Kronborg Castle is an absolute treasure that deserves every one of its 5 stars. Steeped in history and famously known as the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet, this castle is a must-visit destination. Walking through the halls and chambers of Kronborg Castle feels like stepping back in time. The rich tapestry of Danish history comes alive as you explore this magnificent fortress. From the imposing battlements to the intricate details of the interior, every corner tells a story. The connection to Shakespeare's Hamlet adds an extra layer of intrigue and fascination to the visit. It's as if you've stepped onto the stage of one of the most iconic plays in literary history. Kronborg Castle's location at the edge of the sea adds to its allure, offering stunning views of the surrounding waters. Whether you're a history buff, a literature enthusiast, or simply looking to immerse yourself in the beauty of Danish architecture, this castle has it all. Kronborg Castle is a historical and cultural marvel that should be on everyone's bucket list. It's a place where the past comes alive, and every moment feels like a journey through time.

Lovely experience. I visit easily takes to 1,5 - 2 hours. I would recomment to arrive at 11am when the castle is opening. If it is possible go on a weekday. There was absolutely no crowd just a few school groups. I entered with my Coppenhagen city card and it took maybe 30 seconds. I would also advisen everyone to join the short 15 minutes guided talks. I participated at 11:30 for an english program and it was very informative and intresting. I would like to thank Martin here as well beacause he was a lovely guide. You can find or ask about information regarding the talks on the right hand side after entering the courtyard. Also I would reccomend to walk up to the Cannon Tower for the amazing view. It can be a little challanging because you have to climb the 145 steps in a narrow staircase but it is worth it. Be aware that if you arrive late, the Cannon Tower closes at 15:45! It was a lovely roadtrip, I am happy I had the chance to visit the catle. PS: If you exept a Hamlet theme and stories you will be disappointed as the castle does no really have any connection with Shakespeare's character

I had visited Kronborg over 5 years ago with my family and recently, with friends staying in Scania for a while, I took the opportunity to take them, too. The castle is of course the same: there has been some maintenance here and there, but it is still the jewel from where Danish monarchs lined their polity's pockets thanks to transit duties applied to any vessel sailing in the Öresund. The big difference - this time - was that, compared to our previous visit, which included a guide taking us across the various rooms and halls, at different locations we were met by actors playing the roles of Claudius, Gertrude and, of course, Hamlet himself. They were vying in turn for the visitors' favour, and the visitors had received ballots on which they should indicate their preference for one of the three characters as the true pretender to the throne of Denmark. The actors were top class and very entertaining, and it was a joy to see how especially the children visiting were enthralled by their performance. A very enjoyable visit overall.

Kronborg Castle, Helsingør Day trip time, although we wanted to drive further but got prevented! However the stop in Helsingør was totally worth it, about 50 minutes from our place in Copenhagen, totally worth the drive! Kronborg is a castle and stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalized as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. (Source @wikipedia) A 17th century castle build by the Frederic the 2nd, for his wife Queen Sophie of Mecklenburg(he was 38 , she was 15), he was infatuated by his wife he build her the dream castle so to speak! Little anecdote, looking at the writings inside the Church/Chapel it was all in German, after I inquired about that, seems in their days the Nobility in Denmark would converse in German! Interesting! Lovely walk around the whole area, impressive! Enjoy! #thetourist #alifetimetrip #copenhagen #denmark #helsingør #kronborgcastle
