FAQ

How to get to Lund?

We recommend taking the train as it is both fast and convenient. Trains depart from CPH airport to Lund C every 15-20 minutes. The travel time is 35 mins.

CPH airport’s train station is located straight ahead after exiting the baggage claim area, inside the terminal.

Trains depart to Sweden from platform 1 at CPH airport. All trains from CPH airport to Sweden call at Lund C.

Travelling by car/taxi will incur a 50 USD toll bridge fee which means that taxis are very costly for this trip (ca. 200 USD).

You need a Skånetrafiken ticket for Öresundståg trains to ‘Lund C’ (Sweden). Tickets can be purchased on the Skånetrafiken app – remember to activate your ticket before boarding the train if you purchase in advance (do not activate the ticket immediately if purchasing days in advance). Some foreign phone numbers may not be compatible with the app, so check the app words before you board the train.

There is free wifi on all trains and busses.

Physical tickets can also be purchased at the airport, but make sure to use the free-standing ticket machines with the Swedish flag on them, and not the DSB machines in the corner. DSB machines are for Danish destinations (there is a ‘Lund’ in Denmark – please don’t travel there).

Please also note that the silver-colored SJ trains are bullet trains with their own ticketing system.

The conference venue at AF Borgen (‘Academic Association Castle’) Sandgatan 2, 223 50 Lund, Sweden is located in the very center of Lund, next to the cathedral.
