Only a few places in the world are surrounded by as much drama and history as Kronborg Castle. It is world-famous as the setting for Shakespeare’s play Hamlet and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

There's a place where history meets nature, where four castles stand tall by the sea, as neighbours, and no crown is needed to enjoy the magic.
Grand halls hold stories from the past, while nature invites you to step outside and explore. Enjoy earth-to-table dining with ingredients sourced just steps away, where every bite connects you to the land. A simple meal becomes a royal feast, from the king’s pantry to your plate.
Wander the castle whose towering spires once inspired one of literature’s greatest tragedies. Walk through gardens that have seen centuries of blooms, and explore forests where a royal hunting lodge is nestled among old trees and herds of deer. Here, culture and nature are inseparable, woven into every experience.
Kronborg and Elsinore
Elsinore and Kronborg Castle invite you into a world where history and nature merge. Wander cobblestone streets and feel the layers of time unfold — from Shakespearean drama at the castle walls to sea breezes along the Sound. Every corner holds a surprise, transforming the everyday into an extraordinary blend of culture, landscape, and royal heritage.
The Hermitage in Klampenborg
In Klampenborg’s Deer Park, the Hermitage stands as a hidden treasure, where history and nature entwine. Wander beneath centuries-old oaks and discover layers of surprise in every glance — from graceful deer to royal architecture — making even the simplest walk feel extraordinary, steeped in culture, nature, and timeless wonder.
Riding to Castles like a royal
Back in the day, royals would hop in their horse-drawn carriages to cruise between castles. These days? Swap the horses for bikes, trains, or a quick bus ride, and you can still zip between palaces with ease!
