place to see the sunset, it was perfect. We had a good amount of time in each place. The only down side was the ports to charge our phones weren’t working.

Full description

Take a guided day trip from Copenhagen to the historic cities of Malmo and Lund in neighboring Sweden. Visit Hamlet's Castle, enjoy free time in Helsingør, take a boat ride across the Øresund, and explore the Lund Cathedral, before shopping in Malmo. Start your day of adventure by meeting your local guide in front of the Grand Hotel. After a short meet and greet, hop aboard your comfortable vehicle and set off on your day trip. Start your tour with a visit to Hamlet's Castle. Shortly after, take a scenic drive down the coastal road of Strandvejen and arrive in the charming old town of Helsingør, also known as Elsinor. Enjoy free time to stroll the streets of this beautiful city before boarding a boat to Sweden. Set sail across the Øresund, traveling to the shores of Sweden. Upon arrival in Sweden, drive down the picturesque country roads to the ancient city of Lund. Visit the Lund Cathedral. Behind the Cathedral there is a chance to explore the tiny streets with houses that date back to the 1700s. Continue with a trip to Malmö with free time to do some shopping.
