Where do you buy a ticket for the Øresund train between Denmark and Sweden?

Tickets across the Øresund

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

You can buy Øresundståg tickets on oresundstag.se, at ticket machines and in the apps of the Swedish regional transport companies, such as Skånetrafiken. In Denmark there are ticket machines at Copenhagen Central Station and at Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup). For journeys that start at other Danish stations, you buy the ticket through DSB. Tickets cannot be bought on board, and a ticket bought in an app must be activated before the train leaves.

Why

  1. You do not need to book ahead and can buy just before you board.
  2. App tickets only count once they are activated.
  3. Your e-mail confirmation works as your receipt.

Details

With an Øresundståg ticket you can take the city bus to the station up to one hour before departure and onward up to one hour after arrival.

Tip

Activate an app ticket on the platform before the train arrives, as it is not valid if activated after departure.

What may differ

Prices, discounts and refund rules depend on the ticket type and the regional company where your trip starts.

Common misconception

Many think you must book Øresundståg tickets days in advance.

What actually happens

No advance booking is needed; you can buy a ticket shortly before you board.
