From outside Sweden you can reach Lund most conveniently by flying toCopenhaguen Airport (Denark) and then taking the train from the airport to Lund. The train runs frequently and the ride takes 35-40 min. Tickets cost 140 Swedish Kronor (about 15 EUR) and can be bought from the machine or service counter in the arrivals hall. You must buy your ticket before boarding the train. A taxi costs about 1000 Swedish Kronor (about 100 EUR).  

Since the train will cross the border over to Sweden you can expect passport controls on board the train or before you board. Note that you train ticket is valid all the way to your destination.  This means you do not have to pay extra to take the bus from the train station to your hotel or to the Science Center.

Lund is a small town with a long history.  The Lund Cathedral dates back almost thousand years. At that time the area was danish and for many years Lund was a religious heart of Denmark.  Lund University was founded in 1666, after Sweden won the area.

In this medieval town streets tend not to run straight or paralell to one another, making it easy to get lost.   Although GPS and digital maps are common these days, it never hurts to be prepared and bring a printed map along:

You will need to arrange your own accommodation. There are several good hotels in Lund and , a full list can be found here.

Here are a few hotels we have had good experience with:

Hotel Lundia is centrally located by the train station, and about 15-20 minutes walk to the observatory/Vattenhallen.

Elite Hotel - Ideon Gateway.  This newly opened hotel is close to the science center (5-10 minutes walking distance), in northern parts of Lund.

Hotel Planetstaden. Not central but also within walking distance (15-20 minutes) to the observatory and Vattenhallen.
