Where each one leaves you
metro · Copenhagen Metro (Metroselskabet), on a DOT ticketM2 metro
From
The metro station at the end of Terminal 3, above ground
To
Kongens Nytorv in 13 minutes (change for M3 and M4) and Nørreport in 15, via Christianshavn
Luggage
Driverless trains with open floors; busy at peak.

Three zones, not four. Zone 4 to zone 1 is a three-zone ticket at kr. 30 under DOT's ring-zone rule; the metro's own page says you pay for a maximum of three zones. The four-zone ticket at kr. 40 is valid and wasteful.
It runs every night of the week: every 8 minutes after Friday and Saturday, every 20 after Sunday to Thursday, between 01:00 and 07:00. Every 2 minutes in the peaks and 3 the rest of the day.
Journey times are Rejseplanen's: 13 minutes to Kongens Nytorv and 15 to Nørreport. Metroselskabet says "14 minutes to the centre" without naming a station; the airport says 15 to Nørreport.
This ticket does not cross the bridge. For Malmö you need an Øresund ticket from the airport, and a different train.
regional · Öresundståg (run by VR Sverige for Skånetrafiken), on a DOT ticketØresund train to København H
From
The railway station under Terminal 3 — read the screens for the track, and board a train for København H or Østerport, not one for Sweden
To
København H in 13 minutes, via Tårnby and Ørestad; Nørreport 5 minutes later, then Østerport
Luggage
Intercity-style trains with racks and space by the doors.

The same platforms serve Malmö. Trains toward Sweden and trains toward København H share the station under Terminal 3; the airport's page says to read the screens in Terminal 3 for the track. A wrong choice here ends at a passport check.
Every 15 minutes from 05:00 to about midnight, then 00:01, 01:12, 01:57, 02:57, 03:57 and 04:30 every night of the week, from the Öresundståg timetable valid to 12 December 2026.
The airport says there are no ticket sales on board and a fine without a valid ticket; buy at the DSB machines or counter in Terminal 3 or in the DSB or Rejsebillet app.
Same time as the metro to a different station: 13 minutes to København H against 13 to Kongens Nytorv. At night the metro is the shorter wait — every 8 or 20 minutes against hourly.
