Getting There

  • Train plus Walking

    The journey from the center of Copenhagen to Malmo Live Concert Hall involves crossing the iconic Øresund Bridge aboard a frequent regional train. Upon arrival at Malmö Central Station, the concert hall is just minutes away on foot—its contemporary architecture becomes visible soon after leaving the glass-roofed terminal. This segment is a short city walk past hotels and the canal. A standard adult train ticket across the Øresund typically costs 130-160 SEK one way; walking is free.

  • Taxi

    Taxis from Copenhagen reach the concert hall after a picturesque trip over the bridge, entering Malmö at the harbor area. Expect a travel time of around 40–50 minutes depending on traffic and passport checks; the fare ranges between 900–1200 SEK, plus Øresund Bridge tolls, which may be included in the total fare. Taxis can drop passengers directly at the main entrance.

  • Car

    For those driving, the route spans the length of the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, bringing you straight into Malmö’s city core. Secure parking is available in nearby garages; daily rates average 150–250 SEK. Bear in mind that tolls for the bridge are charged per vehicle (525–660 SEK), and finding on-street parking near the venue can be difficult during peak event times.
