This chapter advises how to travel between Copenhagen Airport, Malmö & and Lund city and Entry Point North by public transport and car/taxi. PUBLIC TRANSPORT FROM COPENHAGEN AIRPORT Taking the train to Malmö or Lund You can take the train (called Öresundståg) from Copenhagen Airport to Malmö Hyllie station, Malmö Central Station, Malmö Triangeln Station and Lund Central Station. Please check before your arrival which station is closest to your accommodation. The train journey takes only 20-25 minutes (Malmö, depending on your destination station) or 30 minutes (Lund). However, prolonged travel time may occur because of regular ID checks that take place at Hyllie Station in Sweden. A one-way train ticket costs 120 SEK* (to Malmö Central Station) or 150 SEK* (to Lund Central Station). You can purchase one in the Skånetrafiken app (see page 7), at the ticket booth or at the Skånetrafiken ticket machine at Copenhagen Airport before you board the train. Both credit card and cash are accepted. Please note that it is not possible to purchase tickets on the train.
