Getting There
-
Public Transport
From Copenhagen’s central station, board a train toward Malmö Central, passing beneath the iconic Øresund Bridge. Trains are frequent and the journey takes around 40 minutes. One-way tickets for adults are typically SEK 130–150. Arriving in central Malmö, the museum is a short walk from Malmö Centralstation—head in the direction of Malmöhus Castle. International visitors should ensure they have their passports for the border check. The area around Malmöhus features paths through green parks and gardens, making the final approach pleasant and well signposted.
-
Taxi
A taxi from central Copenhagen to the museum in Malmö is convenient but more costly, with fares starting at around SEK 900–1200 each way, depending on traffic and time of day. The drive leads across the spectacular Øresund Bridge, and taxis can drop passengers directly at the museum entrance, adjacent to the castle grounds. Remember to bring travel identification for the border crossing.
-
Driving/Parking
Drivers from Copenhagen reach Malmö via the Øresund Bridge, for which a one-way toll applies (approx. SEK 325 for private cars). Parking is available around Malmöhus Castle and Slottsträdgården, with municipal meters averaging SEK 20–25 per hour. On weekends, parking can be in higher demand, especially during school holidays or special events.
