Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals across multiple suppliers so you can find the right vehicle for your trip. Malmö sits at the south tip of Sweden and is only 30 minutes across the Öresund Bridge from Copenhagen, making either city a good pick-up point. The region has mild summers, reliable ferry connections and easy access to the beaches of Skåne and the lakes of Småland.
