Surely you’re familiar with the story of Hamlet. Well, did you know that the real life Elsinore is only an hour away from Copenhagen by train? Kronborg Castle is located in the Danish town of Helsingör (Elsinore in English) and is home to cute cafes, beautiful waterfront views, and this gorgeous castle. It is absolutely worth a visit if you have time to spare in Copenhagen.

Kronborg Castle is included in the Copenhagen Card.

If you want to learn more about the famous castle and the history of Hamlet, I can really recommend taking a guided tour to Kronborg.
