The journey takes you over the Öresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden and via Malmö central station where you may need to change trains. - We highly recommend you transit to Lund in this manner, rather than taking a taxi which will be very expensive and more time consuming.

- After paying for your ticket when prompted using the card reader, you will receive a printed ticket. Do not throw away or lose this, as it is what you will need to show the conductor on the train if you are asked to present your ticket during the journey.
