Drive over the Öresund Bridge

The road and rail bridge (and partly tunnel) across the Øresund Strait is one of the symbols of both Denmark and Sweden. The Øresund Bridge connects the two countries.

There is no extra charge on top of the normal ticket when travelling over the bridge by train or bus, but if you travel over the bridge by car, there is no toll.

There are four ways to pay:

  1. At the toll gate (you can pay by card, Danish kroner, Swedish kroner and euros).
  2. Through the Brobizz mobile app by entering the number plate and card - you do not need to stop at the toll gate, payment is automatically taken when the number plate is loaded as you cross the bridge

By train

There are direct rail connections to Sweden from Denmark, Norway and Germany.

From Denmark

There are very frequent lines across the Öresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö, running up to once every 10 minutes during the day.

Most services run between central Copenhagen and Malmö, where they connect to other lines around Sweden, but direct trains run up to twice an hour from Copenhagen to Gothenburg and several times a day to Stockholm.

All trains from Denmark to Sweden always stop at Copenhagen CPH airport.

With the exception of the Copenhagen - Malmö connection, where ticket prices are always the same, it is worth buying train tickets at least 1 month in advance to keep the price as low as possible.

  • oresundstag.se - All direct connections between Denmark and Sweden
  • sj.se - compared to the website above, also offers connections with transfers

How long, how often and at what price do trains run between Denmark and Sweden?

Route Price Travel time Frequency
Copenhagen - Malmö 162 sek 40 minutes 4-6 times per hour
Copenhagen - Gothenburg 544 sek 3h 50min 1x per hour
Copenhagen - Stockholm from 819 sek

Copenhagen - Lund 195 sek 55 minutes 4-6x per hour
Copenhagen - Helsingborg 264 sek 85 minutes 2-4 times per hour

Cheaper but less frequent connections are usually offered by buses, see information below.

From Norway

Direct trains from Norway cross the border with Sweden at 4 different points.

The most used connections are from Oslo to Gothenburg and Stockholm. Significantly fewer trains run between Trondheim and the border station of Storlien, where you change trains to Åre and Östersund.

There are also direct trains all the way north between Narvik in Norway and Kiruna and Gällivare in Sweden.

However, buses are often busier and considerably cheaper on the route from Oslo to Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Buy tickets on the Norwegian and Swedish rail websites, which always offer the same connections. However, the Swedish Railways website sj.se often offers lower prices.

Route Price Travel time Frequency
Oslo - Stockholm from 305 sek 5h 15min 5 times a day
Oslo - Gothenburg from 388 sek 3.5 hours 3-4x daily
Boden - Kiruna - Narvik from 416 sek 7 hours 1-2x daily
Trondheim - Åre - Östersund from 294 sek 2.5 hours 2x daily

From Finland

There is no direct rail connection between Finland and Sweden. The Swedish railway ends in Haparanda, from where you can cross the Finnish border by bus or on foot.

From Germany

There is also a direct overnight sleeper train from Germany, along the following route:

  • Berlin Gesundbrunnen - Hamburg Hbf - Padborg - Copenhagen - Malmö - Lund - Hässleholm - Alvesta - Nässjö - Linköping - Norrköping - Stockholm

You can buy a couchette from 1 020 sek one-way, but seated cars are also included with prices from 755 sek.

The train can cover the entire route in about 15.5 hours and you can book your ticket on the sj.se website. We recommend buying at least 3 weeks in advance for the cheapest ticket.

By bus

International bus travel often represents a saving of up to three times compared to the train. The disadvantages are longer journey times, less comfort and often less frequent connections.

However, between some of the Nordic regions of Finland or Norway, buses are the only possible cross-border form of transport.

From Denmark

Buses from Denmark are considerably cheaper than trains and there are two carriers in particular competing on the routes. Online ticket purchase and timetables can be found on their websites.

  • Bus4You.com - Swedish-Norwegian major carrier with stable prices and reliable services
