Jonathan had a day off, so we decided to go to Malmö for the day, the third-largest city in Sweden located in the southern tip of the country. It is just over a 30 minute ride on the train from Copenhagen's Central Station. The train goes over Öresund Bridge, an almost 8km long bridge (the longest bridge in Europe) that takes you across the ocean.
We got to Malmö in no time, and after lunch, which was not so great, we started exploring the city. There were beautiful squares, waterfronts, parks, and historic buildings, and vibrant pedestrian streets with shops. It was very walkable, and a little bit like Copenhagen but in a smaller scale. We totally enjoyed our stroll.
Not only Malmö is beautiful, but it is also known for its sustainability. Apparently, Malmö is one of the most sustainable cities in the world. They already have a district that runs on 100% renewable energy, and by 2030, the whole city will run on 100% renewable energy. That is pretty impressive.
After walking around the city center, we found a nice playground by the beautiful library, and let Mio play there a bit, and took the train back to Copenhagen. Unfortunately I don't have a "proof" that I have been to Sweden, as you don't need a passport to go to Malmö. Oh well. It was a fun day trip.
