Northern suburbs

The center of Lyngby is walkable. For a physically fit visitor it is also possible to walk to Frilandsmuseet by following the main street. Alternatively to walk to Sophienholm or Dyrehavsbakken. Though these are several kilometers away, you may walk in the green surroundings of the Dyrehaven forest, but it would much for feasible as an enjoyable bike trip. Unlike the central part of the city, it actually does make sense to have your own wheels in the northern suburbs, as some of the attractions, restaurants and hotels are a bit out of the way of bus transportation, which while perfectly feasible, has relatively infrequent departures in the district.

Taxi. Taxis are usually lined up at the train stations of Klampenborg and Lyngby, until late in the evening. TAXINORD , +45 45 83 83 83, is the local taxi company of the area.

By train

The main mode of transport for locals is the S-trains, and while they are useful getting to and from the city center, they are not that useful to tourists as a way to get around, as they mainly cater to commuters going downtown.

Nærumbanen is a modern light rail line between Lyngby &Nærum, but it wasn't always so. It was originally build to serve thebooming industries along the Mølleå river, at the turn of the 20thcentury. Besides being the best most of transport to reachFrilandsmuseets eastern entrance, Brede Works at Brede station and theother mills along the river, it is quite scenic as it runs along theriver in a forested area. It is colloquially known as "Grisen" or The Pig in English, from the loud squeaky horn the old trains used to use frequently when crossing paths and roads.

By ship

Baadfarten (http://baadfarten.dk/). has been sailing passengers onthe Mølleå canal as well as Furesø, Bagsværd and Lyngby lakes, in theirfamous and charming white boats, for more than 100 years and besidesbeing an excellent way too see the sights in Frederiksdal and Nybro, it is a popular excursion in itself. The oldest of the 6 ferries currently sailing; Princes Alexandrine and Prince Christian was build in between 1896-1896, and thus dating back to the early beginnings, was originally driven by steam but has been modified several times and now uses a diesel engine.

The usual starting point is from the pier in Lyngby, not to far from the station and departs approx. every 40 minutes between 10AM-5PM during summer early June - mid August, from May to the end of September there is also services on weekends on the stretch between Frederiksdal and Sorgenfrivej. There are 3 regular routes.

Lyngby - Nybro - Bagsværd

Lyngby - Nybro - Frederiksdal

Frederiksdal - Furesøbad Farum

On Sundays there are also an additional service connecting Frederiksdal, Birkerød and Holte on the Furesø lake. Tickets are between 35-40 Kr, and a full day ticket can be bought for 110 Kr. The routes are plotted on the map.

By bus

In the Copenhagen suburbs public transportation is build around the railway network. Almost every bus line begins at a Station, and will usually also end at one. Due to Copenhagen's finger based structure, transportation is centred around lines going to and from the inner city, and jumping between the fingers can be a unusually cumbersome. Below is a section of the most useful buslines in the area.

169

& 179 runs the same ring route, but in opposite directions. And will get you between Lyngby & Charlottenlund stations, but it is rather slow and it may be quicker to take the s-trains to Hellerup and change to the C line to go back north.

191

Is the only option to get to the canoe rental places, and sights in Nybro and Frederiksdal. It runs twice an hour most of the day between Lyngby and Sorgenfri station.

388

is the best option for transportation between the two main attraction areas of Lyngby and Klampenborg, it stops at both stations, and runs along the border of Dyrehaven, but remember to check the schedule as it is fairly infrequent with only 2 departures per hour.

400S

Is the best option between Lyngby, Farum and Ballerup. There is no direct connection to Farum, so you'll have to switch to the S-Train in at Bagsværd station, and take the train onwards to Farum, or stay on the bus to go to Ballerup.
