    Helpful. Never had in issue in the past found it to be great. Only likely to be in Malmö and Copenhagen for a day each rest of the time fairly rural.

    We certainly don't hat motorists, there are a lot of lovely museums to visit, i don't know if they still do them but during summer months free city tours start at eleven am and last for quite a while. The public gardens are lovely.

    Unfounded; I recently passed through Malmo and had no problem parking a 7 metre motorhome in the city centre at 7pm on Saturday evening. And it was free.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Seafood is a much better bet; lashings of it, dirt cheap and as fresh as you can get.

    Recently they seem to have put up motorway style crash barriers on ordinary single lane, light traffic roads in the middle of nowhere, making overtaking impossible and avoiding straying elks harder!

    I think they have free overnight motorhome stops too.
