About
Ferry travel in Skåne
The island of Ven
The little island of Ven sits in the Öresund between Sweden and Denmark, reached by a short passenger ferry from Landskrona. Cars are limited, so most visitors arrive on foot or by bike and explore its lanes, cliffs and the museum on the site of Tycho Brahe's 16th-century observatory. It's a popular day trip in summer, when sailings are most frequent. Our guide on taking a bicycle on a ferry is worth a look, as Ven is best seen on two wheels.
