Gentofte

Step back in time with magnificent castles, explore elegant parks, enjoy warm summer days on the beach or appreciate the sight of tame deer in Dyrehaven.

Take a holiday in Gentofte to enjoy everything the easy way. Gentofte is ideally placed between the capital, Øresund and Dyrehaven, meaning almost no end to the area's historic sights, modern attractions and magnificent countryside. What’s more, there are also excellent beaches and the right proximity to Copenhagen – just 20 minutes away by commuter train.

If holidaying in Gentofte, get ready for time to just fly by. Breathe in the scented air and floral beauty of Bernstorffsparken at Bernstoff Slot or the lovely Øregård Park. The latter was designed in the romantic English landscape style as part of Øregård Museum. If you love parks with lots of room for sports, check out Folkeparken and its massive recreational area around Gentofte Sø.

There's even more space in Jægersborg Dyrehave, which once covered the whole of Northern Zealand in thick forest. Throughout time, the kings of Denmark have used this area for hunting, and its unique landscape was listed in 2015 on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for that reason. You can also visit Charlottenlund Fort, where the fortifications, cannons and moat are still well-preserved. Pack a picnic and look forward to a memorable day outdoors.

If you prefer the beach during your stay in Gentofte, there are plenty of options. Visit the popular Hellerup Strandpark for swimming, sports facilities and stunning floral gardens. Other popular beaches include Charlottenlund Strandpark and Bellevue. If you need the special atmosphere of a harbour, try your hand at crab fishing and take in the maritime surroundings at Hellerup Lystbådehavn, Skovshoved Havn and Tuborg Havn.

If the kids are with you, take them for a splash at Kildeskovshallens svømmehal. They can go wild on diving boards, floating figures and slides, followed by ice skating at Gentofte Sportspark, featuring its ‘ice disco’. Gentofte is also close to the big-city delights of Copenhagen.

Come and enjoy a holiday or even a weekend break in Gentofte. There's plenty to do and lots to see for the whole family.
