For a Louisiana Museum day trip, the museum is in Humlebæk, about 35 km north of Copenhagen: 35–40 minutes by car, or 35–45 minutes by train from Central Station plus a 10-minute walk from Humlebæk station. Allow 3 hours for the collection, the sculpture park and lunch on the sea terrace. It combines perfectly with Kronborg Castle, 15 minutes further north.

Founded in 1958, Louisiana is often called one of the world’s most beautiful museums. It’s a low, glass-walled building that winds through a sculpture garden down to the Øresund, with modern and contemporary art indoors and Henry Moore and Alexander Calder outside against the sea. Even people who “don’t do museums” love it.
