Excursions from Copenhagen
Bakken amusement park
Located in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen and accessed by S-train C to Klampenborg, the Bakken amusement park provides an attractive and low-cost alternative to Tivoli. The oldest amusement park in Europe is open daily from March/April to August, most days staying open 1200-2400. It boasts wooded parkland and herds of deer as well as the usual roller-coasters and rides. Admission to the park is free and all rides are charged at different prices, although it is possible to get a single one-day 'ticket' for all the rides in Bakken in the form of a wristband.
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
This museum is set in lovely parkland, on the North Zealand coast, 35km (22 miles) north of Copenhagen. It houses a world-class collection of modern art by artists such as Francis Bacon, Max Ernst, Giacometti, Henry Moore, Picasso and Andy Warhol. Humlebæk-Louisiana Station is a 36-minute train ride from Copenhagen. Drivers can take the picturesque coastal road, Strandvejen. The museum is open Tues-Fri 1100-2200, Sat-Sun 1100-1800.
