On July 25, 37,669 registered passengers crossed the Øresund Bridge.

This is the highest single-day total ever recorded on the route.

Summer holiday travel caused a major surge in cross-border traffic.

Many foreign residents in Copenhagen travel to Sweden for work or shopping.

Weekend trips to Malmö are popular due to lower prices in Sweden.

Heavy traffic can cause long delays at the bridge toll stations.

Trains across the strait can also become crowded during peak hours.

Remember to bring your valid passport and Danish residence card when traveling.

Sweden conducts regular border checks on people entering from Denmark.

Non-EU residents must show proper identity documents at the border.

Missing documents can cause serious delays or denied entry.

Try to travel outside peak hours to avoid long queues.

Early morning or late evening crossings are usually much faster.
