Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) to Lund

We highly recommend to reach Lund via train. Trains run from Copenhagen Airport to Lund every 20 minutes, and take around 35–40 minutes. It is very easy to purchase a ticket and board the train. The journey takes you over the Öresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden and via Malmö central station where you may need to change trains.

• Train tickets can be purchased either in the Skånetrafiken mobile app or in one of the machines.
• If purchasing from the machines, note that machines do not accept cash, so you must have a valid credit or debit card.
• Ensure that you are using a Skånetrafiken Ticket machine (as pictured) located in the middle of the hall, not a DSB machine located adjacent to the wall.
• Follow the instructions on the machine to purchase a ticket to Lund C. If you need assistance, you can ask one of the information staff in the area to help you.
• Follow the instructions on the screen in order to purchase a ticket from Kastrup airport to Lund C. Select that you want a single ticket for an adult. Select print ticket, rather than connecting to a card.
• After paying for your ticket when prompted using the card reader, you will receive a printed ticket. Do not throw away or lose this, as it is what you will need to show the conductor on the train if you are asked to present your ticket during the journey.

Please note that there may be a passport control at the first stop (Hyllie) on the Swedish side. Make sure to always bring a valid passport or ID-card when travelling between Denmark and Sweden.
