Copenhagen to Malmo by train

If that is the case then Rome to Rio/Omio doesn't have all the facts and relevant information. It is (almost) always advisable to cut out the middle man and buy directly from the operator/transport agency in charge. In this situation, that is Skånetrafiken. I'd recommend their app.

I (and others) have attempted an answer the other questions you are asking on the other thread you made on the topic. Maybe I'm not catching if there is something else you want us to clarify?

Btw I recommend checking out Lund too/instead of Malmö, as Lund is considered to have more charm.

Hello broccolihaar, the all knowing person that you are! Yes, I had asked about trains to Odense from Copenhagen. I took your advice and I did get train tickets (orange ones at that). Now, I thought it would be simple to get more tickets from DSB for Malmo, but there is nothing there. I will try the other site you suggested. How much further is Lund vs Malmo? Believe me, I cannot thank you and all those on this website that "like magic" seem to know all the answers and know exactly what I am looking for.

Great to hear! Hope you'll get a good and smooth holiday.

I undestand the confusion. DSB isn't in charge of these trains, they are run only by the Swedes (and thus Skånetrafiken is in charge).

No benefit to booking ahead on the Copenhagen-Malmö-Lund route. Just buy and activate the ticket when you need to go. No seat reservations either. Lund is just 10-15 minutes further. If you get a 24 hour ticket Copenhagen-Lund, you can also get off in Malmö on the same ticket (available in Skånetrafiken's app).

Again, broccolihaar, a million thanks. So what I understand from you is I can buy a ticket for Malmo and Lund at Norresport. If I get the 24 hour ticket to Lund, I can go from Copenhagen to Malmo to Lund and back to Copenhagen and I don't have to get an advance ticket. Do I have that right?

You're welcome.

Almost correct.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think Skånetrafiken have ticket machines at Nørreport (but they do at Copenhagen Central Station).

DSB's ticket machines at Nørreport can sell you a ticket to Malmø or Lund, but they don't have the 24 hour option and their group/family discount structure is different. So I'd recommend using Skånetrafiken's app if possible.

You can use Omio. The reason people say not to is because it's a third party ticketing site and people here believe that buying third party is always significantly more expensive than buying straight from the vendor, but that isn't true. Certainly a good idea to compare prices but there's no safety reason not to use Omio, it's fine. That being said, like commenter above said, no need to buy tickets to Malmo ahead of time.

Thank you C and broccolihaar for the information and advice. I always trust these forums and I have never been steered in the wrong direction. C-I will check the prices at Omio and broccolihaar, I will check the price differences. Thanks a million times over!

It's true that comparing prices won't hurt anyone. Omio may be competitive on price in other countries, but I have never seen Omio be cheaper than DSB on domestic journeys in Denmark and cheaper than Skånetrafiken when crossing Øresund with them.

Copenhagen-Odense:

• DSB: 329 DKK fixed maximum fare. 25% discount for youth and seniors. "Orange" tickets from 89 DKK. Optional seat reservation 30 DKK.

• Omio: 399 DKK fixed fare. No youth/senior discounts. No "Orange" tickets. Seemingly does not offer seat reservations.

Copenhagen-Malmö:

• Skånetrafiken: 150 SEK. 24 hour ticket option. 20% discounts when two or more people travel together.

• Omio: 158 SEK. No discounts for travelling together. No 24 hour ticket option.

broccolihaar strikes again! I haven't even had time to go back and compare prices! LOL! Thank you AGAIN for even doing that for me! It's skanetrafiken for me! A million thanks for your help and time!
