The town of Frederikssund stands on the coast of the Danish island of Zealand, just 3 miles from Copenhagen and is connected to the capital's suburban commuter rail network.

Frederikssund itself stands in a scenic spot on the eastern shore of a fjord. You can drive across the fjord to the Hornsherred Peninsula on a bridge or walk the entire shore on a well-marked path. On the far side of the fjord visit Jægerspris Castle, a former romantic Royal hide-away.

There are eye-catching beaches and marinas and don't miss the Færgegården open-air local history museum or the Jens Ferdinand Willumsen museum.
