Getting There & Away
Most of northern Zealand can be reached from Copenhagen in less than an hour - quicker
if you have your own transport. The Copenhagen Card can be used for many bus or train
trips in the area.
Frequent trains head northwards from Copenhagen, but take bus 388 from Klampenborg
(the last stop on the C line of the S-train system) north to Helsingør for beautiful coastal
views. Helsingør train station handles both Danske Statsbaner (DSB) trains and the
privately operated Lokalbanen, which runs a regional service in north Zealand.
The transportation system in the southern part of Zealand is also well linked to Copen-
hagen and just about all of it can be reached in an hour from the capital. This said, having
your own transport is more important down south, since the destinations are more
scattered than in the north and a good amount of the region's appeal lies in its pastoral
scenery.
If you're travelling across the region between Køge and Korsør using your own trans-
port, the rural Rte 150 makes an excellent alternative to zipping along on the E20 motor-
way.
