Check before booking. From Copenhague Airport, the train reaches Lund in about 35 minutes without changing. From Malmö, trains take about 10 minutes. High‑speed trains from Estocolmo and Gotemburgo also stop in Lund.

How many days

Half a day for the cathedral, Lundagård and Kulturen. A full day to include the Jardim Botânico and walk the old streets. Many people stay in Malmö and come on a day trip.

When to go

From April to September, with green trees, spring blooms and students in the streets. On April 30 Valborg fills the park Lundagård. In July the town is quieter because of the university holidays. Winter is usually wet and dark.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

No. Lund’s centre is walkable within a few minutes, and the train connects the city to Malmö and Copenhague. The bicycle is the students’ main means of transport.
