English: Map of the Øresund Region — on Oresund strait of the Danish Straits in Denmark and Sweden. Dansk: Øresundsregionen. Deutsch: Öresundregion.

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. Most ships en route between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea/Atlantic pass through the ports, making the Øresund one of the world's busiest sounds.
