In the latter category you will find, for example, Kronborg's guidebook, which is printed in 9 different languages and contributes knowledge and fun facts. Depending on the season, parts of the assortment vary, but the gift shop has an exclusive selection of Christmas goods all year round. When hunger strikes, the gift shop also offers a selection of sweets, ice cream, cold water & juices.
