Reviewed By Tinde_K - Moscow, Russia
This place is apparently very popular amongst locals. We visited it because it's inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site "Royal par force hunting grounds". This one includes a small castle, a golf course and deer heard roaming around freely. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and it made for a beautiful walk. Wonderful place, we really enjoyed it. Arrived by car, had no problems parking.

The oldest amusement park in the world. Easily accessible by train (and walking distance from the Klampenborg train station). Free admission and then buy tickets for just the rides you want to experience. Go during the daytime and see countless families with young children enjoying the rides. It really is a kids wonderland, but there are rides for any age level. Lots of restaurants, games of chance to win stuffed toys, etc. From and American perspective, its like a County Fair, Atlantic City boardwalk, and 6 Flags, all in one, just on a smaller scale. We're grandparents, without our kids or grandkids with us , and we loved it. Just seeing the joy on the faces of the children makes your day.
4. The Hermitage
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 36 reviews
On a hilltop in Dyrehaven (The Deer Park) lies Christian VI’s Baroque masterpiece, the Hermitage Royal Hunting Lodge. The Hermitage, which was completed in 1736, was a place that the king would use as a place of respite after a strenuous hunt, and where he would entertain distinguished guests to a well-appointed lunch in a private and congenial setting.

This building, only just opened to the public after a long restoration, was used in the film A Royal Affair. The restoration is brilliant, bringing the building back to its heyday. We took a tour in Danish, having Danish companions, but the excellent guide helped us through as well. The building is only small, but the decoration on the formal floors is well worth seeing, as are the unusual devices for collection condensation on the insides of the top storey windows; we've never seen anything like this anywhere else. This is a must see, and we'd go again.

The beach was ok. There were some nice views. But the water is extremely cold. Danish people appear to swim it anyway which seems crazy. But it was nice looking.
6. Klampenborg Racecourse

Klampenborg Racecourse is a beauty among racecourses. Neighbouring The National Park "Dyrehaven", and the 400+ year old amusement establishment "Bakken" this natural grass racecourse is surrounded by huge old trees and its old Royal Grandstand. The 100+ year old saddle room is a rarity. There are also some very good racing there nearly every week from mid April to beginning of November. There is also a nice playground for the youngest visitors.
7. Hvidore Castle

Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, Massachusetts
For anyone interested in Imperial European history, particularly Danish Russo relationships, this is a must.
Hvidore Slot was the fall get away for Dowager Empress Maria( nee Dagmar of Denmark)of Russia and her sister Queen Alexander of England. The trips stopped at the beginning of WWI. After the Russian Revolution Maria retired to here and was joined afterward by her sister Alexandra. They lived there until their deaths, Alexandra in 1925 and Maria in 1928. While it is now a conference center, I was free to walk the grounds and take pictures.
8. Krathusgaard hesteudlejning

Det bedste hesteudlejningssted tæt på København. Man rider på søde velopdragne islandske heste i det nærliggende smukke Dyrehaven, der ligger en kort ridetur langs Klampenborgvej fra den hyggelige stald. Det er let at finde rundt i Dyrehaven ad de mange ridestier på egen hånd. Jeg har lejet heste der flere gange og er altid blevet behandlet godt. Man må ride på egen hånd i max. 2 timer, eller kan leje en guide til at vise vej.
9. Skovshoved Kirke

Skovshoved Kirke, opført 1914 – 1915, var fiskernes kirke, og derfor ligger den også næsten helt nede ved vandet og Skovshoved Havn.
Den er tegnet i nyromansk stil af Alfred Brandt (1873 – 1937), og er denne arkitekts hovedværk.
Alfred Brandt har også tegnet kirkens kapel, som i 1930 blev bygget på kirkens hjørne mod nordøst, og han nåede at tegne det kirken nye spir i pyramideform, som i 1935 afløste det oprindelige kuppelspir.
Kirken står indvendig i høj grad, som da den blev bygget, og er et meget smukt og renlivet rum.
Altertavlens triptykon er malet af Axel Helsted (1847 – 1907), og er et forstudie til den altertavle som han malede til Kristkirken i København.
Da de oprindelige glasmosaikker af Johannes Krag i 1965 blev udskiftet med nye af Knud Lollesgaard (1911 – 1997), gav det en del polemik i sognet, men efterhånden har man vel affundet sig med at kirken har fået moderne kunst i det ellers originalt bevarede rum.
Kirkens menighedssal ligger parallelt med kirkerummet, og de to rum kan forbindes når dørene mellem dem åbnes, således at kirken og salen bliver ét stort rum.
Kirkens organist fra 1916 – 1949 var den danske organist Poul Schierbeck.
Skovshoved Kirke et besøg værd til en gudstjeneste eller en koncert!
