Review & FAQ:

Immortalized by William Shakespeare in his well-known tragedy Hamlet, Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on a narrow spit of land between Denmark and Sweden. The original Renaissance castle was built in 1574 as a military stronghold and played an important role in the region’s history for several generations. You can learn all about the strategic importance of Kronborg and see the opulent interior on a guided tour of the castle’s highlights, which include the Frederik II ballroom. Shakespeare fans might prefer the “Walking in Hamlet’s Footsteps” tour, which is led by a costumed Horatio and will truly bring the famous tragedy to life. The castle is located just 40 minutes by train from Copenhagen.
