How to get to Malmö on a budget
Lots of people visiting Copenhagen chooses to go by train to Malmö. It´s easy and lots of departures every day from central locations. However it is not the most economical way to pass the famous bridge to Sweden. And if you want to enjoy the beautiful sights of the Öresund on your crossing a ride by bus can be a better alternative.
What are the alternatives to cross the bridge?
The bus line 999 from Hovedbanegården (Central station) no longer runs due to the covid pandemic, and the line will probably not be restarted.
So we have Flixbus, and here you can make a great deal if you find a departure that fit your needs. In fact, As low as about 50 dkr for a crossing is possible, and you can also continue north to Helsingborg (or why not Gothenburg) on a budget.

Get across for free by hitchhiking
According to the experts: The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. So take the metro to the station Lufthavnen / Copenhagen Airport, leave the terminal on the other side of the metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the end, next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil. Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop were the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place to hitchhike from.
By the way, it is not allowed to walk or cycle across the bridge.
