Air travel
The closest international airport to Lund is Copenhagen Airport (also known as 'Kastrup'), in Denmark. The train journey from the airport to Lund takes approximately 35 minutes. The journey takes you over the Öresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, and via Malmö Central Station.
Train tickets can be bought at the Skånetrafiken ticket machines in Copenhagen Airport's arrival hall. These are located near the escalators leading down to the train platform.
You can pay with a debit or credit card. If you buy a ticket to Lund, it is valid even if you have to change at Malmö Central Station. You can also use the Danish DSB ticket machines when travelling with Skånetrafiken, but a DSB ticket is slightly more expensive. A third option is to download the Skånetrafiken app and buy a ticket there.
Please note that there may be passport control at the first stop (Hyllie) on the Swedish side. Always carry a valid passport or identity card when travelling between Denmark and Sweden.
