WE WILL BE SPENDING A FEW DAYS IN COPENHAGEN NEXT OCTOBER AND WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A TRAIN OR BUS TO SKANE IN SWEDEN, OUR ANCESTRAL HOME. WHERE WOULD THE TRAIN LEAVE FROM AND CAN WE GET THERE AND BACK IN A DAY? WE ARE A MATURE-AGE COUPLE AND NEED THIS TO BE A SIMPLE OPERATION.
B. AND S. SKANE, PORT MACQUARIE
The capital of Skane County is the city of Malmo, and getting there from Copenhagen is simple if that's what you're proposing to do. Trains take barely 30 minutes to make the journey between the two cities via the Oresund Bridge and they leave at about 20-minute intervals throughout the day. In Copenhagen, trains depart from Köbenhavn H Station, also known as Copenhagen Central.
You'll want to see something of Malmo when you get there and one way to do this would be to take the Rundan Sightseeing tour stromma.se/en/malmo of the city's canals. The tour departs from Norra Vallgatan, opposite Malmo's Central Station, however it only operates until early October each year. If your visit falls after that date your best option would be to make your way to the Malmo Tourism Office, located within the city's central station, and find out what tours might best suit your needs. The official visitor website for Malmo is malmotown.com/en.
