The tourist-thronged city of 60,000 is separated from the Swedish city of Helsingborg by a 20-minute ferry ride. Just an hour by train from capital Copenhagen, Helsingor basks on Denmark's North Riviera, surrounded by golden beaches and dense forest. The UNESCO-designated, Dutch Renaissance-style Kronborg Castle boasts the impressive claim of having provided the setting for Hamlet. A charming town of half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets and castles, Helsingor is easily explored by bicycle.

Temporarily closed. Kronborg is a must-see! “Hamlet’s Castle” is a magnificent experience with soaring towers, a huge ballroom, damp casemates and just 40 minutes from Copenhagen. At the narrowest neck of the sound, between Denmark and Sweden, the medieval fortress merges with the magnificent Renaissance castle and there are few sites in the world where so much drama and history is gathered in one place. Mythical hero Holger the Dane’s mighty sword meets Shakespeare’s equally mighty pen, as the spirit of Hamlet glides through the castle. No wonder this extraordinary place is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. From June to August, Kronborg comes to life! Hamlet and his family take up residence in the castle and as you explore the castle, you will tumble right into the story. The fate of Hamlet unfolds before your very eyes. This interactive live performance that will play out daily during opening hours of Kronborg Castle.
Only a short distance from Copenhagen by train to Helsingør town. Very great castle, Unesco World Heritage site and the original place of Hamlet story. The castle is renaissance style. There are royal apartments, ballroom, casemates, chapel, tapestries, fortress...There are also a café and a very nice restaurant.

You can see this church from afar but it is a sort of hidden gem with a very long and interesting history. I purchased a brochure / booklet inside and explored the grounds. Very well maintained!

This is located in the basement of the castle and it well worth the walk because of the history of the legend.
