Is there a night train from Stockholm to Copenhagen?
Which night train serves Copenhagen and what to check before booking.
Short answer
Yes, Snälltåget's night train between Stockholm and Berlin calls at Malmö and Copenhagen on the way, and the company is adding departures for winter 2026/27. It does not run every day, so check Snälltåget's calendar for your date. A day train also runs between Stockholm and Copenhagen.
Why
- Snälltåget describes its night train as running Stockholm-Malmö-Copenhagen-Hamburg-Berlin.
- According to Snälltåget, it will add departures of this night train in the low season, mainly winter, after a procured night service by another operator on the same route ends after summer 2026.
- Snälltåget says it serves Berlin and Hamburg 220 days a year, so the night train does not run daily.
Details
Snälltåget said in November 2025 that the exact winter 2026/27 offer would be presented in spring 2026, so confirm dates and times on its site. A daytime alternative is Snälltåget's day train, which in its 2026 timetable leaves Stockholm C at 10:43 and reaches København Syd at 16:46. For the other night trains in the country, see the night trains guide.
Tip
Carry valid ID when crossing into Denmark, as explained in travelling to Denmark without a passport. Book early for the date you want.
What may differ
Availability depends on the season and the date: the night train gets more departures in winter, and not every day has one.
Common misconception
The night train from Stockholm to Copenhagen disappeared when the state-procured service ended.
What actually happens
Snälltåget says it is adding departures of its own night train on the same route for winter 2026/27, after the procured service by another operator ends after summer 2026.
