Notes on geography
Locals tend to see this as a string of separate towns, usually called by the name of the nearest S-train station, but there wouldn't be much point in listing each of these separately in a travel guide, as each on its own has little to offer. Visitors should be aware though, that the suburban nature of this district means that the attractions are far between, and it could take up to an hour in public transportation traveling between Charlottenlund and Farum for instance, the names of the "towns" are listed behind the addresses in the listings
The area north of Copenhagen is served by 4 S-train lines, the western area which offer little in the way of attractions are served by lines H/C towards Frederiksund and A Farum. The area to the east where the attractions are centred are served by lines E/B Holte & Lyngby and line C Klampenborg which runs parallel the coast. For access to the Dyrehaven forest and the amusement park it is also possible, and faster, to take regional kystbanen line the coastal railway, as it has fewer stops - but be careful as some trains skip Klampenborg station.
All the S-train lines runs every 10 minutes throughout the day and every 20 minutes in the evening. the kystbanen runs every 6-14 minutes for most of the day, in the weekends and after 8PM the service is cut back to every 20 minutes. It takes approximately 15 minutes to get to Hellerup and 20 minutes to get to Klampenborg and Lyngby, the 3 main attraction areas.
By car
There are two highways leading north of city Helsingørmotorvejen route 19 starts on Ãsterbro, and runs north roughly halfway between the E/B Holte and C Klampenborg S-Train lines, just west of the Dyrehaven park to Lyngby and onwards to Elsinore. Hillerødmotorvejen route 16 starts on the outer part of Nørrebro and runs north approximately half way between the A Farum and H/C Ballerup S-Train lines to Farum, and onwards to Hillerød. Motorring 3 is a orbital highway around Copenhagen, and connects to the two highways. Strandvejen runs all the way along the Ãresund coast to Charlottenlund, Klampenborg and further north.
