Denmark: Cashing in on Sweden's Eurovision

Denmark: Cashing in on Sweden's Eurovision

By BBC World Service

As Malmö receives the keys to this year's event, we look at how Copenhagen in Denmark could be the real economic winners - without having to pay for it.

When the Swedish city last hosted the competition in 2013, officials estimated around a third of overnight stays were in the Danish capital.

We speak to officials in both cities - just 30km apart and connected by the Øresund Bridge - to examine what fans can expect, and explore how other nations around the world get in on the action when a neighbouring country hosts a global event.
