copenhagen harbour to Helsingor (Kronborg Castle) - how to get there?

[Jacques O]

Hi everyone,

 

i'm sailing on the Constellation to the baltic sea, calling at Copenhagen on Friday 18 July; i'm travelling with my mum.

we'd like to go to Kronborg castle, (Hamlet castle!), in Helsingor.

 

how can we get there? from our berth (Langelinie).

by bus? by train? from osterport train station?

 

is it worth it buying a one day traveler card? or the copenhagen travel card, which might include a discount for the entrance at the castle?

 

 

thanks for your tips and advice,

 

Jacques O, in Paris.

Constellation will dock Friday 18 July from 10AM to 6PM at LANGELINIEKAJ

 

From Østerport there will be trains to Helsingør (North bound) every 20 minutes at .12, .32 and .52

Departure times from Helsingør is .10, .30 and .50

It will take you 1 h 6 min from Østerport to Helsingør

Walking distances:

From Langeliniekaj to Østerport station - 0,7 km, 12 minutes by walk

From Helsingør station to Kronborg slot 1,4 km, - 25 minutes by walk

 

That will allow for a bit more than three hours at the castle.

Prices for the train

Standard ticket is DKK 108,00 one way (9 zones)

 

You can buy a 4 zone Multi ride ticket (Klippekort) with 10 tickets klip which is a total of 40 zones, for kr. 250,- at the station.

Then you have to use 5 tickets (klip / 20 zones) for out bound and 5 tickets (klip / 20 zones) going back - you can travel 2 people at the same Klippekort.

 

For Kronborg information and prices please visit: http://www.kronborg.dk/english/

I do not know of any combined train/entrance fee discount at a lower price.

Sorry I´m to late at the party, I have just returned for 6 days of festival and hasn´t got time to look at these boards.

 

 

Anyway there are some mistakes in Hallasm post.

 

there is a huge bridge work between Østerport and Hellerup.

 

So you have to take S-train line C towards Klampenborg from Østerport at XX:15, XX:35 and XX:55, you then have 10 minutes to change train at Klampenborg.

 

You will end in Helsingør 58 minutes later.

 

 

Normally it takes 46 minutes to do the trip.

Thank you so much Danish viking for the correction - forgot that the bridge work wasn't finished before July 20.

Hi, I was planning to do the Around the Sound on July 25th before my cruise. Will the bridge work be done then? Or should I do it after my cruise in August? We have a couple of nights in Copenhagen before and after the cruise.

It should be done by the 20th of July.
