Copenhagen Travel Forum

Hello everybody !

I'm planning the next trip (Copenhagen and Malmo, May 2008) and I know that the
"Around the sound" ticket (valid for 48 hours) is a good choice in order to visit some locations in the Skåne/Oresund area.
I know exactly what can I do with this ticket and the main crossing condition (one way Oresund bridge / one way ferry to/from Helsingborg to/from Helsingør); my question is about the price (I will buy it in Copenhagen). I know that it's a Skånetrafiken offer (I think it's more valuable than a CHP card), but official information isn't quite clear : "Tickets can be bought in connection with airfare booking starting at 249 SEK (approx. 27 EUR) or at the Copenhagen Tourist Information, Denmark and at any ticket counters operated by Skånetrafiken, starting at 199 SKK".
So, please tell me how much is this ticket in Copenhagen ? Are there (airport/Tourist Information) Skånetrafiken counters ? Can I buy it in Swedish currency ?

Thank you very much in advance.

What the Swedish version of Skånetrafiken says is that the ticket will cost 199 or 249 SEK depending on where your trip starts and finishes. According to this map https://www.skanetrafiken.se/upload/.se/Bilder/Priser/Priskarta%20%D6resund%20rundt.gif it costs 249 SEK if you're planning to travel "outer parts" of Skåne.

Thank you very much; finally, I bought the ticket for 159 DKK at Copenhagen Tourist Information Center.

Awesome. Did you use the Danish or the Swedish site? (Denmark has its own site I think). Have a great time down there.

I used the Swedish site for info; the Danes promote their CHP Card and officially have no mention about this ticket. According to the Swedish site, you can buy the ticket in Denmark at the airport / main railway station / Tourist Information Center. In fact, only the Tourist Information Center sells this ticket at 159 DKK (a fair exchange rate). Finally, I bought the CHP Card too - it's a good solution to see Copenhagen (public transport, museums, Zoo are included), other interesting sites in Denmark (like Roskilde, Frederiksborg) and then Helsingor-Helsinborg (ferry), Lund and Malmo (bridge return).
I had a good time in both countries; relaxed people, nice places, superb castles, excellent railway/bus network.

I'm glad you had a good time. Now start writing some tips hehe ;)
