Bay Area
We'll be flying in and out of Copenhagen for a week in November (Yes, I know, maybe not the best time to visit, but not to worry, I'll be back in the summer sometime!).
Any ideas for day/few day trips around the area? We were thinking of going up to the Helsingør area, and while there, take the ferry to Helsingborg. Maybe a day trip to Roskilde. Any other suggestions?
Helsingor and Roskilde are both excellent ideas and Frederiksborg Slot could be another good idea.
Yould could also visit Odense where you have the birthplace of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen. That is still only a couple of hours from Copenhagen and doable as a day trip.

Malmo in Sweden could also be an idea - its very close to Copenhagen and you can go there by train.
On the way to Helsingor, make sure to stop at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art... a must see!
