GUIDED TOURS

Danish Elsinore, known as Hamlet’s city, is a mere 20-minute ferry ride from Helsingborg. The magnificent Renaissance Castle of Kronborg, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, salutes you at the port. On your 1-hour guided city walk, let yourself be charmed by winding alleys, the Cathedral with its soaring spire, Baroque composer Buxtehude’s humble birthplace and other historic monuments. Marvel at the contrasts between the austere medieval Carmelite Monastery and the ultra-modern Cultural Centre. Linger 1 -2 h at unforgettable Kronborg Castle. The royal banqueting hall may still conjure up images of rustling silks and lute players. Other enticing Kronborg aspects are the Shakespeareana and the palace church, a miraculous survivor of wars and fire.
