Getting There
Public Transport
From Copenhagen’s central station, board a train toward Malmö Central, passing beneath the iconic Øresund Bridge. Trains are frequent and the journey takes around 40 minutes. One-way tickets for adults are typically SEK 130–150. Arriving in central Malmö, the museum is a short walk from Malmö Centralstation—head in the direction of Malmöhus Castle. International visitors should ensure they have their passports for the border check. The area around Malmöhus features paths through green parks and gardens, making the final approach pleasant and well signposted.
Taxi
A taxi from central Copenhagen to the museum in Malmö is convenient but more costly, with fares starting at around SEK 900–1200 each way, depending on traffic and time of day. The drive leads across the spectacular Øresund Bridge, and taxis can drop passengers directly at the museum entrance, adjacent to the castle grounds. Remember to bring travel identification for the border crossing.
Driving/Parking
Drivers from Copenhagen reach Malmö via the Øresund Bridge, for which a one-way toll applies (approx. SEK 325 for private cars). Parking is available around Malmöhus Castle and Slottsträdgården, with municipal meters averaging SEK 20–25 per hour. On weekends, parking can be in higher demand, especially during school holidays or special events.

Discover more about Red Sightseeing Copenhagen
Housed in a charismatic industrial-era structure right by Malmöhus Castle, Teknikens och Sjöfartens hus (The House of Technology and Maritime Affairs) is an engaging museum blending innovation, history, and play. As you walk through its broad exhibition halls, you encounter a wide spectrum of Swedish ingenuity, from vintage cars and motorcycles to thunderous steam locomotives, classic airplanes, and towering marine engines. The centrepiece for many visitors is the U3 submarine, a genuine Swedish Navy submersible from the 1940s, which you can explore inside to get a firsthand feel for underwater life at sea.
The museum brings to life technological evolution in both everyday and extraordinary realms: children can scramble through hands-on science experiments, try out physics-based puzzles, or climb into the cockpit of a classic airplane. Model ships, intricate machinery, and interactive digital installations make the world of invention accessible to all ages. Maritime enthusiasts can trace Sweden’s relationship with the sea through detailed displays of ships, navigation, and coastal life, while tech aficionados appreciate the exhibits on communication, electricity, and transportation.
Through a creative blend of displays, the museum addresses big themes—mobility, exploration, and discovery—keeping things accessible, tactile, and fun. Additional highlights include a quirky collection of scientific instruments, city trams, and a showcase of Malmö’s transformation as an industrial and port powerhouse. On weekends and holidays, the atmosphere buzzes with families, and the museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions and special science events, making it a dynamic destination. Its setting near Malmö’s leafy Slottsträdgården and vibrant city centre means a visit here pairs perfectly with other cultural and historic sites. Practical amenities—such as a family-friendly café, accessible facilities, and lockers—make it easy to enjoy a full afternoon of discovery.
