   How to get to Lund

 
Arrival by plane

There are two airports close to Lund: Malmö-Sturup Airport (Sweden) located 30 km south-east of Lund and Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, (Denmark) about 25 km south-west of Lund, see the map.

From Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, (CPH) to Lund

As you may see from the air, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is next to the bridge over Öresund between Copenhagen (on the Danish side) and Malmö (on the Swedish side). From Kastrup trains crossing the bridge to Malmö-Lund (Öresundstågen) leave from platform 1 every 20 minutes (at night, between midnight and 5:00 a.m., only ones an hour). The trains make a stop in Malmö. Some of them continue then directly to Lund. However, on others you have to change train set in Malmö (to purple commuter trains called Pågatågen). The travel time from Kastrup to Lund is about one hour. (The time between Malmö and Lund is about 10-15 minutes.) A one-way ticket (ask for a ticket to Lund) is approximately 90 DKK or 120 SEK (i.e., about 13 euros) and are sold at the ticket counters before going down the conveyor belt to the trains. Most credit cards are also accepted. For an additional fee of 50 SEK, you can buy the ticket on the train.

From Malmö-Sturup Airport (MMX) to Lund
From Sturup Airport, there is a bus (Flygbussarna) to the centre of Lund (approximately twice an hour). A one-way ticket, bought on the bus, is 95 SEK. The bus takes about 30-35 minutes. A 20-25 minutes taxi ride into Lund is about 400 SEK, but be sure to reach an agreement with the driver about the price before you take a taxi. There are unfortunately some non-serious drivers. Most taxis accept credit cards (sometimes for a minor additional fee).
