> Do both! A few years ago for my girlfriend’s 40th we flew to Stockholm, spent 3 days there then took the train to Copenhagen, spent 3 days there and flew home from there. The train takes about 5 hours. The scenery is interesting if you really really like pine forests. 🙂

The last I heard (I don’t follow the new religiously and rarely head down Skåne way) there were issues with the train. Basically there was no real infrastructure for the checking of passports after Sweden decided to temporarily (we’ll see for home long) tighten the borders, so SJ (the national train operator) decided to just stop doing trains to Copenhagen.

I just checked. They are running trains again from March 1st.
