I travelled from Copenhagen to Stockholm by train. I had a stopover in Malmö on the way. Both trains were very punctual. Departure 1st train at 8:14 on 02/06/2024. the second from Malmö to Stockholm at 9:17. I particularly liked the cleanliness of the trains. There was also enough comfort. The seats were nice and big and there was enough room for the suitcases. I didn't have a seat reservation, but there was plenty of free space. The service was also great. As I didn't know my way around the airport, I asked a member of staff for help. She was very friendly and competent.

Traveling by Train from Copenhagen to Stockholm: A Scenic Nordic Adventure as a Couple

Introduction

When my partner and I dreamed up our Copenhagen to Stockholm train journey last summer, we craved a romantic escape as enchanting as the Nordic cities themselves. The train promised comfort, jaw-dropping views, and precious moments together, so we booked the Öresundståg 1046 to Malmö and SJ 534 X2000 to Stockholm, a seamless trip taking just over 5 hours and 30 minutes. Here’s our love-filled guide to spark your own couple’s adventure!

Route Overview

The Copenhagen to Stockholm train route spans 522 kilometers (325 miles), offering a train time of 5 hours and 32 minutes with a 27-minute transfer in Malmö. Departing from Copenhagen Central Station and arriving at Stockholm Central Station, the Öresundståg and SJ X2000 combo is the best way to get from Copenhagen to Stockholm for its speed, comfort, and Nordic vistas that had us stealing glances at each other.

Transportation Experience

Booking our Copenhagen to Stockholm train tickets through Omio was a breeze, letting us compare schedules and operators like Öresundståg and SJ effortlessly. Our journey kicked off at 9:59 AM on Öresundståg 1046, with a quick transfer in Malmö to SJ 534 X2000, landing us in Stockholm by 3:31 PM. We eyed buses (from €52) but ditched the 10-hour slog. For couples craving cozy train time, the train is the best way to get from Copenhagen to Stockholm. Omio snagged us side-by-side seats, perfect for whispering sweet nothings. Check out Copenhagen to Stockholm buses or flights for other options.

Route Details

Departure & Arrival Stations

Boarding the train at Copenhagen Central Station (Bernstorffsgade, 1651 København) was a delight, with clear signs and charming cafés for a pre-trip coffee date. It’s a quick metro or taxi from the city center. The 27-minute Malmö Central Station transfer was smooth, with clear directions. Stockholm Central Station, a historic-modern gem since 1871, welcomed us with restaurants and metro links for a relaxed evening as a couple.

Schedule & Frequency

Our 9:59 AM Öresundståg 1046 to Malmö, connecting to SJ 534 X2000 (arriving 3:31 PM), was one of ~30 daily trains from 2:44 AM to 20:44 PM. Find your ideal train time on Omio’s train schedules.

Onboard Experience & Services

The Öresundståg was comfy for the Copenhagen-Malmö leg, with clean seats and decent Wi-Fi. The SJ X2000 stole our hearts—spacious seats, free Wi-Fi, and power outlets let us share selfies and dream up Stockholm plans. The bistro car was cute, but our picnic added a romantic spark. Large windows showcased the Øresund Bridge and Swedish forests, perfect for cuddling. Second Class was lovely, but First Class offers wider seats for extra indulgence. Clean toilets and warm staff made our Copenhagen to Stockholm train journey unforgettable.

Romantic Highlights

For couples, this trip is a love story in motion. Holding hands, sipping coffee, and gazing at Sweden’s forests as the sun shines felt like scenes from our own romance novel. Pack a journal to jot down sweet moments or plan a sunset walk in Stockholm’s Gamla Stan to keep the magic alive. This is hands-down the best way to get from Copenhagen to Stockholm as a couple!

Ticketing Advice & Budget

We snagged €115 each for our Öresundståg-SJ X2000 ticket on Omio, though prices vary by train time. Book early for deals as last-minute fares spike. Explore SJ or Öresundståg promotions and skip peak hours. Our couple’s breakdown:

Item Cost (in euros)
Öresundståg & SJ X2000 Tickets (2, booked early) €230
Coffee & pastries at station €18
Taxi from Stockholm Central €20
Total €268

Top Tips & Recommendations

  • Arrive early: Hit Copenhagen Central Station by 9:20 AM for a flirty coffee date before the 9:59 AM departure.
  • Book side-by-side seats: Ideal for sharing scenic landscape views of Sweden and stolen kisses.
  • Download a playlist: Wi-Fi can dip during the train.
  • Try First Class: Next time, we’ll splurge on SJ X2000 for extra snuggle space.

Conclusion

Our Copenhagen to Stockholm train journey, from 9:59 AM to 3:31 PM, was a romantic pinnacle of our Nordic trip. Booking via Omio, cuddling up for epic views, and savoring the Öresundståg and SJ X2000 made it magical. For inspiration, check Stockholm’s city guide or Copenhagen’s guide.
