I am a lover of Shakespeare; Macbeth, Othello( Denzel and Jake this year), The Merchant of Venice…read more(saw 2x on Broadway, Al Pacino playing Sherlock and also Dustin Hoffman) and of course Shakespeare in the park. Thus, visiting Kronborg Castle was a highlight. First a little history, Frederick 2nd became King and married his 14 year old cousin, Sophie. Scandal, nah, not in those days.He wanted to build a castle that would be the envy of Europe and thus he did, Kronborg. Now, there are no historical facts that confirm that Shakespeare visited this castle. It is believed, the actors who performed in his plays did visit this castle and regaled William with stories and that is how Hamlet was conceived. Next, the castle...absolutely stunning ( I would like to believe that somehow I had relatives born in this era and the castle is in my blood). There are specific points where visitors can visit: Cannon Tower( 145 steps to the beautiful scenic views and you can see Sweden from here), Castle Kitchen,Chapel, Dance Hall. There are 45 minute tours that a guide will give you an overview of Castle and a 15 minute talk about how the Castle came to be started in the 1420's. I participated in the 15 minute overview and the staff member really gave a great history; I didn't know that Sweden and Denmark were at war with each other for centuries. The grounds are magnificent; there are steps to climb to get the scenic view of the sea. There are cafes, galleries and gift shops you can visit. I spent a pretty krone on some beautiful mementos. The entire staff were wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you! I highly recommend visiting Kronborg Castle when you visit Denmark. How to get here: Fly to Denmark, take Regional Train to Helsinor station then catch bus outside station. The bus ride is 5 minutes (1st stop). Or you can walk to the Castle, around 10 minutes. Myself being a Princess, took my carriage ( Bus 353) to said castle. Cheers!

TO BE OR NOT TO BE... Alright, let's dive in!…read more We visited this magical place during our trip to Copenhagen, and it left us in awe. Purchasing tickets online was a breeze, and checking in when we arrived was seamless. From the stunning bridges to the breathtaking interiors, every part of this place was beautiful. Navigating inside was straightforward, and we were amazed by the architecture and how well the castle has been preserved. One of our favorite parts was the underground area--it was such a fascinating and unique spot to explore. The gift shop was also impressive, offering a wide variety of souvenirs to take home. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I'd highly recommend!

We actually got a little vertigo or something because the floors are not level in areas and it messes with your equilibrium I think. There is a little kid area that is probably great for little ones. Went here on the Copenhagen Card pass and it was worth it.

Its laid out kind of wonky but we figured it out (it easy to get lost in all the hallways!). Beautiful sculpture gardens and lots of interesting art. I liked seeing the danish art most but there are some Warhols etc. We ate at the cafe and it wasn't our favorite meal of the trip but you'd be able to find something in a pinch. Worth the visit if youre in copenhagen and have the time (its an easy trainride)- we paired it with Kronberg Slot as its only about 10 minutes away. Great gift shop as well if you need presents for friends back home.

Even the hogs that blow bubbles in mud water was highly entertaining.

If in the area, this place is a must!
