We have only 2 days in Copenhagen but have friends who are urging us to visit Fredericksborg Castle outside of Copenhagen. I think you can get there by bus/train. How long does that take? Would it be worth it to go our 2nd day in the morning and come back to go to Tivoli for late afternoon/evening? We're traveling w/2 teens!

Hi Peggi,

Definitely go. You can easily do it as a daytrip.

It's about 40 min by train from Koebenhavn to Hilleroed

By all means, go. It's a very impressive castle. We actually saw that one and then took a train to Helsingor to see Kronborg ("Hamlet's Castle&quot and made it back to Copenhagen by 6PM, in time to spend the evening at Tivoli. Tivoli is really best seen at night. It's only semi-impressive by day, but at night, all lit up, it becomes a magical place, with some of the world's best people-watching. If your teens are coaster enthusiasts, they will be able to ride the oldest continually-operating roller coaster in the world there.

Helsinor is also a lovely little town but everything closes on Saturday afternoon and ropens on Monday.

The ferry to Helsinorborg Sweden is short but a lovely ride and fredericksborg slot looks great from the ferry.
