INLAND TOWNS
In the heart of Zealand lie Hillerød and Fredensborg, two small towns built around magni-
ficent - and very different - royal residences. You're free to roam the ornate rooms and
soaring towers of the castle at Hillerød, whereas the interior of the more modest palace at
Fredensborg is only open in July - the rest of the year, it's the beautiful lakeside gardens
that are the main draw.
