Getting here

You can find Frederiksborg Castle in the scenic town of Hillerød.
The castle is located on three small islets in the Castle Lake, approximately 1.5 kilometers from Hillerød Station.

Train 

You can easily get to Frederiksborg by train! The S-train runs directly to Hillerød Station from central stations in Copenhagen. Plan your journey here.

From the station, there are two obvious walking or cycling routes to Frederiksborg:

  • Walk along the path by Castle Lake (Slotssøen) and enjoy the beautiful North Zealand nature.

  • Walk along Slotsgade and experience Hillerød’s vibrant main street with cozy cafés and shops.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Frederiksborg (without stops).

See the routes here.

By bus from Hillerød St.

Alternatively, you can hop on bus 301 or 302 from Hillerød St. and be dropped just a stone’s throw from the castle and museum.
Whether you arrive by long-distance bus to Hillerød Station or want to switch from train to bus, you can find your journey on Rejseplanen.

Getting there and parking by car

We offer different parking options for you! All within walking distance of the museum.

Want to pay to park, but be as close as possible?
You can park at the parking lot on Møntportvejen, about 300 m from the castle and museum. Note that the museum does not own this parking lot; please contact APCOA regarding parking and payment.

Want to park for free? Fancy a bit of a walk, but a scenic one?
From the parking lot at Rendelæggerbakken 6 (locally called Tromlepladsen), you can walk through the Baroque Garden (Barokhaven) to Frederiksborg Castle—or between the Baroque Garden and the Landscape Garden with views of the Bathhouse Castle. You’ll walk about one kilometer but enjoy one of the most impressive arrivals to Frederiksborg. And best of all: no payment needed.

Alternatively, you can park at Batzkes Bakke. From there, you walk along Castle Lake or through the lower part of the Baroque Garden to the castle.

Motorhome (RV) parking

We recommend parking in one of the two designated motorhome areas at Rendelæggerbakken 6. They offer unlimited parking and a fuel station with provisions right next door. You can easily continue on the major highways around Hillerød. See the parking area in the Park4Night app. Park4Night also indicates a smaller parking area right next to it.

From these parking spots, you step directly into the Castle Garden.

You can also check availability at the popular Hillerød Camping.

Buses (tourist coaches)

Short-term parking (drop-off/pick-up): At the entrance to Frederiksborg via Møntportvejen, there are drop-off and pick-up spaces for buses. After drop-off, buses can park on Roskildevej, where there are parking spaces specifically for this purpose! This parking option is recommended for shorter visits to Frederiksborg.
Dear driver: Please love your fellow (driver) and make room for drop-off and loading. Do not park inside the roundabout. It takes about 5 minutes to drive out to Roskildevej (approx. 2 km).

Long-term parking: Buses can also use the three purpose-built tourist coach parking spaces at Rendelæggerbakken (Tromlepladsen) behind the Baroque Garden. From there, visitors can walk through the Baroque Garden down to the castle. The walk is about one kilometer with an impressive view over the gardens and the castle. This parking option is recommended for buses with a tour guide. There is easy access to the main roads towards Fredensborg, Kronborg, and Louisiana.

3-hour bus parking: There are two spaces for 3-hour bus parking: one at the entrance by Møntportvejen at Frederiksværksgade and one on Markedsstræde. As these are limited, we recommend the other options.
