Copenhagen Central Station (København H) is a 10-minute walk or metro ride from the city center. It’s bustling but well-organized, with cafés and ticket counters.

The Wi-Fi was reliable for light browsing, and power outlets kept my phone charged. The train was clean, the staff friendly, and the ride so smooth I barely noticed we’d crossed a border. The bridge itself? A marvel—sea on both sides, with distant wind turbines adding charm.

No seat reservation possibleFor our day trip from Copenhagen to Malmö, we opted for the very comfortable solution of travelling by train. We started our journey early in the morning to get as much out of the day as possible. The journey time is quite short and also quite cheap. In addition, the journey across the Öresund Bridge, which connects the two cities across the water, is very impressive and also offers a great view. The toilets on the train were very clean. We were also able to reach Malmö on time. Unfortunately, I didn't check whether there was an on-board bistro.

In addition, you can enjoy the view of the Danish countryside during the journey and the train itself has a very relaxed and quiet atmosphere.
