Looking for inspiration for summer vacation activities in North Zealand?

Summer activities in Elsinore - visit the exhibition 'Monster' by Shane Brox 

The summer offers many wonderful vacation moments and a lot of free time, where you as a family can enjoy each other's company and go on pleasant excursions or find fun summer vacation activities. In Elsinore at Kronborg Castle, we offer fun guided tours and exciting exhibitions. This year, for example, you can visit the exhibition 'Monster - Ugly creatures with big feelings' by Shane Brox, known from many children's TV programs. A lot of monsters have moved into the Casemates in the basement of the castle and you can explore them. Each monster represents an emotion that we all know - young and old alike - and the exhibition is a great place to talk about all the different emotions we all have. Also, see if you can find Holger Danskethe old legendary hero who sits down in the Casemates and sleeps. If you are looking for other summer activities in Elsinore, where the kids can run off some energy, we recommend a walk around the castle and the moat. Here you can experience the old cannons and look out over the Sound and look across to Sweden.
