The Øresund Region (Danish: Øresundsregionen [ˈøːɐsɔnsʁekiˌoˀnn̩]; Swedish: Öresundsregionen [œːrɛˈsɵ̂nːdsrɛɡɪˌuːnɛn]), also known as Greater Copenhagen for marketing purposes, is a metropolitan region that comprises eastern Denmark and Skåne in southern Sweden. Centred around the Øresund strait and the two cities which lie on either side, Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmö in Sweden, the region is connected by the Øresund Bridge, which spans the strait at its southern end, and the HH Ferry route between Helsingør, Denmark, and Helsingborg, Sweden, at the narrowest point of the strait. The Capital Region of Denmark and Region Zealand constitute the Danish side, while Scania constitutes the Swedish side. The region has a population of 4,002,372 (2018) and a population density of 192/km2 (500/sq mi).Since the Treaty of Roskilde of 1658, Scania (Swedish: Skåne) has been subordinate to the King of Sweden, except during the Scanian War (1676–79) and briefly in 1710, but it only became a province of Sweden under the Treaty of Stockholm 1720 (dated 3 July 1720). From 800 to 1658, Greater Copenhagen was united under the flag of Denmark, although in the early years Denmark sometimes had several local kings. In recent years, part of the population has stressed Scania's regional identity again.The Øresund Region consists of both rural and urban areas. Areas on the periphery of the region have a relatively low population density, whereas the two metropolitan areas of Copenhagen and Malmö are two of the most densely populated in Scandinavia. Helsingborg also forms an important urban hub on the Swedish side.

Peberholm (Danish pronunciation: [ˈpʰe̝wɐˌhʌlˀm] lit. 'Pepper Islet', Swedish: Pepparholm (Swedish pronunciation: [²pɛparˌhɔlm])), is a small artificial island in the Danish part of the Øresund strait, created as part of the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark with Sweden. Peberholm lies approximately 1 km south of the small natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet), and was named to complement it. It has an area of 1.3 km2 (320 acres) and belongs to Denmark.

The Øresund or Öresund Bridge is a combined railway and motorway bridge across the Øresund strait between Denmark and Sweden. It is the second longest bridge in Europe with both roadway and railway combined in a single structure, running nearly 8 kilometres (5 miles) from the Swedish coast to the artificial island Peberholm in the middle of the strait. The crossing is completed by the 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) Drogden Tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager. The bridge connects the road and rail networks of the Scandinavian Peninsula with those of Central and Western Europe. A data cable also makes the bridge the backbone of Internet data transmission between central Europe and Sweden. The international European route E20 crosses via road, the Øresund Line via railway. The construction of the Great Belt Fixed Link (1988–1998), connecting Zealand to Funen and thence to the Jutland Peninsula, and the Øresund Bridge have connected Central and Western Europe to Sweden by road and rail. The bridge was designed by Jørgen Nissen and Klaus Falbe Hansen from Ove Arup and Partners, and Niels Gimsing and Georg Rotne.The justification for the additional expenditure and complexity related to digging a tunnel for part of the way, rather than raising that section of the bridge, was to avoid interfering with air traffic from the nearby Copenhagen Airport, to provide a clear channel for ships in good weather or bad, and to prevent ice floes from blocking the strait. Construction began in 1995, with the bridge opening to traffic on 1 July 2000. The bridge received the 2002 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.

Drogden is a channel through Øresund. The trench is located on the Danish side of the Øresund, between Saltholm and Amager. The road and railway connection between Denmark and Sweden passes below it in the Drogden Tunnel. The maximum depth for ships to pass is 8 meters. Drogden is heavily trafficked, and about 30 000 ships pass per year in the fairway.

Saltholm (Danish pronunciation: [sæltˈhʌlˀm]; Salt Islet) is a Danish island in the Øresund, the strait that separates Denmark and Sweden. It is located to the east of the Danish island of Amager in Tårnby municipality and lies just to the west of the sea border between Denmark and Sweden. It is 7 km long and 3 km wide, covering an area of 16 km2, making it Denmark's 21st largest island. Saltholm is very flat; its highest point stands only 2 m (6 ft) above sea level, rendering it vulnerable to flooding if persistent east winds cause a tidal surge in the Baltic Sea. It is a relatively new landmass in geological terms, having risen from the sea about 4,000 years ago due to post-glacial rebound, and is surrounded by a large area of shallow water (of 2 m depth or less) that covers an area of 28 km2 (11 sq mi). A series of islets, inlets and rock deposits from the last ice age appear at the south end of the island. Its neighboring island to the south is the artificial island Peberholm (Pepper Islet), which is a part of the Øresund Bridge and was named to complement Saltholm.

Skanör Church (Swedish: Skanörs kyrka, also known as the Church of St. Olof, Swedish: S:t Olofs kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church at Skanör in Vellinge Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden.

Skanör is a town in Vellinge Municipality and part of the conurbation Skanör med Falsterbo in southwestern Scania, Sweden. City facilities include hotels, restaurants, a harbour, a medieval church and an elementary school. A greenbelt called Skanörs vångar will be a new residential area in Skanör.

Lernacken is a mostly artificial cape in the Öresund, the sound between Denmark and Sweden. Lernacken is located in the southwest of Malmö (Skåne) between the suburbs Bunkeflostrand and Limhamn. The area lacks mostly of vegetation, the sparse vegetation consists mostly from shrubs and small trees. Since the early 20th century overburden materials from the nearby limestone quarry Limhamn were deposited. The material consists mostly from siltstone and flint, which contains fossils. Typical fossils are belemnites, crinoids and several kinds of flint nodules. According to the SGU (Geological Survey of Sweden) is the age of the paleozoic rocks 65.5–61.1 Ma. The overburden was transported with two narrow-gauge railway, which were build only for this purpose. Later in the 20th century were also industrial wastes deposited. Very important for the international traffic is the toll-station on Lernacken, where fees for the use of the Öresund Bridge must paid, no matter if the traffic comes from Danmark or Sweden. Because of the construction of the bridge environmental movements demonstrated on Lernacken the "Stoppa bron" (Stop the bridge) movement was well known. 1952 was a lighthouse build on Lernacken which operated until the inauguration of the Öresund Bridge in 2000. Today, prominent on Lernacken is the sculpture Movement meter for Lernacken which was built in 2000.The area of Lernacken suffered from a severe anthropogenic modification, nevertheless it's now part of the Bunkeflo Strandängar nature reserve. Within this area are living around 450 species of birds, amphibian and insects. Most prominent bird in this area is the Northern lapwing.
