Ports

Dragor is a maritime city founded in the 12th century as a fishing town. In the 13th century it became part of the Hanseatic League. To this day lots of attractions are connected to the sea, such as the Seafaring Museum. Dragor is located 15 kilometers outside of Copehnagen, making it a great place for day trips, and easy to reach.

Malmo is a Swedish city dating back to the Middle Ages when it was an important Hanseatic trading port. It is famously connected to Copenhagen with an 8 kilometer bridge. The long history makes Malmo a nice city for a stroll. Visit the Malmo Castle, have a snack in the Lilla Torg square, relax in one of several parks and admire the gothic Sankt Petri Church.
