The Øresund Bridge is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe, stretching nearly 8 kilometers across the strait.
The bridge's design incorporates a cable-stayed section with a main span of 490 meters, supported by pylons reaching 204 meters in height.
The viewpoint is situated on the reclaimed land of the Lernacken peninsula, which was used for the construction of the bridge project.
Peberholm, the artificial island visible from the viewpoint, was constructed to act as the transition point between the bridge and the Drogden Tunnel.
The bridge carries the E20 European route and the Øresund railway line, facilitating international transit between Scandinavia and mainland Europe.
The Öresundsbron Viewpoint in Limhamn provides the closest land-based vantage point for viewing the Øresund Bridge, the combined railway and motorway bridge connecting Malmö, Sweden, to Copenhagen, Denmark. The site is situated at the edge of the Sibbarp recreational area, facing the bridge's Swedish approach span and the artificial island of Peberholm. It is a popular spot for observing both the bridge's industrial architecture and the maritime traffic entering the Øresund strait. The site is adjacent to the Luftkastellet event venue, a former coastal fortification. Visitors can access the waterfront path, which offers an unobstructed line of sight toward the bridge pylon structure. The viewpoint is part of the larger Limhamn waterfront development, which transformed former industrial limestone quarry areas into parkland.
The elevated grassy bank near the stone-paved pathway provides a clear, unobstructed horizon view of the bridge pylons.
Bring binoculars for a detailed view of the bridge's structural cables and the traffic crossing the strait.
The area is highly exposed to coastal winds; bring a wind-resistant jacket even in summer.
Walk further south along the shoreline path to find quieter sections of the beach away from the immediate viewpoint crowds.
Attempting to access the bridge's restricted construction zones or the tunnel entrance area, which are fenced off for security.
