"I love living in the heart of Copenhagen, but I also enjoy getting out of the city now and then. So, when the sun is shining on a weekend morning, I’d recommend packing a thermos of coffee, picking up a delicious cardamom bun or a BMO from the nearest bakery, and taking the train to Klampenborg Station. From there, you can take a lovely walk through the forest to the Hermitage Palace (Eremitageslottet) in Dyrehaven - and if you go in autumn or spring, the forest is especially beautiful! In the summer, open-air theatre performances take place in Ulvedalene, which is in the same forest area - it’s a truly unique and spectacular experience for both young and old!"
And what if you want to go further?
"If you have time for a slightly longer trip, take the train to Fredensborg. I’m from that area myself and have walked around Fredensborg Palace more times than I can count. If you're lucky, you might even spot the royal family, as they reside in Fredensborg at certain times of the year. If you continue through the park down to Esrum Lake, you’ll come across Sørup Ice Cream & Coffee House, a charming little café. On summer evenings, there’s a great atmosphere and a long queue for ice cream - and don’t forget your swimsuit, as you can take a dip in Esrum Lake right outside the ice cream shop!"
