Getting There & Away
Direct S-train services run every 10 to 20 minutes between Copenhagen and Hillerød
(Dkr108, 40 minutes) on weekdays. On weekends you may need to alight at Gentofte sta-
tion, from where a connecting bus service continues to Hillerød; total journey time is 55
minutes.
Trains from Hillerød run eastward to Fredensborg (Dkr24, 10 minutes) and Helsingør
(Dkr72, 30 minutes), north to Gilleleje (Dkr60, 30 minutes) and west to Tisvildeleje
(Dkr60, 30 minutes); all services operate at least hourly.
Buses also link Hillerød with north Zealand towns but they are much slower than the
train and cost just as much.
Getting Around
Buses 301 and 302 depart frequently from the train station and can drop you near the
castle gate (Dkr24).
Fredensborg
Pop 8380
Small, quiet Fredensborg
is
its royal palace, plus the fairytale palace gardens that stretch
alongside Denmark's second-largest lake, Esrum Sø. The palace is only open to the public
in July, but it's worth a day out here anyway for peaceful greenery, swimming, boating and
fishing opportunities.
