I am going on a work trip to Lund, Sweden at the end of March. The company already bought me a plane ticket to Copenhagen as Lund doesn't have an airport and the nearest Swedish airport, Malmö, has no direct connections to Helsinki.

The website of the Swedish Railways sj.se says the easiest way to get from Copenhagen Airport to Lund is the Öresundståg. The cheapest tickets cost about 179 SEK per direction which is well within my budget.

Should I buy the tickets to Öredunståg in advance or wait until I actually go on the trip? My boss, who has made this trip from Helsinki via Copenhagen to Lund several times before, said he just bought the tickets directly from the railway station when he got there. Should I do the same too?

If I buy the tickets directly from the railway station, how do I go about it? I have been on the Öresundståg before, but that was a time when I was travelling on InterRail and I just hopped on the train and marked its number and departure time on my InterRail card. Are there some kind of ticket offices or automatic ticket machines at Copenhagen Airport railway station and Lund railway station?

According to https://www.oresundstag.se/reseinfo/kopa-biljett all the Swedish stations served by Öresundtåg, as well as Copenhagen Airport and Copenhagen Central Station have ticket machines. Presumably they work with cards or payment apps on smartphones, and as this is Scandinavia it's unlikely that the machines take cash. Or you can buy the ticket online on their website, so you don't have to worry about it at the station. According to the same website, it's not possible to buy tickets onboard. --Ypsilon (talk) 16:13, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This was of much help. It was easy to find the ticket machines at Copenhagen Airport. I did not have to visit Copenhagen Central Station at all. On the way back, I did not find a DSB ticket machine at Lund Central station but I did find a Skånetrafiken ticket machine and it sold tickets to Copenhagen Airport. The machines don't accept cash but they accept card payment. I bought a printed ticket at both times, and sure enough, the ticket inspector came on the train and said "Nya resande?" I just showed him my ticket, he scanned it, and that was all. The boring part on the trip is that it's pretty much impossible to photograph the rather spectacularly impressive Öresund Bridge while you're actually on the Öresund Bridge.

I want to travel somewhere that is warm, has mountains and isn't a very long flight from the UK. Can you suggest somewhere? Asked by: 143.210.42.225 12:02, 13 May 2025 (UTC) Lillie[reply]

At what time of the year should it be warm? May? Also, just how long a flight is OK? I'm thinking, the south of France can be very hot in the summer, but of course they have the Alps, too, and one side of the Pyrenees. Italy has the Alps and Apennines; Spain has the other side of the Pyrenees. For that matter, you could consider Turkey or any number of Balkan countries, etc. Or Morocco, which has the Atlas Mountains. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you can travel straight away, consider staying in the UK and visiting Snowdonia National Park or Cairngorms National Park. The forecast for the next week is good, with highs of 18-22C in both areas (warm, but not hot) and not much rain.

If you want to go further, consider what you will be doing in the mountains, your budget, and where you can fly to from a nearby airport. Most mountains in Europe that are south of the UK will be warm or hot June-August. Austria or the Tatras in Poland are worth considering in addition to the earlier suggestions.

Ticino, the warmest and southernmost Swiss canton, has spectacular Alpine scenery, so that could be a consideration, too. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How to travel to Las Vegas, while being car-free? Is there any bookstores I can visit to? Asked by: 2600:1700:78EA:450:75E5:23D1:5B65:DBB4 05:58, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak fully for how to truly explore Las Vegas without a car, but in general you can walk around the strip reasonably on foot, depending on the weather. Our guide on travelling in the US without a car may be of some help, though I'll admit the direction it gives on cities is still somewhat vague. //shb (t | c | m) 06:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The strip is walkable (though distances tend to be farther than they look), and if you're planning to spend most of your time there you may be better off without a car, since its traffic is notoriously bad. There are buses between the airport and the strip, between the strip and downtown, and between the airport and downtown. Rideshares (Lyft, Uber) are also an option. Assuming you'll be arriving by plane, our Harry Reid International Airport article has advice for getting to and from the airport. The Las Vegas monorail is somewhat useful for getting around the strip but is overall a bit disappointing in how few attractions it serves conveniently.

As for bookstores, there are some downtown, notably including the Gamblers Book Club which focuses on books related to gambling. See Las Vegas for more info. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:46, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've never visited Las Vegas, but a YouTuber who goes by City Nerd lived there for like 3 years without a car and biked around. I believe they have a bikeshare program. It's a desert climate and can be very hot, though. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
