SJ Guide

SJ is the national rail operator in Sweden, so journeys within Sweden can be booked online on its relatively simple to use ticketing service, which is convenient, as there are significant savings to be made on long-distance express journeys.
SJ now also sell tickets for journeys by Snalltaget trains, but not the MTR services which compete with SJ on the Stockholm to Gothenburg route.

SJ also sells tickets for journeys by train between Sweden and both Denmark and Norway.

On this journey

Good to Know

Final destination: Göteborg, Kalmar or Karlskrona

All trains also call at: CPH Lufthavn/Copenhagen Airport

Departing from Kobenhavn/Copenhagen:

These trains call at Østerport and Nørreport stations before they depart from København H station

If you will be heading to Malmo 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.

Osterport station is a few minutes walk from statue of The Little Mermaid.

At peak times these trains can be very busy so finding seats available in 2nd class is not guaranteed if you board at København H station.

The trains will call at two other stations in Malmo prior to arriving at the city centre station - Malmo C

The Journey:

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 2 - 3 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 and it is unique travel experience with an undeniable wow factor!

Hence its inclusion on the Daily Telegraph's list of Best Train Journeys that can be completed in a day.
