A Train Tale from Copenhagen to Gothenburg: My Nordic Adventure

As I sipped coffee in Copenhagen’s cozy cafés, a plan sparked: a train journey to Gothenburg, crossing the iconic Øresund Bridge. The promise of sweeping Nordic vistas and a 3.5-hour ride filled with charm was irresistible. Join me as I share my heartfelt story and insider tips. Discover why taking the train is the best way to get from Copenhagen to Gothenburg for any wanderer craving a seamless adventure.

Route Overview

The Copenhagen to Gothenburg train, run by SJ and Øresundståg, whisks you 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Denmark to Sweden in about 3 hours and 50 minutes. With trains departing every couple of hours, it’s a breeze to plan. I wondered if I should take the train or bus from Copenhagen to Gothenburg. The train’s comfort and jaw-dropping views won me over. Curious about buses? Check bus schedules from Copenhagen to Gothenburg on Omio, but trust me—the train’s magic is unmatched.

Transportation Experience

Booking on Omio felt like a Nordic breeze: a few clicks, a quick payment, and my mobile ticket was ready. I chose an Øresundståg train, drawn by its reputation for punctuality. Friends asked, “Why not fly?” But the train from Copenhagen to Gothenburg offered eco-friendly travel and the Øresund Bridge’s allure. At Copenhagen Central Station, I arrived early, savoring a cinnamon bun and soaking in the station’s lively hum before boarding.

Route Details

Departure & Arrival Stations

Copenhagen Central Station (København H) is just a lazy 10-minute stroll from the city’s heart and buzzes with energy. Its red-brick façade and cozy cafés set the perfect pre-trip vibe. Gothenburg Central Station (Göteborg C), just a 5-minute walk from the city’s vibrant Nordstan, welcomes you with modern ease. Both of the stations boast clean restrooms, luggage lockers, and clear signs.

Schedule & Frequency

With trains running every hour, I picked a 9:30 AM departure. My Copenhagen to Gothenburg train time was a punctual 3 hours and 18 minutes, with brief stops at Malmö and a few smaller stations. The ride was so smooth, and I lost myself in the scenery.

Onboard Experience & Services

Settling into my second-class seat, I was struck by the spaciousness, with plenty of legroom and windows framing the world outside. The Wi-Fi kept me connected, and power outlets ensured my phone stayed charged. Then came the Øresund Bridge—a mesmerizing stretch over sparkling waters, with wind turbines dotting the horizon. Sweden’s green fields and quaint towns unfolded like a storybook.

  • 2nd Class: 0
  • 1st Class: 78 extra Total: 506 SEK (~€47) for 2nd Class / 584 SEK (~€54) for 1st Class
