Getting There
-
Public Transport
Regional trains from central North Zealand, such as Helsingør, connect frequently to Espergærde station, a notable transit hub in the area. From the station, visitors can either enjoy a walk of around 20–25 minutes through suburban neighborhoods or take a short local bus ride toward the museum; bus fares for a single ticket generally cost 24–36 DKK within local zones. Look out for bus stops marked with 'Museum' or 'Flynderupgård' signage. Service schedules are regular on weekdays but more limited on Sundays and public holidays.

Taxi
Taxi journeys from central North Zealand towns like Helsingør or Humlebæk usually take 10–20 minutes depending on traffic and start at 120–180 DKK. Taxis can drop passengers directly in front of the farm entrance. Note that availability may be lower on weekends or during major events.
-
Driving
Reaching Flynderupgård Museum by car is straightforward from regional centers north of Copenhagen, with routes passing through recognizable villages and fields. Free parking is available at the farmstead, but spaces can fill quickly during festivals or markets, so consider arriving early during peak times. No tolls are charged for this approach.
