So, it's my first time in Denmark and Scandinavia... What would you recommend. I arrive there Thursday night and out Sunday night. I'll be with some Danes, but I just wanted to know what specific things I should hit so I not only look a little smart, but so that I don't constantly rely on them to "plan my program"...
If you want to have a full on "Castle" day, I would recommend taking the train up to Helsingor to see Hamlet's castle and then take the train over to Hillerod to visit Frederiksborg Castle which is truly spectacular and contains the wonderful Danish Museum of Natural History - essentially, the history of Denmark told in art. The trains from Helsingor to Hillerod are not as frequent but you can still time it well. Then it's just a commuter train from Hillerod back down to Copenhagen.
I agree that the Resistance Museum is well worth a visit. Copenhagen's a wonderful city for strolling. Enjoy!
