Booking my ticket on Omio was a breeze—intuitive interface, quick payment, and a mobile ticket delivered instantly. I chose Øresundståg service.

I arrived at Copenhagen Central Station early, grabbed a coffee, and navigated the clear signage to my platform with ease.

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. Malmö Central Station (Malmö C) is equally convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Malmö’s old town. Both stations offer luggage storage and clean restrooms.

Onboard experience & services

I traveled in standard class, and the seats were spacious with large windows—perfect for soaking in the Øresund Bridge views. 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.

For 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.

This train journey through Scandinavia convinced me on all levels, for a really good price you can travel comfortably from Copenhagen to Malmö by train in under 1 hour. The trains in Denmark are extremely well and comfortably equipped, hygienic, have rest, sleeping and dining cars and have extremely competent and friendly staff. 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.
