Some of Malmö's busiest bus routes will be cancelled completely on Wednesday, as high-profile delegates from around 50 countries descend on the southern Swedish city for an international conference on the Holocaust. Here's how to navigate your commute.

The Malmö Forum is taking place at the Malmömässan conference centre in the southern Hyllie district of Malmö, with delegates staying at Malmö Live in the city centre, near Malmö central station.

With such an international event attended by heads of state, diplomats, researchers, experts and civil society representatives from across the world, the police have planned road closures, and public transport in many areas of the city will be temporarily paused to ensure the safety of attendees, as well as Malmö's residents and visitors.

The main road closures will be near the conference site in Hyllie and near the delegates' hotel in central Malmö – starting in some cases as early as October 9th and continuing until the 14th.

The main date to remember is October 13th, where road closures will be most disruptive. The police are expecting traffic between Malmö Live and the conference centre in Hyllie to be most affected from 8am to 1pm and 4.30pm to 8pm on the 13th, as delegates arrive and leave the conference.

Other closures will occur at Malmö's airport Sturup, and Copenhagen Airport, as delegates arrive on October 12th and leave on the 14th. The Öresund bridge may also be closed temporarily to car transport – trains across the bridge will be unaffected.

The main road closures will be the E65 road, the Öresund bridge, the Outer Ring Road (Yttre Ringvägen) and Pildammsvägen, which will be completely closed at some points during the conference. Other roads between the conference site and Malmö Live hotel will also be affected.

Bus transport will also be affected, with some of the yellow regional buses from Malmö's border municipalities cancelled completely on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th. All green city buses will be cancelled on the morning of October 13th, until the police force inform Skånetrafiken that it is safe to start running again. Skånetrafiken recommends travelling by train instead, if possible, and recommends not to travel to, from, or within Malmö on the 12th or 13th, if possible.

Train transport, including the Pågatåg commuter trains, will be mostly unaffected, but Skånetrafiken warns to expect delays and longer journeys affecting the whole region of Skåne. Police may stop train traffic if they deem it necessary. If your journey is affected by delays or cancellations, you will be able to claim compensation.
