BRIDGING THE GAP
Skr225/440/880) is the planet's longest cable-tied road and rail bridge, measuring 7.8km
from Lernacken (on the Swedish side, near Malmö) to the artificial island of Peberholm
(Pepper Island), south of Saltholm (Salt Island). From the island, a further 3km of under-
sea tunnel finally emerges just north of Copenhagen airport.
Local commuters pay via an electronic transmitter, while tolls for everyone else are
payable by credit card, debit card or in euros, Danish or Swedish currency at the Lernack-
en toll booths.
An alternative option is to catch a commuter train to Copenhagen (Skr105), an easy
35-minute trip from Malmö and a good excuse to explore Denmark's so-hip capital.
Eating
Malmö isn't short on dining experiences, whether it's vegan grub enjoyed in a grungy left-
wing hang-out or designer supping on contemporary Nordic flavours. You can even eat
well at the foodie kiosks in Centralstationen. But for sheer atmosphere, head to the
restaurant-bars on Lilla Torg.

Have a mosey around the warren of atmospheric rooms here before you bag your table, or
head out to the pretty patio. This is a serious-about-coffee cafe with freshly ground
(Fairtrade) beans, plus plenty of sweet and savoury goodies. You may just stay for a while;
it's that kind of place.
