This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Oerestad, Arne Jacobsens Alle 12, Copenhagen 2300 Denmark

We cross Copenhagen harbour and then travel into Orestad. The whole suburb is new with some of Denmark's best modern architecture. After telling the story of Orestad, we travel through Vest Amager, past family homes from the 1970s, standing on long, orderly streets. Then we enter the countryside, telling our visitors about the history of Kongenlund and why it was planted.

Stop At: Dragor Havn, Gl. Havn 2, Copenhagen 2791 Denmark

Coming to Dragor we talk about the history of this pretty fishing village, including its Dutch connections and encourage people to explore it. There is time here to eat, to walk down to the sea, to visit Dragor Fort and to do some shopping in the interesting little independent shops. After this and a photo-stop to get a picture of the Oresund Bridge, we travel around the side of Copenhagen Airport, telling the story of its history, from sheep eating the grass on the runway, to today's successful gateway to the world, that handles 29 million passengers per year.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Oresund Bridge, E20, Malmo 216 30 Sweden

Then we approach Broen, The Oresund Bridge, made famous by the television series of the same name. As we cross the Bridge, we tell the story of its construction and why there is a tunnel at the Danish end. We arrive on the Swedish side at Stenoren, an area made out of compressed rubbish and then go through passport control. On our right is Bunkeflo and we tell how this little village helped change Danes' perception of living in Malmo and working in Copenhagen, so boosting Malmo's income and regenerating an industrial city.
