Elsinore

There's something for everybody in Elsinore, the hometown of Hamlet. The 800-year-old market town exudes a unique maritime cultural history that you will not come across anywhere else. If you let go, you have the opportunity to step into a piece of Danish history.

Along the northern city limits of Copenhagen runs a patch of rich forest land and a marvellous coastal line. Despite its close proximity to the city, Copenhagen North is a glaring contrast to the pulse of the city.
