For many, a trip to Copenhagen will likely revolve around eating and drinking in the city’s coolest restaurants and bars or hitting up local shops for some of the best design labels in Europe. Maybe a day trip to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art could be on the itinerary, too. But between the heart of the city and this renowned museum, there’s an entire coastal stretch that most travelers ignore—but shouldn’t. A 30 to 60 minute train ride from Central Station will take you to Michelin-starred restaurants, world-class museums, and wellness hotels that can add exciting layers to a typical trip to Copenhagen. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, the region is perfectly suited for a dedicated visit. Here’s how to do it right.
