Taxis from Helsingør’s city center reach the museum in under 10 minutes, and fares usually range from 80 to 120 DKK depending on time of day and traffic. Taxis can drop passengers directly at the museum’s main entrance, making this the most convenient choice for families or those with limited mobility.
