Baltic port stops

We went to the Vasa first, no line just as it was opening. It was well worth it, and I would second the recommendation to start there.

thanks to all for the valuable information.  When we travel there we will definitely go to the Vasa first

In Copenhagen, is it possible to do an inside visit to Rosenburg Castle as well as a tour of Frederiksberg Castle on your own? If so , what transportation would one have to use?  We are in port from 9-6pm.  Would like a boat cruise as well but think that we are really overdoing it.  What do you think?

Yes  - it is possible to visit both castles on your own.

It is 35 kilometers from Copenhagen to Frederiksborg Palace. The easiest way to get there is to take a train from Copenhagen central station to Hillerød and then walk to the palace. The train ride takes 42 minutes and the walk is another 20-25 minutes. (1.5 kilometers).

(Take the S-train line A to Hillerød (approximately 40 minutes from Copenhagen). From Hillerød Station you can walk to the castle or take the local bus 301 (direction: Ullerød) or 302 (direction: Sophienlund) and get off at the stop “Frederiksborg Slot”.)

The timetable for the trains can be found here:
