Puttgarden Rødby plus the Øresund Bridge: ferry and bridge in one ticket to Sweden
From the German side the shortest way to Malmö and Skåne is 45 minutes of ferry to Rødby, two hours through Denmark and the Øresund Bridge into Sweden.
Scandlines sells the ferry and the bridge toll as one combination ticket, a little cheaper than paying them separately, and it is the combination we used on the way out on our own trip.
What the combination ticket costs
Scandlines listed these “from” fares on 28 September 2026, one way, for a car up to 6 metres with up to 9 people. What your date costs depends on the departure and is shown in the booking.
| Ticket | From | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Combination ticket Standard, ferry plus Øresund Bridge | 101.25 € | Puttgarden Rødby Standard ticket plus one bridge passage, in one booking |
| Combination ticket Flex, ferry plus bridge | 166 € | Same, with free changes and refunds and priority boarding |
| Motorbike, ferry plus bridge | 48 € | One way for a motorbike with up to 3 people |
| Booked separately, for comparison | about 117 € | Standard ferry 61.10 € plus the bridge online at 420 DKK, about 56 € |
Roughly 16 euros per direction, then, is what the combination saves against booking the two yourself, plus the bother of a second account and a second payment. There is no Low Price version of the combination ticket, and a return is two single combination tickets. If you already have an ØresundGO agreement for the bridge (called BroPas until 2023: 370 DKK a year, then 182 DKK per car trip), compare: with ØresundGO the bridge alone is cheaper than the online single passage of 420 DKK, and the combination ticket may not come out cheaper.

Low Price
from €48
Online only and on a limited number of departures, more often early, late, at night and on weekdays. Good value if your departure time is fixed and you reach the port with time to spare.

Check the fare for your dateStandard
from €61.10
This from-price applies if you book at least 3 days ahead, while tickets at that price last. Valid for the booked departure and any other departure with space on the same day.
Booked later or on the day, Standard costs more: compare the fare in the booking. Another day: 30 euros plus any fare difference. At the harbour from €111.

Check the fare for your dateWith Scandlines an ordinary return is two single crossings. Which ticket works out cheapest depends on your travel days and how fixed your departure times are.

Flex only comes with the bridge, not with Helsingør Helsingborg.
Check the fare for your dateWith a motorhome or caravan you can book Low Price too, with the length surcharge. It stays tied to one departure: with a caravan on the hook a delay on the motorway quickly becomes a missed ferry, and then the ticket is lost. With Standard you take the next ferry with space on the same day.
Over 6 metres a length surcharge is added, which Scandlines only shows in the booking. The measurement includes a bike rack and the drawbar. Low Price also exists over 6 metres, with that surcharge on top. Length bands, lanes and boarding for motorhomes and caravans.

Check the fare for your dateThe route: Rødby to Malmö in two and a quarter hours
Off the ferry in Rødby you are on the E47 within minutes. It runs up Lolland, through the Guldborgsund tunnel to Falster, over the Farø bridges to Zealand and into Copenhagen’s ring, where the E20 takes you to the bridge. Rødby to the Øresund Bridge is about 170 kilometres, the crossing itself is 16 kilometres (a tunnel under the shipping lane, the artificial island Peberholm, then the bridge), and Malmö’s edge is on the other side: about 195 kilometres and two and a quarter hours from Rødby without traffic. Copenhagen’s ring road at rush hour adds half an hour.
The toll is paid at the booths on the Swedish side. With the combination ticket you have paid already; follow the lanes for pre-paid or ticket holders, the booking confirmation tells you which. Passport checks at the Swedish end happen; have your documents ready.
Bridge or the Helsingør Helsingborg ferry?
Scandlines sells both combinations, and the choice is about where in Sweden you are going, not about price: the fares are within two euros of each other, and two euros should not decide it. Your destination should.
The ferry combination is described on its own page: Puttgarden Rødby plus Helsingør Helsingborg. And if you start east of Hamburg, check first whether Rostock Gedser is not the shorter way to the same bridge; Scandlines sells the same combination tickets from Rostock.
How the combination ticket works in practice
- One booking. You book the ferry departure as usual and add the bridge in the same step. The bridge passage is tied to your travel day; the booking shows the window in which it is valid.
- Changes. With the Standard combination the ferry rules apply: the next sailing with space on the same day is free, another day costs a fee plus any fare difference. Flex changes and refunds are free. Details on the page about cancelling or changing a ticket.
- Return. Two single tickets. On the way home the bridge comes first and the ferry last; the order in the booking is simply reversed.
- Currency. The whole combination is charged in euros by Scandlines. No kroner needed at the bridge.
Ferry plus Øresund Bridge: FAQ
Is the combination ticket cheaper than booking the ferry and the bridge separately?
By about 16 euros per direction at the September 2026 fares: 101.25 € against roughly 117 € for a Standard ferry ticket plus the online bridge toll. With an ØresundGO agreement (formerly BroPas) the sums change; compare.
Can I get the combination as a Low Price ticket?
No. The combination exists as Standard and Flex only. Low Price is for the ferry alone.
How long does Rødby to Malmö take?
About 195 kilometres and two and a quarter hours without traffic, including the bridge. Add half an hour for Copenhagen’s ring road at rush hour.
Do I need Danish or Swedish money?
No. The combination is paid in euros at Scandlines, and card works everywhere on the way.
