Departure by train:
Please note that from May and throughout the summer, there will be track work affecting public transport between Hillerød and Copenhagen (in both directions). As a result, trains will not run as usual, and replacement buses will be in service. This may lead to slightly longer travel times. We recommend checking the travel planner if you plan to use public transport. We apologize for the inconvenience!
