Visita al Castillo de Kronborg
Con esta entrada puedes explorar el castillo que Shakespeare llamó Elsinore. Puedes recorrer el castillo incluyendo el salón de baile, la capilla renacentista, las casamatas, así como el patio del castillo. Si lo deseas, puedes optar por hacer una visita guiada, disponible en determinados días (comprueba los horarios de inicio al llegar a la tienda del castillo), o puedes llevar tus propios auriculares y escuchar la audioguía en determinados lugares del castillo.
El Castillo de Kronborg data de 1420, cuando era una fortaleza conocida como Krogen. La fortaleza, situada en el punto más estrecho del Øresund, se utilizaba para controlar la entrada a la vía fluvial. Entre 1574 y 1585, el rey Federico II hizo transformar la fortaleza medieval en el castillo renacentista que es hoy, aunque tuvo que hacer frente a un gran incendio en 1629 y a la ocupación de los suecos entre 1658 y 1660.
Elsinore de Shakespeare - El castillo de Hamlet
Nadie sabe si Shakespeare visitó alguna vez Kronborg, pero es seguro que había oído los rumores sobre el decadente estilo de vida que se mantenía en la corte. Jugadores británicos visitaron Kronborg varias veces en tiempos de Shakespeare, que como él le hablaron del castillo al famoso dramaturgo.
Hoy en día, puedes disfrutar en verano en el castillo, durante el festival Shakespeare, de representaciones en directo de las mejores obras de Shakespeare a cargo de compañías danesas e internacionales. Para el festival se crea un teatro al aire libre con un escenario construido al otro lado del foso, con el castillo como telón de fondo.
Consigue tus entradas para el Castillo de Kronborg y visita a Holger el Danés
One thing you cannot miss when you visit Kronborg Castle is an audience with Holger the Dane, who sits deep down under the castle amongst the crypts and catacombs. Holger is known to every Dane, for he will sleep until the day when Denmark is in real trouble, and he will wake up and defend the mother country. Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out on this great day-trip from Copenhagen.

PASEO POR HELSINGER Y CASTILLO KRONBORG EXPERIENCIA INOLVIDABLE EN DINAMARCA
Incríble experiencia acudir al Castillo de Kronborg, pasear a la orilla del mar y por el pueblo de Helsinger. También es posible tomar un ferry de ahí hacia suecia a la ciudad de Helsinborg y continuar el viaje hacia ese país. De mis mejores experiencias en Dinamarca. Salirse del bullicio de la ciudad de Copenague, acercarse a la historia del castillo y pasear por el fuerte , escuchando el mar bático y sintiendo la brisa. El castillo se encuentra en excelentes condiciones y la ciudad de Helsinborg sin duda un paseo o estancia turística muy tranquila e involvidable.
las vistas desde la playa
no ingresamos. lo recorrimos por fuera. muy linda la costa y los patios internos. solo fue una parada yendo de Estocolmo a Copenhague en un tour. pero valio la pena por las vistas desde la playa. el castillo es imponente.
Ser o no Ser
Es fácil llegar solo desde Copenhague entren de ida y vuelta, no es necesario contratar un guía ya que está muy bien señalizado, el recorrido es suficiente y verás mucho arte alrededor además de bajar a los calabozos y estar frente a Holger Danske
Bonito castillo con refrescantes alrededores
El castillo es bonito y la visita del interior es agradable, vale la pena. También son muy agradables las zonas circundantes, con el mar y la visión de la cercana costa sueca. Elsinor es un pueblecito machacado por el turismo, con una calle principal que tiene cierto aire a lo peor de Benidorm. Pero bueno, te puedes tomar una cerveza, si estás dispuesto a pagar su desorbitado precio, para descansar de la visita.
Muy entretenido
Esta no es la típica visita a castillos y palacios. El castillo Kronborg está en Elsinor, a 45 minutos de Copenhague. Vale la pena el trayecto. El camino alrededor del castillo te permite unas vistas muy buenas de la costa y el mar. El patio interno del castillo tiene algunos juegos interactivos. Dentro del castillo podrás conseguirte a algunos personajes muy bien logrados, sobre todo al propio Hamlet que, si tienes suerte, va a tener una simpática conversación contigo. Recomendado. Al salir pueden visitar el Museo Marítimo justo al frente y comer en el edificio Street Food con varias opciones.
Castillo de Hamlet
Muy sencillo por dentro puesto que solo vivian a temporadas algunos de los reyes principalmente en el siglo xvi y xvii Posteriormente fue cuartel militar y carcel Se ven las orillas de Suecia desde las ventanas del castillo Es el punto mas cercano a Suecia en el extrecho de Oresun En los sotanos esta la estatua del heroe nacional Holger que fue un vikingo que segun la leyenda de despertara y cogera su espada si Dinamarca es amenazada
Recomendable 100%
Recomendable 100%!! el gran salón donde Hamblet está escondido tras una esquina y te asalta simpáticamente haciendo muy bien su papel, nos gusto mucho. Ibamos en una excursión junto a Lund y Malmo y teníamos 1 h y media para ver no solo el castillo sino Helsingor, con Hans, el sirenito de acero que está en el puerto cerca del castillo; por eso íbamos con mucha prisa y no empleamos más tiempo en el Castillo que bien lo merece en cada dependencia, las mazmorras las vimos rápido para tener más tiempo, la iglesia, cocina....y rodear el castillo se veia muy interesante desde el ferry pero como queríamos ver al sirenito y demás. No perdéroslo!!
Castillo de Hamlet
Muy bonita la visita y muy interesante, no sólo por el castillo en sí sino por toda la historia de Hamlet, merece la pena visitarlo y sobre todo ver las casamatas. También había una exposición de los monstruos del castillo muy interesante.
Preciosas vistas. Recomiendo el ferry a Helsinborg para visitar la ciudad
Preciosas vistas. Muy recomendable el ferry a Helsinborg (en coche es caro, pero es barato sin él: 12 euros ida y vuelta). Salen cada media hora. Si el día es claro, las vistas de las dos ciudades son espectaculares. Las dos tienen un paseo muy agradable por sus cascos históricos
Precioso
Tanto por fuera como el interior espectacular, merece la pena la iglesia y algunos de los suntuosos salones, el patio es precioso
Poco sorprendente.
Como castillo no sorprende demasiado El interior no aporta nada que no se encuentre en cualquier castillo, hasta puede ser un poco pobre Lo positivo es que lo tienen muy adaptado para niños, con actividades, juegos…y por supuesto sala de Lego… Tampoco encontramos sobresaturación de Hamlet…de hecho sólo en la tienda…
You don't want to miss this castle. It's not like the others.
This is not your average castle stop. We rode the train from Copenhagen which was insanely convenient and a beautiful ride. The castle is walkable from the station with only about a 15 minute leisurely pace. We had visited another castle the day before and expected little difference. Were we wrong! We did a self-guided tour which was super easy. We began by walking the castle walls and views of Sweden across the water. Each part of this castle has its own hidden surprises. I don't want to ruin them so I won't be terribly specific but the 2nd floor was rocking! There are interactive stations in many locations of the castle as well as some live residents to interact with. I loved seeing Holger The Dane in the underground tunnels. There were very informative signs all around that included english translations. The bathrooms were very clean and modern. Its a UNESCO World Heritage site which speaks for itself.
Fun day trip out of Copenhagen
Kronborg Slot was such a doable day trip from Copenhagen, after a one hour train journey from Central Station we had arrived in the Helsingor, from here it was a fifteen minute walk or so to the castle entrance. Before arriving we stopped off for a coffee at the Strandvejsristeriet cafe, because of this we were a little late for the fifteen minute guided tour included in the admission fee. The tour actually was a little lack lustre anyway. The castle can be casually explored by any paid visitor, it is important to note that the castle is not fully decorated just a small impression in the rooms. After wandering through the two levels of the building we went up onto the roof then down under the castle into the basement tunnels. Surprisingly the castle visit only took less than two hours.
Fæstning med fest i
Havde endelig fået overtalt min 16-årige til at se Kronborg. Vi havde hans jævnaldrende kusine med og det var super! Kusinen kunne ikke komme sig over at det var Sverige lige på den anden side, men det er også et anderledes syn. Vi var på galleri på vej ind, hvor udstilleren kom med sjove historier da vi udtrykte begejstring over billederne. På selve Kronborg var der en ret sjov fest udstilling som fortalte om alle festerne man holdt i gamle dage på en interessant og indlevende måde og så er Holger Danske og kasematerne jo altid spændende. Virkelig god udflugt
Don't Miss the Casemates
A very easy train journey from Copenhagen will bring you to the town of Kronborg. From here enjoy wandering the streets of the old town before making your way to Kronborg castle right on the peninsula. Within the castle several floors of rooms are available to explore along with a great view from one of the towers for those willing to make the climb. The real highlight was the casemate - a series of tunnels under the castle light by old oil lamps. Outside there is plenty of space to explore along the surrounding walls with view over towards Sweden.
A Grand Castle and Fortifications
This is one of the best castles we have ever visited and we have seen hundreds. The grounds are excellent and the setting on the Baltic is picturesque. Good exhibits on the castle's history and views of the area from the top are superb. Something for all ages and interests.
Hamlets Schloss
Das Schloss Hamlets ist eigentlich ein Lustschloss der Könige. Vom Schloss hat man einen tollen Blick auf die Umgebung bis nach Helsingborg in Schweden.
A fairytale location!
You walk through the gates and into a medieval courtyard with classical music playing, surrounded by wooden props and photo ops. You can explore the museum, the spiral staircase to the roof for a citywide view and much more. Very traditional setting with some amazing sculptures, artwork, and carvings.
Definitely recommend
A really fun thing to do! During Easter Children could look for Eggs and Sheep in the different rooms of the castle The staff also was really nice and helpful. They do a longer Tour of the castle and a free intro for the castle, which was really interesting and good. The exhibition is really fun and there are a lot of things to do. Right now there is a special exhibition, where you are able to dress up in historical costumes and take pictures, which was a lot of fun. In the other rooms, you can learn about how Parties during that time were held!
To be or not to be
Classé au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 2000, le château de Kronborg est un des châteaux les plus connus du Danemark. Mondialement célèbre pour avoir été le cadre de la tragédie Hamlet écrite par Shakespeare. L'entrée coûte 135 DKK ou est incluse dans la copenhagen card (CPH). Facilement accessible depuis la gare de Helsingor, le château se situe à environ 50 minutes de la gare centrale de Copenhague en train. La visite commence par la cour où différentes options s'offrent à vous. Il y a le premier étage, le deuxième étage, la cuisine, la chapelle et le toit terrasse. Les pièces ne sont pas beaucoup meublées mais la visite reste toutefois intéressante. Des panneaux explicatifs en anglais jalonnent le parcours et apportent des informations sur les occupants du château, leur vie, avec des parallèles avec Shakespeare et sa célèbre tragédie. Depuis le toit-terrasse, accessible après une volée de marches, on a une vue à 360° sur la ville, le château, les remparts, les douves, la mer, la baie et évidemment une vue sur la Suède, juste de l'autre côté du détroit. D'extérieur, le château est très joli, ses tours aux toits bombés et vert sont reconnaissables parmi tant d'autres. Il y avait des travaux sur une des façades lors de notre visite. La visite dure environ 2 heures. Le personnel est souriant et accueillant.
Really cool castle
Magnificent castle with plenty of history and plenty to explore. Actors walk around reenacting scenes from Hamlet and there are plenty of exhibits throughout.
Iconic for a reason
WOW! I went because I felt obliged...and boy I'm glad I did. Easy train ride from Copenhagen. Really impressive fortress. Well curated. Go up to the top to see the view. Plan at least a half of day. We were there during the fall so didn't have to deal with crowds.
Un château imposant de loin
Un château imposant de loin et de la cour d'entrée. La mise en scène intérieur fait oublier que les pièces sont vides. Nous avons aimé jouer à Hamlet avec les comédiens. Mais un château qui ne sera pas inoubliable.
Bestes Museum, das wir gesehen haben
Szene aus Hamlet‘s William Shakespeare wurde plötzlich gespielt, dann konnten wir in festliche Roben von damals für Selfies schlüpfen sowie in einem Raum zu heissen Beats tanzen. Und das alles kostenlos. Das Hamlet Schloss (Kronborg Slot) ist gut zu Fuss ab dem Bahnhof Helsingor in 10min. erreichbar. Mit dem Zug ist man innert 60min. von Kopenhagen dort.
entre Danemark et Suède
château à environ 1 heure de Copenhague jolie position au bord de l'eau ; la montée à la tour permet d'avoir un panorama à 360 degrés peu meublé, avec néanmoins un espace "fête" : ambiance disco au château ! c'est original c'est vrai que tout est peut-être trop axé sur Hamlet
Lovely day trip from København with interesting architecture and exhibits
We enjoyed our visit here on a quiet Tuesday morning. Taking the train from København it was easy to access and very interesting to walk around the outside of the walls and admire the architecture. We did not view any of the Shakespearean re-enactments and followed our own tour without a guide. The tower is worth climbing and quite steep. This is well worth a visit alongside shopping and eating in Helsingør.
Amazing! 6* Othermcastles take note
Wow. We visit a LOT of castles and period properties, and this has been the best experience by far! My expectation - pop head in for half an hour, look at traditional tapestries, dining ware, etc. I was soooo wrong. It wasn't long before we were learning about how hard they actually partied back in the day. The dining room was blaring Britney Spears with disco lighting and silhouettes dancing round the walls! The next room had a chandelier crashed through the dining table! Why is no where else in the world doing this?! Such a fresh take on history. There was a jester, in character, buzzing about all day. Absolutely fantastic, never slipping from character. There was also a king and queen buzzing about and even performing a full Hamlet scene in the ballroom! Brilliant. The crypts are absolutely endless, and lit by oil lamps. I was the only person down there, and seemed to wander for hours, eventually emerging beyond the castle walls. What an experience. As we left, the king was sat by the door, waxing lyrical and bidding farewell to the visitors! 6*. All other period properties should take note.
A very fine castle with great guided tours and Shakespeare acting!
This is one of the best castle I have seen, the building has many intricate details, and is well preserved. There are free guided tours in English and Danish, as well as pop up Shakespeare actors enacting the scenes from Hamlet. It's very helpful to see the plays in situ. The path around the castle gives a great view to the strait.
Respirare storia e letteratura
A circa un'ora di treno dalla stazione centrale di Copenaghen e venti minuti a piedi vi trovate immersi nella storia, nella leggenda, nella letteratura entrando nel castello in cui Shakespeare ha ambientato la tragedia di Amleto. Il castello è molto ben conservato e si gira agevolmente in tutti i suoi anfratti più reconditi (ce ne sono molti, seguite le indicazioni per non perderveli, come una mappa del tesoro); nel cortile interno troverete personaggi in costume storico disponibili a raccontarvi aneddoti o recitarvi brevi scene storiche o letterarie. Non perdetevi nemmeno la vista dello stretto e della vicina costa svedese dai bastioni. La visita dura circa due ore, e vista la numerosità e la capillarità dei treni può anche essere abbinata, come abbiamo fatto noi, ad un altro castello nella regione di Copenaghen, come ad esempio il castello di Frederiksborg a Hillerod.
Esserci o non esserci. Senz'altro Esserci!
Al Castello celebre per essere il luogo in cui si svolge la tragedia shakespeareana, Amleto, ogni giorno ci sono compagnie proveniente da tutto il mondo che mettono in scena performance della celebre opera del bardo inglese. All'interno del sito c'è una cappella, e sono visitabili entrambi i piani del castello, nei sottorranei c'è la statua di Arnoldo I, il re più importante del Regno di Danimarca. Interessante è notare come ci siano "ancora" i cannoni diretti verso le coste svedesi che distano a circa 10 km dal castello e ben visibili a vista d'occhio. Una tappa imprescindibile per chi ama il teatro e la cultura in genere. Molto interessante. Tornando dal Castello potete anche comprare dei souvenir interessanti... a tema...
Historic Castle with Inspiring Hamlet Performance
We visited Kronborg Castle, famously known as the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and had a thoroughly memorable experience. The castle itself is an impressive historical site with beautifully preserved architecture and stunning views over the Øresund Strait. One of the highlights of our visit was the Hamlet performance that took place inside the castle walls. The actors brought Shakespeare’s story to life in a unique and engaging way, making the atmosphere truly special. Experiencing the play in the very location that inspired it added remarkable authenticity and depth. The exhibitions throughout the castle were also very well curated. They provided valuable insights into the history of Kronborg, its role in Danish culture and politics, and its significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Everything was presented in an informative yet accessible way, making it easy to learn while enjoying the visit. Overall, Kronborg Castle is more than just a historical monument – it combines rich history, cultural heritage, and live performance in a way that makes the experience both educational and inspiring. It is an absolute must-see when visiting Denmark.

Helsingor Castle - a MUST do
An excellent visit to Helsingor Castle. The Castle tour with Louise was amazing. she really bought this castle to life. Well worth the time to visit this spectacular castle.
A wonderful castle with an interesting exhibition and actors.
A magnificent castle offering immersive exhibitions with great actors being in the role of court jesters or characters from Hamlet. Apart from history you also learn a lot of interesting facts about castle life, feasts, etc. There are a lot of rooms on multiple floors. The exhibition balances information and fun well. On top of that, the view of the sea from the tower is wonderful! I visited Kronborg with my girlfriend in July and we definitely recommend it! It was fun!
Kronborg to Starboard.
Having spent many years at sea, and always when returning to Oeresund from the Kattegat, the call was always "Kronborg til Styrbord" (Kronborg on the starboard side.") I have always wanted to see this castle, and finally, in June of 2025 we had the opportunity. I was not inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, but rather by Danish history. It is amazing and well worth the trip from Copenhagen, just a short one hour train trip.
Go don't think.twice
Woe, wow. Amazing. Teenagers loved it to . Everything was so interesting , what a place. Then the street food village on yhe way out . Very interesting.
Easy and fun visit from Copenhagen
Even on a nice sunny day, this castle was not too crowded and we enjoyed exploring on our own. The view from the tower is lovely and wandering the very dark and spooky casements deep under the castle was fun. In places the lighting is intentionally limited, really adding to the atmosphere down there. The statue of King Holger is impressive. There is a bit of over reliance on the whole Hamlet thing, but children seem to love it. It is an easy trip, by train, from Copenhagen and well worth visiting.
Hamlet and some nice views
The setting of this castle is very nice with some lovely coastal views. It is famous for being associated with the setting for Hamlet. The exterior of the building and its battlements are grand. The interior is plain and the vast majority of furnishings are long gone especially when compared to the amazing Frederiksborg Castle. Yet, Kronborg makes up for this with sea views and an interesting story.
Sjove og indlevende udstillinger
To rigtig fede udstillinger/oplevelser her i sommerperioden der var særdeles børnevenlige, men lige så spændende for voksne: - Hamlets historie var meget interessant med live skuespil, som blev opført rigitg godt. - Udstillingen festen var virkelig godt lavet og det var sjovt at kunne klæde sig ud i gammeldags adeligt tøj og danse i dansesalen.
Definitely a must see!
Gorgeous castle! Interactive Hamlet scenes, rooms to see, a roof top view (145 steps) and an underground cavern to explore (very dark and may have bats). Lovely gift shops.
Trip to Kronborg Castle – A Day with Hamlet
If you’re in Copenhagen, don’t miss this amazing day tour to Kronborg Castle — history, Shakespeare, and the Baltic breeze all in one! I took the train from Copenhagen Central to Helsingør—it’s about an hour each way and cost me around 78 DKK (about $12). From the station, it’s a nice 20-minute walk to Kronborg Castle, a beautiful Renaissance spot known as the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Inside, the underground prison was pretty cool, especially with the sculpture of the castle’s legendary guardian. The Baltic Sea surrounds the castle, making it a bit windy and chilly, but it adds to the atmosphere. I even bought a pair of “Hamlet socks” — to be or not to be stylish, right? Now I’m excited to finally finish reading the play. It was a simple, memorable trip full of history and that classic Shakespearean vibe.
Great strategic castle that is well preserved
Well worth a trip from Copenhagen. This castle and fort have great historical significance due to the proximity to Sweden and the various skirmishes over the years. It was rebuilt and then later renovated and is now in great condition. Lots of great art and furnishings with very cool educational stuff re: the remaking of old sandstone Greek statues. Don’t miss the big statue of sleeping Danish folk giant Viking Holger Danske. The grounds are also nice.
Historical Experience
A wealth of cultural pearls and architectural land marks mixed with nature and a cool urban atmosphere. Kronborg castle is a UNESCO world heritage site that inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet, on the ramparts we can see the view of Helsingborg and the ferries. The old barracks are the home to 200 years of Shakespearean theatre tradition as Hamlet stages performance s al year round.
Tremendous.
Stunning, awe inspiring castle in Helsingor. An absolute must do. It's an easy train journey from Copenhagen. Layer upon layer of Danish history and politics is oozing out of every stone in its impressive walls.
Gita fuori porta
Abbiamo visitato il castello di Kronborg con una gita fuori porta da Copenhagen e direi che ne vale la pena (soprattutto facile da raggiungere in treno diretto a Helsingor). Il castello è ricco di storia essendo del Seicento, con alcune repliche di manufatti. Tuttavia, la fama del castello lo lega ad Amleto di Shakespeare e il fatto che sia patrimonio dell'Unesco. Da non dimenticare una passeggiata lungo i bastioni del castello, da cui si può ammirare il piccolo tratto di mare che separa la Danimarca dalla Svezia.
A real castle to explore
A giant castle with the sellers and ballrooms to explore. A must when visiting northern Sealand and Helsingor. Interesting stories are told.
Castello di Amleto
Castello molto suggestivo, soprattutto dall’esterno. Ma anche il giro interno è piacevole con gli appartamenti reali, il grande salone, la piccola sala, le segrete, la Torre e la cappella.
Excellent
Très beau château, peu meublé mais chargé d histoire. Visitez les sous sol et montez à la tour voir les ferries traverser vers la Suède
worth the visit
The castle was interesting and the town was in itself worth the visit. You can easily spend a half day at the castle and a half day doing other things (like the maritime museum) in this town.
Excellent Experience
When we arrived at the castle, we first took a walk around the grounds and even went down the waterside so that I could dip my toes into the Baltic. The castle itself was phenomenal, with a lot of great history and artifacts. There were many different areas of the castle to visit and they even had a pseudo art exhibit in the underground portion. It is a bit of a walk from the train station, but highly worth it.
