Kronborg Castle is an hour's drive from Copenhagen, so if you are visiting Copenhagen I recommend you visit it. Outside the castle, there is a beautiful territory, inside the castle everything is also beautiful and interesting. I especially liked the casemates! An immortal works of Shakespeare, 'Hamlet' Kronborg Slot is the background of creation, thus famous Hamlet Castle. Travel Denmark - Tour of Kronborg Castle - Duration: 0:56.

Kronborg Castle

Welcome to Kronborg Castle. In compliance with the instructions issued by the Danish Authorities concerning the Corona virus, Kronborg Castle will remain closed from 9th December to 4th January 2021, both days inclusive. The period may be extended. Come back for updates. During the Danish-Swedish wars, the Swedes occupied the castle from 1658 to 1660, looting everything of value, including its then-famous fountain. Thereafter, Christian V bulked up Kronborg’s defences, but the Danish royals gave up trying to make the castle a home. Kronborg Castle (Kronborg Slot) is ranked #3 out of 17 things to do in Copenhagen. See pictures and our review of Kronborg Castle (Kronborg Slot). Stromma Danmark's tours cost 80 Danish kroner.
