Getting to Sweden by Car or Rail

The opening of the Öresund Bridge in the year of 2000 has made non-stop travel between mainland Europe and Sweden a reality.

By car or rail via the Öresund bridge

The 16 km/10 mile bridge and tunnel links Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, with Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, and takes both car and rail traffic.

A one-way ticket across the bridge for a car shorter than approx. 18 feet costs SEK 325 ($53/£27/€34). Direct rail services to other cities in Sweden, including Stockholm, also operate across the bridge.

For more information on the bridge and the Öresund region, see their website, link on the left. 
 

By rail from the UK

The fastest rail route from the UK to Sweden is via the Eurostar service through the Channel Tunnel from London (St. Pancras) or Ashford International (Kent) to Brussels, with onward trains to Copenhagen for connecting services to Sweden. Through trains operate from Copenhagen to destinations in Sweden via the bridge and tunnel across the Öresund strait.
