NOTE: As of March, the Swedish rail service announced construction work on the train tracks over the wedding weekend. Trains trips on Saturday and Sunday will take longer and require changing trains to get to Malmö / Copenhagen / Stockholm. Please factor this into your travel planning!
Step 1 - Get to Scandinavia
Fly into Copenhagen, Denmark. The airport is CPH.
It's also possible to fly into Stockholm, Sweden (airport ARN) but Copenhagen is closer to the wedding location!
Step 2 - Get to Alvesta
Take the train to Alvesta, Sweden. Which train you take depends on where you're coming from...
From Copenhagen:
Catch an Øresundståg ("Or-uh-soonds-tow-g") train from any of the big Copenhagen stations – Copenhagen Central, CPH airport, or Nørreport. You want to catch the one toward Växjö ("Veck-hwuh"). One leaves every hour or so. These are commuter trains and they do not require seat reservations or pre-booking, just tickets. You can't buy tickets on board the train. The easiest way to buy tickets is via the Skånetrafiken app – info here.
From Stockholm:
From Stockholm airport, you can get to Stockholm Central Station by taking the Arlanda Express train – info & tickets here.
From Stockholm Central, you take an SJ high-speed train to Alvesta. These tickets have to be booked in advance, and they come with reserved seats. You can book tickets on the SJ site. Note: the tickets are only released a few months in advance, so if there are no available trips showing on the SJ site yet, please check back closer to June!
Step 3 - Get to the venue, "Vapenmagasinet"
Vapenmagasinet is outside of Alvesta, in a little place called Moheda. The only way to get there is by car or taxi.
On the wedding day, there will be a bus to bring people from Alvesta to the venue – and back again, for those staying in Alvesta! We will collect sign-ups for the buses close to the day of the wedding.
For those who will drive their own cars, there is parking at the venue.
We know that many of you are coming from far away, and you will likely want to make the most of your time in this part of the world. So if you’re interested in going somewhere before or after the wedding, we have collected some suggestions below!
Copenhagen
Denmark’s capital is only a few hours away from the wedding location, reachable by commuter trains that depart every hour. CPH is a fun city, with a relxed vibe and plenty of interesting architecture and design to enjoy.
Stockholm
Sweden’s capital is also just a train ride away, reachable by high-speed trains (book them at sj.se ). STHLM is built on a series of small islands, and you can spend a scenic day or two crossing between the islands and checking out the majestic old buildings.
Anywhere else in Europe
Been wanting to check Paris off your bucket list? Roam in Rome? Go all-in in Berlin? From both Copenhagen and Stockholm you can find (often cheap) flights to anywhere in Europe.
