A summer vacation in Elsinore full of history
If you are spending your summer vacation in Elsinore or somewhere else in North Zealand, you should visit Kronborg Castle. The beautiful, old castle is located in Elsinore with a beautiful view over to Sweden. Here you can get a sense of history under your skin as you explore the castle's many rooms. For example, visit the legendary hero Holger Danske down in the Casemates, or get the full story of Shakespeare's Hamletwhich takes place at Kronborg Castle. During the summer vacation, we offer an entertaining story hunt about Hamlet, which takes you around the castle and where the whole family must help solve a riddle. If you are lucky enough to have a summer vacation in North Zealand, where the weather is good and the sun is shining, you can take an absolutely beautiful walk around the castle and see the moat, the old cannons and look out over the Sound and over to Sweden. Whether you are a group of friends on a trip, a couple looking for an exciting experience or a family going on a day trip, Kronborg Castle offers many pleasant hours for your summer vacation in North Zealand.
Exhibitions, guided tours or discover on your own
Kronborg Castle offers entertaining exhibitions and exciting guided tours all year round, including during the summer vacation. Our skilled castle hosts are happy to give you an introduction to the castle or a guided tour, where you have the opportunity to get answers to all your questions and get the history under your skin. If you are a group of friends who are looking for a fun experience during your summer vacation in North Zealand, you can also book one of our exciting group tours. This year our main exhibition is "Monster" by Shane Brox. Here, 12 ugly creatures with big feelings have moved into the Casemates at the castle. Although the exhibition is primarily aimed at families with children, many young people and adults can also enjoy it - both because it is a beautiful exhibition with the beautiful monsters that Shane Brox has created, and because the exhibition focuses on the many emotions we all know about, and which some of us may need to get better at talking to each other about.
