Temporarily closed. Kronborg is a must-see! “Hamlet’s Castle” is a magnificent experience with soaring towers, a huge ballroom, damp casemates and just 40 minutes from Copenhagen. At the narrowest neck of the sound, between Denmark and Sweden, the medieval fortress merges with the magnificent Renaissance castle and there are few sites in the world where so much drama and history is gathered in one place. Mythical hero Holger the Dane’s mighty sword meets Shakespeare’s equally mighty pen, as the spirit of Hamlet glides through the castle. No wonder this extraordinary place is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. From June to August, Kronborg comes to life! Hamlet and his family take up residence in the castle and as you explore the castle, you will tumble right into the story. The fate of Hamlet unfolds before your very eyes. This interactive live performance that will play out daily during opening hours of Kronborg Castle.

You can see this church from afar but it is a sort of hidden gem with a very long and interesting history. I purchased a brochure / booklet inside and explored the grounds. Very well maintained!

This is located in the basement of the castle and it well worth the walk because of the history of the legend.

The harbor here is a mix of old 16th century buildings with ferries that leave every 15 min to Sweden. If you can find a guided tour you will get a lot of information you would not get by just walking around. You can find old houses (museums) that look like the 16th century houses did inside for very small amounts ($3-4)
