Hotels near Malmö Sturup Airport
Malmö Centralstation
The Flygbussarna covers the 28 km from Sturup to Centralstationen in about 40-45 minutes, with departures coordinated with flight times.
Best for: Those who want the Flygbussarna terminus a few steps from the room, with trains to Copenhagen from the same station.
- Bus terminus a few minutes' walk from both hotels, handy on the way back too
- Direct trains to Copenhagen and the rest of southern Sweden from the same station
- A transit area tied to the station, busier and less lively in the evening than other neighbourhoods
- No direct rail link from Sturup: the bus remains the only public option into the city
Recommended hotels
- Radisson Blu Hotel Malmö On Östergatan, about 500 metres and 5 minutes on foot from Centralstationen; among the closest options to the Flygbussarna terminus. View availability
- Clarion Hotel Malmö Live About 300 metres from Centralstationen, in the complex that also houses the Malmö Live concert hall; sky bar on the 25th floor. View availability
Triangeln
The Flygbussarna from Sturup only stops at Centralstationen; from there Triangeln is one more train stop 3 minutes away, or 15-20 minutes on foot.
Best for: Those who prefer a residential neighbourhood with shops and restaurants, while still staying a short walk from a railway station.
- Triangeln station 3 minutes on foot from the hotel, handy for getting around the rest of the city by train
- Triangeln shopping centre and neighbourhood restaurants within walking distance, with less through-traffic than Centralstationen
- From the airport bus you need a change at Malmö C, awkward with heavy luggage
- Further from the old town's historic monuments than the station area

Frequently asked questions
Q. Is it worth using Copenhagen airport instead of Sturup?
It depends on available connections: Copenhagen-Kastrup can be reached from Malmö by train in about 25 minutes via the Öresund Bridge, often with more flight options.
Q. Can you pay cash on public transport in Malmö?
Almost never: in Malmö, as elsewhere in Sweden, public transport tickets are bought by card, the Skånetrafiken app or Swish; many drivers no longer accept cash even for small amounts.
Q. Is Malmö close to Denmark?
Yes, connected to Copenhagen via the famous Öresund Bridge, one of the longest bridge-tunnels in Europe.
Q. Is it worth renting a car instead of the bus to reach Malmö from Sturup airport?
For anyone just heading into the centre, the bus remains the more practical and economical choice; a rental car makes sense mainly if you then want to cross the Öresund Bridge to Copenhagen or explore Scania independently, something the public link doesn't allow with the same flexibility.
