Kronborg The Castle of Hamlet

On the far northeastern tip of Zealand sits an impressive literary and architectural landmark of Denmark. Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, immortalized by the works of William Shakespeare and the story of the Danish Prince Hamlet. Leave Copenhagen by coach and enjoy a one-hour panoramic drive north along the coastal road. Along the way, enjoy views of Oresund, the sound separating Denmark and Sweden. You'll also see some of the most exclusive and expensive real estate in Denmark. Join your guide for a walk across the moat and ramparts at Kronborg, for an inside visit to this imposing castle. As you tour the castle, the Royal Chapel and the Great Hall, learn of the long and fascinating history of the castle. You will also visit the catacombs where a special man of Danish folklore resides – a statue of a massive sleeping warrior. Known as Holger the Dane, the statue slumbers here until the day Denmark is in grave danger, at which time he will rise and save the nation.
