The coastal city of Malmo is not only the third largest city in the whole of Sweden, but also boasts one of the busiest ports in the world. Once known for its role as an industrial powerhouse in the southern Øresund region during the 20th century, the city has evolved into a hub for Nordic art with prestigious schools dedicated to the teaching of theatre and music. The Øresund Bridge, opened in the new millennium, connects Malmo to the mainland of Denmark and its capital of Copenhagen. The award-winning structures covers the 5 miles across the chilly waters of the Øresund strait, a narrow channel between the North and Baltic seas on which the port of Malmo sits. Though facilities at the check-in terminal are limited, passengers will find that embarking and disembarking from the arriving ferries are handled quickly and smoothly. Only one passenger route currently sails from the port. The Finnlines service leaves the harbour a number of times each day, heading the long, nine-hour route south towards Germany and the small town of Travemünde.
Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck located at the mouth of river Trave into Lübeck Bay. Travemünde arose out of a stronghold placed here by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, in the 12th century to guard the mouth of the Trave, and the Danes subsequently strengthened it. It became a town in 1317 and in 1329 passed into the possession of the free city of Lübeck, to which it has since belonged. Its fortifications were demolished in 1807. Travemünde is an old seaside resort (since 1802) and Germany's largest ferry port on the Baltic Sea with destinations to Sweden, Finland and other baltic countries. Annually, some 1 million passengers pass through the Travemünde Skandinavienkai ferry terminal as the starting point or destination of their trip across the Baltic Sea. The terminal is also the contact point for a number of impressive cruise ships from all over the world.
