Where each one leaves you
regional · Öresundståg (run by VR Sverige for Skånetrafiken); DSB sells the Danish-side ticketØresund train to Malmö C
From
The railway station under Terminal 3 — a train marked for Sweden (Malmö, Helsingborg, Kalmar, Karlskrona, Växjö or Göteborg), from the same platforms as the trains into Copenhagen; read the screens for the track
To
Malmö C, the central station on the north edge of the old town, via Hyllie (12 minutes, where the police check documents) and Triangeln
Luggage
Intercity-style trains with racks and space by the doors; a bicycle needs its own Øresund ticket.

24–30 min

Your Copenhagen ticket is not valid here: you need at least an Øresund ticket to or from the airport. Buy it before boarding, at the DSB machines or counter in Terminal 3, or in Skånetrafiken's app — there are no sales on the train.

Bring a passport or ID card: Sweden checks documents at Hyllie. A Nordic driving licence works for Nordic citizens; other Europeans need a passport or national ID card, and a visa where required. Without one, police may pull you off the train for a fuller check.

Two prices, two currencies, one ticket. Kr. 96 from DSB on the Danish side, SEK 150 from Skånetrafiken. Pay in the currency you are buying in; nothing here says which is cheaper, because no authority publishes a rate.

Every 15 minutes from 05:00 to midnight, then 00:25, 00:47, 01:02, 01:56, 02:55 and 03:56, every night of the week. The night trains take up to 30 minutes.

Not valid on SJ's trains to Stockholm and Gothenburg, which also call at the airport. Only the Öresundståg.

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.
