Originally a fortified port, Malmö was founded in1272 and dominated the trade industry. The industrial revolution and the opening of the Oresund bridge in 2000, accelerated the business surrounding the port. Due to the presence of foreign companies and organizations in the city which provide employment to the majority of its citizens, the city bustles with culture and life.

Public transportation is preferred even for commutes of long distance due to its good coverage in the region. A thing to keep in mind is that tickets can be bought only online, vending machines or at a ticket office. You can’t buy tickets from drivers on buses and it is difficult to pay in cash. It is recommended to pay onboard using a Jojo Card. They are available at many retail stores including 7-11 and Coop stores and are preloaded with 200SEK. Credit cards are accepted by the yellow intercity buses but not the green local buses.

The railway system is also extremely efficient for transfers in and out of the city. The Öresund Line trains connect Malmö to Copenhagen and operate every 20 minutes during the day and hourly late at night. The journey takes around 35 minutes. Some of the X 2000 and Intercity trains also provide convenient and easy transfers to Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Kalmar.
