About this school trip

Malmö shows how an industrial city can reinvent itself as a sustainable one. The Western Harbour, Västra hamnen, was once home to the Kockums shipyard. Since the Bo01 housing exhibition in 2001, the area has grown into a district of greenery, canals, sustainable homes and a seaside promenade. Towering above it all is Santiago Calatrava's Turning Torso, a residential tower whose sections twist through ninety degrees from bottom to top.

For your pupils, the district is an open-air laboratory for urban development and climate: how do you deal with rainwater, energy and mobility? Malmö is also the ideal base for studying the Öresund region. Thanks to the Öresund Bridge and tunnel, Copenhagen and Malmö sit close together, and every day large numbers of commuters cross the border. It is a natural starting point for discussing border regions, European cooperation and the differences between Sweden and Denmark.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Malmö for you and your pupils. The route runs through Germany and Denmark, with a ferry crossing and the Öresund Bridge, and we spread the drive over the day with generous rest breaks. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels safely and in a relaxed way, including across the border to Copenhagen.
