Trains from Copenhagen to Stockholm
Copenhagen to Stockholm begins by crossing the Øresund, the strait between Denmark and Sweden, on the bridge that links the Danish capital with Malmö. From there the train turns north-east through the farmland of Skåne and the lakes and forests of Småland to reach a capital built on islands. It is the rail alternative for people linking the Scandinavian capitals who would rather see the country than fly over it.

About the Copenhagen to Stockholm train
Stockholm Central is on Norrmalm, the business and shopping district, with the city hall across the water to the south-west and Gamla Stan, the old town on its own island, a walk away over the bridges. Stockholm is spread over islands and inlets, so ferries and the metro matter as much as walking, and the district you stay in sets how much water you cross on the way to the sights. Summers are long and light; winters are dark and cold. Copenhagen Central Station, beside Tivoli Gardens at the edge of the old centre, is where you board. Pick a date and the number of passengers, and note that the results will show where any change of train happens on the way. Stockholm to Copenhagen is not linked as a page here, so run it as its own search when you need the return. The Sweden eSIM plans linked on this page cover data after you are over the Øresund, and Where to stay in Stockholm is a sample from the catalogue.
