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!

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!

And it is a nice little stroll. The castle sitting there surrounded by the castle moat makes an impressive sight. The castle was the base of kings before and for that it is actually a quite unusual castle, judging by its architecture. But different isn't bad in this case. I was surprised that pretty much nobody was there this morning for a walk or to come look at the castle. We liked it. Parking was close-by (and free), the surrounding ground are pretty and so is the nearby park. Bathrooms are also just by the castle (and free).

We visited the castle on a Sunday around noon. Semi busy and we saw a couple of guided tours…read more 4 levels that were accessible via a spiral staircase. (Elevator was available also). Restrooms were located in the lower level. Tight spiral staircase with the lower level having a Dungeon atmosphere. We enjoyed the period paintings both on the walls and ceilings (some were breathtaking). The Castle has housed the Museum of National history (since 1878) with a collection that presents 500 years of Danish history. The furniture, Grand rooms, Knights armor and overall decorations transport you back to a time long ago. My only wish would have been to have more posted information/signage about what was in view. There is also a Church attached/next door which wasn't open to the public when we first arrived as there was a wedding. Opened up when we finished our Castle tour so we walked next door and spent some time there. Organ was playing so it added to the peaceful vibe and complemented the architectural beauty. It took us about 1.5 hours for Castle and Church although we didn't explore the grounds and the garden area in the back -so would recommend 2.5 to 3 hours for all. Saw a small Cafe. Service minded people were helping visitors with questions and ticket purchases. Really impressed by this Castle as well Hillerød.

We had: Fried Scallops with cauliflower, lemon and almons Crown of Lamb with beetroot, chervil and aromatic sauce Baked Alaska with licorice, lemon og flaming pastis (depicted on video) A nice little 3 course menu that we received the sunday we choose to celebrate. Everything was neatly prepared using seasonal commodities. The flaming dessert was a funny little way to end it all. Neatly done for a place that use to be a deserted ruin, but has been neatly rebuild to host this restaurant in the cellar. I will definitely return, maybe book a suite in the hotel upstairs, use the spa and dine a couple of times :-)

Dragør is the perfect tourist spot to take you back to historic Denmark. Located in Kastrup, just…read morebeyond the CPH Airport, Dragør is one of the more unknown tourist spots in CPH. Boasting 76+ pristine historic buildings from the 1700 and 1800s, Dragør creates a picture perfect fishing village. The village is very well preserved, from the thatched roofed buildings to the narrow cobble stone streets. You almost feel like you're in an amusement park until you peer through the windows of the local buildings and discover that these are actual homes still being lived in today. Getting to the village and the harbor is relatively easy. You can't directly get there by train but there are plenty of buses that will take you directly there. But be prepared for a long bus ride if you're coming from anywhere in central CPH. There is also a parking lot near the harbor but it seemed to be consistently full, especially if the weather is nice. On a beautiful sunny day, the harbor beyond the village is the perfect place to grab an ice cream from one of the many local shops or grab a coffee and walk along the boat pier. Most locals like to soak up the sun by the harbor and enjoy the nice sea breeze. You can even view the bridge to Sweden and if you're really lucky, maybe Sweden itself. But don't limit yourself on visiting only during nice weather. Apparently, they have a ton of events during the winter and go all out for Christmas. I definitely plan to revisit Dragør this winter to see it turned into a quaint Christmas Village.

Yes, you can take a virtual tour. But, people live here. So, though it is a very interesting structure, and has a very unique architectural design, all you can do is look at it from the outside. This being said, it is one of the most recognizable buildings in all of Malmö. You can pretty much see it from all areas of the city. This structure is very close to the shoreline in Malmö. So, it's a nice place to walk to either when you're coming from the ocean or going to the Malmö shoreline. Overall, it is what it is, an interesting structure, and one of the defining factors of Malmö, Sweden.
