Trains leave Malmö C, stop at Triangeln and Hyllie, cross the Øresund Bridge, then call at CPH Lufthavn before København H. Daytime trains are often 15 to 20 minutes apart, though the pattern changes by time and date.

DSB also sells Øresund tickets, priced in Danish kroner. Öresund ticket prices are fixed, with no advance discounts. Seats cannot be reserved, so sit where you like. Buy a valid ticket before boarding: Öresundståg does not sell tickets on the train. First class is optional, and you can upgrade by card with onboard staff. A standard bicycle needs its own ticket between Malmö and Copenhagen. Space is limited and cannot be reserved, so if the train is full you will need to take the next one. Folding bikes count as hand luggage. ## Identification when crossing into Denmark Carry valid identification. Danish police carry out periodic random checks on passengers entering Denmark, on board or at a station. Öresundståg says these checks should not affect the timetable. ## Where to book ### Train tickets - Omio Omio connects you with over 1,000 transport providers - trains, buses, flights, and more - to simplify your travel planning.
