Kronborg is known as Hamlet's Castle in all the bus tour pamphlets because Shakespeare set his classic tragedy here and called it Elsinore. And as you approach it from the parking lot and walk through the expansive courtyard, you do get a foreboding sense of drama and the echoes of the Bard's words. I decided to take a half-day tour...

Kronborg having such a steep history in war and fires didn't have a lot of original contents to highlight. A lot was "imagine this"...

I like the info you get about every day life at the castle. The castle itself has a lot of history worth reading about and the place itself is impressive. The exhibition on danish trade and shipping is very informative and surprisingly grand! More

This is a 'proper' castle with moats which was turned into a palace and then used by the army for... More

Easy trip by train from Copenhagen and 15 minute walk from station.Include a look at the Chapel as... More
