What Are Typical Costs and Availability in March?

March is considered shoulder season in Lyngby, meaning costs for accommodation can be slightly lower than peak summer rates but higher than deep winter.

  • Mid-range hotels: €80 - €150+ per night.
  • Hostels: €30 - €60 per night.
  • Apartment rentals: €100 - €200+ per night.

What to Expect (Crowds, Events, Conditions) in March?

Crowds are typically low to moderate in March, making it a pleasant time to visit attractions without the summer rush. While major outdoor festivals are rare, local community events or indoor exhibitions may be ongoing; it’s advisable to check the Lyngby-Taarbæk municipality’s event calendar closer to your travel date. Conditions are variable; visitors should pack layers, including waterproof outer clothing, to comfortably manage the changing weather. Most shops, restaurants, and key attractions will be open, though some seasonal outdoor sites might have limited hours or be preparing for their full spring opening.

What Are the Best Activities for March in Lyngby?

Focus on indoor activities or those less affected by the weather:

• Shopping and Dining: Explore Lyngby Hovedgade (main street) and Lyngby Storcenter for shopping, and enjoy warm beverages and Danish ‘hygge’ in local cafes.
• Sophienholm: Visit this historic manor for art exhibitions and enjoy walks in its surrounding park, weather permitting.
• Museums: While Frilandsmuseet (Open-Air Museum) typically opens its buildings later in spring, its grounds can still offer a scenic walk. Consider a short S-train ride to Copenhagen for world-class museums.
• Nature Walks: If dressed warmly, walks around Bagsværd Lake or Furesø can be refreshing.
