"🏰Have you read Hamlet? Then you know Elsinore where Shakespeare set the scenery of the story. And in year 2000 Kronborg Castle became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and today Kronborg is one of the most important renaissance castles in Northern Europe (built in 1420). 👑If you’ve seen the movie “A royal affair” you can find the corner room at Kronborg where Queen Caroline Mathilde was a prisoner in 1772 after her alleged affair with the Kings royal physician. 🇸🇪Kronborg Castle is located in the danish town Helsingør (Elsinore ;)) which is just a 20 min. ferry ride from Sweden. 🚂There’s a train going directly from Copenhagen City Centre to Helsingør every 15 min. 🗼You can climb the 148 steps in one of the towers and have a 360 degree view of the city as well as Sweden. 🗽Included in a ticket are a visit to the crypts and catacombs beneath Kronborg Castle, where Holger the Dane sits. The statue is a legendary figure in Danish Culture - do you dare to visit him? ⏱️Opening times: Nov to April: tue-sun 11am-4pm May to Oct: every day 10am-5pm 💸A day-ticket is €16 (during summer months it’s €19) "
"Kronborg Castle, immortalised as 'Elsinore' in Shakespeare's Hamlet, is a majestic Renaissance fortress perched on the Danish straits. Built in the early 15th century by King Eric of Pomerania, its strategic location commanding the Øresund Sound was crucial for controlling maritime traffic and levying the Sound Toll, a significant revenue source for Denmark.   The castle's architecture is a prime example of Northern European Renaissance style, with imposing towers, grand halls, and ornate details. It underwent extensive renovations in the 17th century under King Christian IV, who transformed it into a luxurious royal residence. Today, Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors from around the world to experience its rich history and captivating atmosphere.   "
"In the town of Helsingør, a few kilometers from Copenhagen, stands Kronborg Castle, the ancient military fortress in which Shakespeare set Hamlet, one of his most famous tragedies. Currently Kronborg Castle continues to be one of the residences of the Danish monarchs. On her honorable occasions, Queen Margherita receives her international guests here, honoring them with a stay in the fascinating Castle. 📍Distance: 50km 👣How to get there: take the direct RE train to Københavns Station in Copenhagen and get off at Helsingør station (journey time 55 min).
