Experience two countries in just half a day on your own private trip from Copenhagen to Malmö. Your Local Danish host meets you at Copenhagen Central Station, and together you take the smooth 40 minute train ride across the Øresund Bridge. Your round trip ticket is included.
In Malmö, your host leads a private two hour walk through the city’s most charming areas, including colourful Gamla Väster, the King’s Garden and the historic Malmöhus Castle. You’ll hear the stories of how Malmö was once part of Denmark, how the city became Swedish in the 1600s, and how shared history and friendly rivalry still connect the two countries today.
After the walk, you enjoy a classic Swedish fika at a local café, with coffee and a pastry included. You can then decide whether you’d like to stay and explore Malmö on your own or travel back to Copenhagen together with your host. If you choose to return with your host, the whole private experience takes around four hours from start to finish.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet inside Copenhagen Central Station, in the middle of the main hall beneath the large clock—a classic meeting spot for locals and visitors. The clock is right next to the 7-Eleven.

Malmohus castle (Pass by)
Malmöhus Castle (Malmöhus Slott) – On your private tour, we pause outside Malmö’s historic castle, the oldest surviving Renaissance fortress in Scandinavia. Built in the mid 1500s under Danish king Christian III, it has served as everything from royal residence to prison. Today it forms part of Malmö Museum and is surrounded by a peaceful moat and green parkland. We do not enter the castle, but even from the outside it offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s past.
