The story
What you'll find here
Rising from the very tip of Zealand, Kronborg has watched over the Øresund strait for more than 400 years — close enough to Sweden that you can see the far shore from the ramparts. This is Elsinore, the castle Shakespeare chose for Hamlet, and its banquet halls, chapel and dark underground casemates still feel like a stage. Deep below sleeps Holger the Dane, the mythical warrior said to wake if Denmark is ever in peril. Walk the King's chambers, climb the cannon towers, and give yourself time on the sea bastions: on a clear day, the view alone is worth the trip.
