Did You Know?
The Øresund link runs about 16 kilometres from Malmö to Copenhagen — roughly 8 km of bridge, then an artificial island, then 4 km of tunnel, because a bridge all the way would have interfered with Copenhagen airport's approach.
The clock: both ends keep UTC+1, so around 20,000 people commute across an international border each day without so much as adjusting a watch.
