There are multiple ways to go from Germany to Sweden by car. Assuming the destination city is Malmö, you can go the following ways:

1.Puttgarden-Rødby-Malmö

You can reach Rødby, Denmark, with a 45-minute ferry ride from Puttgarden, Germany. From there to Malmö it takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. In season, for example, a ferry ticket for August costs around 300 EUR round trip.

2.Rostock-Gedser-Malmö

You can reach Gedser, Denmark, with a 2-hour ferry ride from Rostock, Germany. From there to Malmö it takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.

You can view ferry tickets from the link below. Since you will use the Øresund Bridge when crossing into Sweden, you will need to choose tickets that include this bridge price. The bridge pass ticket is valid for 7 days.

3.By road without taking the ferry

I chose to go directly to Sweden via Denmark via land. In terms of cost, going by road is approximately 50EUR more convenient because you need to pay a toll for the bridges listed below. Apart from that, there is no vignette on the highways of Germany, Denmark and Sweden, the highways are free.

Storebælt Bridge: It takes approximately 25 minutes to cross the bridge connecting the two large land masses of Denmark. I bought the ticket from the box office with a credit card. Round trip 1100 DKK, about 150 EUR. All the information is here:https://storebaelt.dk/en

Øresund Bridge:It takes approximately 10 minutes to cross this bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden. Round trip 910 DKK, about 125 EUR. However, it is more affordable if you buy an annual ØresundGO membership. You can cancel your membership within one year. I bought a membership and passed through the toll booths without waiting because I introduced the license plate digitally. Details are in this link: https://www.oresundsbron.com/prices

Before You Set Out

Don’t forget to have your vehicle serviced before going on a long trip. I also took engine oil and engine water with me, because in Sweden and Denmark, except for the big cities, the settlements are very dispersed and there are no auto repair shops on the side of the road.

The driver’s license you get from Germany is valid in all EU countries.

Make sure that your car insurance covers the countries you will visit. Do not forget to review the traffic rules and speed limits of the country you will visit, as northern countries are known for their high traffic fines.

To pay parking fees in cities, you can download Parkster, Easy Park and Aimo applications to your phone in advance.

To make an economical trip, you can check the gasoline prices in the countries from this link:https://www.adac.de/verkehr/tanken-kraftstoff-antrieb/kraftstoffpreise/tanken-im-ausland/
