CAR
Køge is 42km southwest of Copenhagen and 23km southeast of Roskilde. If you're com-
ing by road take the E47/E55 from Copenhagen or Rte 6 from Roskilde and then pick up
Rte 151 south into the centre of Køge.
TRAIN
Køge is the southernmost station on greater Copenhagen's S-train network, at the end of
the A line. Trains from Copenhagen (Dkr108, 45 minutes) run three to six times an hour.
Getting Around
Car drivers can park in Torvet, but only for an hour; turn down Brogade, then follow Fæn-
dediget round for less-restricted free parking off Bag Haverne and north of the harbour.
Vallø
Tiny Vallø is a deeply romantic hamlet with cobblestone streets, a dozen storybook houses
and an attractive moat-encircled Renaissance castle, Vallø Slot. Situated in the countryside
about 7km south of Køge, Vallø makes a wonderful little excursion for those looking to get
off the beaten track.
