School trip

Guided tours - Learning at eye level

Kronborg does not offer educational programs but has a number of specially designed tours for school classes at all grade levels - from kindergarten to secondary education. Our experienced castle hosts present the material with an eye for the target group and actively involve the students in the conversation. The presentation is both professional and engaging, and there is always room for questions, reflection and curiosity. Classes can also visit the castle without a guide and explore at their own pace.

One castle - many professional angles

Kronborg is suitable for teaching several subjects. In history lessons, the castle can be the setting for topics such as the Renaissance, the Reformation, military strategy and the Danish-Norwegian period of great power. In Danish, students can experience the world of Hamlet and discuss how a fictional story has influenced the real-life perception of the place. In social studies and cultural studies, themes such as national identity, monarchy and the staging of power can be addressed.

Explore the castle and meet Holger Danske

Kronborg Castle offers experiences that captivate both young and old. Go down into the dark casemates and see the sleeping legendary hero Holger Danske. Explore the castle's long halls, the old cannons by the moat and take a trip up to the gun tower where you can enjoy the view over Øresund.

The big story: UNESCO World Heritage

Kronborg's placement on the UNESCO World Heritage List makes the visit an ideal opportunity to talk about cultural heritage and preservation - both nationally and globally. Students gain an understanding of why places like Kronborg are worth preserving for future generations.
