Our second Saturday we took the Oresund bridge to Sweden. Sadly, a Dane told us that the

highest point in Denmark is actually on this bridge, right before it crosses into Swedish territory. Malmo is the first city across the bridge, and it turned out to be a delightful place to spend a Saturday. The train is quick and easy and the town is rather like Copenhagen but a bit cleaner and better geared towards tourists.

We wandered around the pedestrian shopping streets and visited the modern art museum and the old fortress complex, which actually Denmark built since this area used to be Danish. The fortress has extensive grounds (as it

used to be a castle) that were fun to wander through, and then we got some dinner and enjoyed the live music and mini-donuts that were a part of the local outdoor Christmas market.
