In summer (June–August) hotels fill up fast – book 4–6 weeks ahead. In autumn/winter rates drop by 30–40%.
Ferries arrive between 6:00 and 23:00. Arriving late? A ferry cabin is often the better choice than a hotel. See cabins
Almost all hotels offer free parking. Only the Palm Tree Hotel charges for its garage.
35 minutes by train, hundreds of hotels. Worth it for a city visit or when Trelleborg is fully booked.
A card is all you need – Sweden is almost cashless. Credit/debit cards are accepted everywhere (SEK).
Only the Home Hotel Magasinet includes dinner. Worth its weight in gold after a long ferry crossing!
You have just arrived on the TT-Line ferry from Travemünde and are wondering: Where do I stay tonight? This section answers exactly the questions Booking.com and the like do not – because it was written by travellers who take this route regularly.
The TT-Line night ferry from Travemünde arrives in Trelleborg between 06:00 and 07:15. That sounds early – but it is ideal for hotels: you can head straight to breakfast. The other way round: if you arrive in the evening (day ferries arrive until around 21:30), book a hotel with late check-in. The Home Hotel Magasinet and the Palm Tree Hotel have 24-hour reception. Smaller B&Bs such as Fontänens will give you a door code – call ahead!
After passport control, leave the terminal via the main exit towards town. On foot: keep left and follow Hamngatan – after 100m you reach the Home Hotel Magasinet, after 300m the Palm Tree Hotel, after 500m Stora Torget (the market square). By car: follow the “Stad / Centrum” sign, turn right at the first traffic lights. Parking is available at the hotel or free at the port (short stay). By motorhome: turn right straight onto the pitch at Dalabadets Camping – no reservation needed.
If you take the 07:30 early ferry to Travemünde, you need to be at the terminal by 06:00 at the latest. A normal hotel breakfast is out. Solutions:
Right at the ferry terminal there is free short-stay parking (max. 24h). For longer trips into Sweden without the car: long-stay parking at the station (approx. 50 SEK/day). Hotels in the centre mostly have their own parking – free at the Palm Tree Hotel, for a fee at the Magasinet. Travelling by motorhome? The pitch at Dalabadets is the cheapest (from 150 SEK/night with electricity).
A common question from first-timers. The honest answer:
Supermarkets: ICA Kvantum (Algatan, 5 min on foot, until 21:00) and Coop (Hedvägen, 3 min by car). Restaurants at the port: Restaurang Tre Knöp – Swedish cuisine, 200m from the terminal. Systembolaget (the state alcohol shop): Östergatan, Mon–Fri 10–18, Sat 10–15. Supermarkets sell no alcohol other than light beer (max. 3.5%).
Trelleborg is Sweden’s southernmost town and one of the country’s most important ferry ports. Every year TT-Line carries hundreds of thousands of travellers across the Baltic on the Travemünde–Trelleborg route. For many, Trelleborg is the gateway to Sweden – and thus the place where the first or last night of the trip is spent.
The town is compact and pedestrian-friendly. From the ferry terminal it takes 5–10 minutes on foot to reach the centre with its pedestrian zone, restaurants and supermarkets. The main railway station is right next to the port – ideal for continuing to Malmö or Copenhagen by train.
Sights within walking distance: the Viking fortress Trelleborgen, the Trelleborgs Museum, the Stadsparken and the Stora Torget. With half a day to spare, there is plenty to discover.
High season June–August: highest prices, lowest availability. The shoulder months of May and September offer mild weather at noticeably lower rates. Winter (November–March): quiet, but some smaller places are closed.
With a late arrival (e.g. 21:00), a cabin on the ferry often beats a hotel. You save money and arrive in Sweden well rested.
The terminal is so central that most places are minutes away. On foot 5–10 minutes into the centre, by car under 10 minutes to all campsites. Details on our getting to the ferry port page.

Home Hotel Magasinet (kids love the harbour view from the upper floors) or a holiday apartment with a kitchen. Campsites like Trelleborg Strand are popular thanks to the beach and play facilities.
Depends on your arrival time. Arriving before 18:00, you can explore Trelleborg for 2–3 hours (Viking fortress, old town) and then drive on. Arriving later, an overnight stay pays off – driving rested is safer, especially on unfamiliar Swedish roads.
Breakfast at the Home Hotel Magasinet starts at 06:30 – tight, but doable. Alternatively: Pressbyrån at the station (from 06:00, coffee & sandwiches, 2 min from the terminal). Tip: buy provisions the evening before at the ICA supermarket (Algatan, until 21:00).
On night crossings a ferry cabin (from €35) saves a hotel night and you arrive well rested. A hotel is worth it if you want to experience Trelleborg or take the day ferry and arrive late in the evening. Combination: outbound night cabin, return hotel + early ferry.

Yes – the Smygehus Havsbad (25 km south) offers indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, spa treatments and a restaurant. In Trelleborg itself, the Willow Hotel opens in 2026 with a 400 m² spa area including pools and steam bath. The Dannegården also has an outdoor sauna.
The Hotell Stavstensgården sits right on the Trelleborg golf club – Sweden’s southernmost course. Rooms overlook the fairways, breakfast is included, and you can squeeze in a round before an early start.
Yes, Booking.com and Airbnb list plenty of holiday apartments in Trelleborg from about 70 €/night. Especially practical for families: your own kitchen, more space and often cheaper than two hotel rooms. Our Stay22 map shows all available options at a glance.
The Willow (WorldHotels Crafted) is a new 16-storey design hotel on the Trelleborg coast, opening in 2026. 110 rooms with sea views, rooftop bar on floor 13, spa with pools, three restaurants and a historic 1850 warehouse. The town’s first luxury hotel.
Yes – Trelleborg C station is right next to the ferry terminal (100m). Pågatågen regional trains run every half hour to Malmö (35 min, approx. 8 €). From Malmö C it is another 25 minutes to Copenhagen Central across the Öresund Bridge.
Yes! At Smygehuk, Sweden’s southernmost point (25 km from Trelleborg), you can stay in the historic lighthouse hostel (from 35 €) or at the Smygehus Havsbad seaside hotel (from 135 €). The trip is worth it even without staying over – fishing harbour, lighthouse and café included.
Many travellers drive straight on from the port – but a stop is worth it. Trelleborg is more than a transit point.
Reconstructed ring fortress from 981 AD – free entry. Viking games and theatre performances in summer.
Just 15 km from the terminal: Sweden’s southernmost point with its 1883 lighthouse. Definitely stop for a photo!
Dalabadet right in town, Skåre and Gislöv ideal for windsurfers. White Baltic sandy beaches – straight after arrival.
Sculptures by Trelleborg’s most famous artist – including a statue modelled on Uma Thurman’s great-grandmother.
Gamla Torg with pastel-coloured houses, cafés and boutiques. In summer: the “town of palms” with real palm trees along the main street.
From Trelleborg station straight to Malmö (35 min) and across the Öresund Bridge to Copenhagen. A perfect base.
The new Willow Hotel (WorldHotels Crafted) offers rooms with balconies and direct sea views across 16 floors from 149 €. The Home Hotel Magasinet (100m from the terminal) has upper floors overlooking the arriving ferries. The Smygehus Havsbad at Sweden’s southern tip sits right on the beach.
A cabin on the TT-Line ferry costs from about 35 € (4-berth inside cabin). On night crossings a cabin is actually mandatory. A hotel in Trelleborg costs from 69 €. The cabin also saves a hotel night and you arrive rested – clearly the cheaper option on night crossings.
Yes. Right at the terminal there is a motorhome pitch area with 43 pitches (18 with electricity), online booking, toilets and water/waste services – from about 10 €/night. For tent campers, Trelleborg Strand Camping (3 km, beach) and Dalabadets Camping (4 km, sandy beach) are the nearest options from 20 €/night.
Definitely. Trelleborg is only 30 km from Malmö and makes an ideal stopover. Recommendation: a night at the Dannegården (from 109 €) or Palm Tree Hotel (from 79 €), visit the Viking fortress in the morning, then continue to Malmö or Stockholm at midday. The E6 runs north straight through Trelleborg.
Sweden is almost entirely cashless. Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted everywhere, even for the smallest amounts. Swedish krona (SEK) are hardly needed. Exchange-rate tip: check the SEK/EUR exchange rate (in German) beforehand – hotels and restaurants usually bill in SEK.
