Practical information

Lund University is based in the city of Lund, close to Malmö (Sweden’s third largest city) in the south of Sweden. This part of Sweden is very close to Copenhagen in Denmark.
On this site you will find all the practical information you need to make your stay in Lund as pleasant as possible.

By train

Lund is located on the main railway line from Malmö to several different destinations such as Berlin and Stockholm. It takes approximately 12 minutes to travel between Malmö and Lund by the local trains Öresundståg and Pågatåg – schedules for both types can be found on Skånetrafiken’s website. Tickets are available from ticket machines or the Skånetrafiken app.

By plane

The closest international airport to Lund is Copenhagen Airport in Denmark. The journey time by train from the airport to Lund is about 40 minutes. The journey takes you over the Öresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden and via Malmö central station where you may need to change trains.

Train tickets can be purchased from the Skånetrafiken ticket machines in the arrivals hall at Copenhagen Airport, near the escalators going down to the train platform. You can pay using a debit/credit card, and if you buy a ticket all the way to Lund, the ticket will be valid even if you need to change trains at Malmö central station. You can also download the Skånetrafiken app and pay for the ticket in the app.

Make sure to always bring a valid passport or ID-card when travelling between Denmark and Sweden.
