Local train (departures every 15-20min) from Central Station or NA?rreport S-Tog.
Some 45km north of Copenhagen, on the coast facing Sweden, is
HelsingA?r
, one of the most popular day-trips from the capital. Most people head straight for the dramatic fortress of Kronborg, the "Elsinore Castle" of Shakespeare's
Hamlet
, but there's also an atmospheric old quarter in the small town centre - for in-depth information, contact the
tourist office
(June-Aug Mon-Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 9am-noon; Sept-May Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-1pm; tel 49 21 13 33,

), just opposite the train station. The town is also a busy port, with 24-hour ferries bringing in hordes of Swedes from Helsingborg looking for (to them) cheap Danish booze. Note that the Copenhagen Card is not valid for entry to Kronborg. Other useful information
