How to get to Helsingør
The 40 minutes train ride along the coast from Copenhagen to Helsingøris simple and scenic, but you can also go by car or even by ferry. When you are there, there are also plenty of opportunities to get around the whole Helsingør area.
Train
Helsingør is 40 minutes from Copenhagen. You can get to Helsingør by train via The Coast Line (Kystbanen) from Copenhagen Central Station, Nørreport, or Østerport, the three biggest train stations in Copenhagen. The train arrives and departs from Helsingør four times an hour, and the journey from Copenhagen Airport takes one hour.
Trains also run locally, namely two lines: Little North (Lille Nord) and the Hornbæk Line (Hornbækbanen), where there are plenty of opportunities to hop on and off at local stations and way stations.
You need to buy an additional ticket for your bicycle on The Coast Line (Kystbanen), but you can take your bicycle on the Local Train (Lokaltog) for free.
