Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply seeking a memorable day trip, a trip to Frederiksborg Castle in Northern Zealand is a must during your visit to Copenhagen. And why not use the trip to explore a typical Danish midsize city while you're at it - with a local, who were born and raised ind Hillerød and have written a couple of books and a ton of articles about Hillerød and Frederiksborg Castle. The grandeur of Frederiksborg Castle is a world class experience - the stunning rooms has exquisite art and decor and a history to match. I will tell you about the great stories, triumphs and tragedies - from the coronation ceremonies to the visits from nobilites and to the great fire that destroyed the castle. I will show you some of the more unknown details from the castle - and it's stunning surroundings. Before - or - after, we'll take a stroll through Hillerøds streets and hear a little about the towns story. I look forward to give you a unique experience in Northern Zealand!
We'll embark on a 35 minute train ride from Copenhagen, passing through both parts of Copenhagen, charming cities and pretty landscapes before arriving at Hillerøds 160 years old station. From here, it will be a 20 minute walk - partly along the hills at the castle lake with stunning views, before we reach the main goal of our adventure - the grandeur of Frederiksborg Castle. This stunning building was once home to kings, but today it is a museum celebrating Danish history - the stunning rooms can be enjoyed even if you're not interested in the finer details of the history of Denmark. On our walk to the castle we might also visit the baroque gardens and the park nearby, which houses a royal bath house. After the visit to the castle, we will take a stroll through Hillerød, a typical Danish midsize town with typical houses and a cobbled town square - if you want to, we could grab lunch at one of the towns restaurants. I look forward to showing you my old hometown and the castle, a true national treasure!

We'll go by train and walk. Public busses or a taxi is possible to get near the castle if you do not want to walk in Hillerød. If you want a car with driver, I will need to know this a week or more in advance - this will be at extra cost. However, train is usually the fastest way to reach Hillerød from Copenhagen.
