Good to Know
Final destination: Göteborg C
All trains also call at: Helsingborg, Halmstad
Look up this journey and you will see that is usually cheaper to take a train from Kobenhavn/Copenhagen to Malmo and then connect in Malmo for a Snabbtag train from Malmo to Goteborg.
Though these direct trains are more frequent than the journey options with a change of train.
It also looks as though the summer only service of direct Snabbtag trains fron Kobenhavn/Copenhagen to Gotbeborg/Gothenburg has been discontinued.
Rail pass users will save if they take these direct Oresundtag trains.
Departing from Kobenhavn/Copenhagen :
These Oresundtag trains call at Østerport and Nørreport stations before they depart from København H station.
If you will be heading to Gotebord from central Kobenhavn/Copenhagen, or stations on the Kobenhaven Metro - including Kongens Nytorv (the closest station to Nyhavn) - the quickest and easiest option is to board these trains at Norreport.
At peak times these Oressundtag trains can be very busy, so finding seats available in 2nd class is not guaranteed if you board at København H station.
The train journey from Copenhagen to Gothenburg:
The train will travel between Denmark and Sweden on the Oresund Line.
After departure from CPH Lufthavn the train will enter a tunnel and then emerge on to a man-made island from which it will ascend on to The Oresund Bridge.
The train will spend around 3 - 4 mins travelling across the bridge.
However, don't expect spectacular views from the bridge - though travelling across it will be a thrill for engineering fans.
Then from the left of the train there are occasional coastal views in Sweden.
Alternative route for rail pass users:
If you have a Eurail or InterRail pass valid in both Denmark and Sweden, an option is to take the train from Kobenhavn/Copenhagen to Helsingor and then take the ferry from Helsingor to Helsingborg - connecting in Helsingborg for an Oresundtag train on to Goteborg.
The optimum connections are possible if you take the trains to Helsingoer from København H station which depart at 31mins past the hour.
Eurail and InterRail passes are valid on the ferry.
