Øresund train to København HorØresund train to Lund C?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Øresund train to København H reaches Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport on the metro, København H on the train — the ends of Strøget; the Øresund train to Lund C does not. Runs across the bridge and through Malmö to Lund, in Sweden — not into Copenhagen.

The Øresund train to København H is quicker: 13 min against 39 min. The Øresund train to Lund C varies between 37 and 44 minutes.

Øresund train to København H: Runs all night. Øresund train to Lund C: Runs all night.

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.

Every train from the airport toward Sweden continues to Lund C, so Malmö's timetable is Lund's: every 15 minutes by day, hourly at night, 39 minutes by day and up to 44 at night.

Buy the Lund ticket, not the Malmö one — kr. 109 against kr. 96 — before boarding, and carry a passport or ID card for the check at Hyllie.

Your kr. 30 Copenhagen ticket is not valid past the airport in this direction.
