Stay cheap in Lund when traveling to Copenhagen

Are you planning to visit Copenhagen this summer? Then it's smart to stay in Sweden's oldest city Lund instead and travel by train in just 50 minutes without changing from Lund to Copenhagen. The currency difference alone means that you save 30 percent on food and accommodation, but you save even more because the price situation is so much higher in Copenhagen than in Lund. Since Lund is one of the largest university cities in the Nordic region, there are many high-class restaurants. Lund's over one thousand-year-old viking age city center is small and cozy and has many hotels within a short walking distance from the train station. On the page about how to travel to and within Lund, there is also information about how to travel to and from Denmark.
