Getting to Malmo from Copenhagen

If you're visiting Copenhagen, it's a really good idea to cross over to Sweden for a day, especially if you don't have plans to go up to Stockholm or visit any other part of Sweden. Malmo is a cute, quiet little city that has some interesting restaurants, a little bit of shopping, and a cool Swedish sauna that is worth visiting.

To get from Copenhagen to Malmo, the cost is quite reasonable and takes almost no time to get there. My recommendation is to go to Norreport Station or Central Station in Copenhagen and purchase a roundtrip ticket. The cost, as I remember is about 100 kroner. They'll be able to tell you what train to get on at either station, but it will be the train that says Malmo, so it's quite easy. It's the last stop on that line. It usually goes via the airport.

While you're there make sure to visit the Ribersborgs Kallbadhus, which is a Swedish sauna. The address and phone number are published in this review. Any of the travel bureaus will be able to tell you how to get there. The cost is about 60 or 70 swedish kroner and you can spend the whole day there. There are separate facilities for men and women and they have changing rooms, towels, and showers there. First sit in the steam room or sauna. Make sure you choose a sauna where you're able to look out over the Danish/Swedish channel. It's a great view. On a clear day you can see back to Copenhagen. From one of the sauna's you can see the famous Turning Torso apartment building, which is the tallest apartment building in Scandinavia. After you get really hot and sweaty, then you run and jump, fully naked, into the icy Scandinavian sea. And if you don't, the Swedes there will lecture you about how you're doing it the wrong way! It's so fun. And after you do that a few times, you feel so invigorated that you could either go run a marathon or sleep like a baby. It's a wonderful feeling and it's a good experience to try something extra specially Swedish!
