Visite du château de Kronborg
Avec ce billet, vous pouvez explorer le château que Shakespeare a nommé Elseneur. Vous pouvez vous frayer un chemin à travers le château, y compris la salle de bal, la chapelle Renaissance, les casemates, ainsi que la cour du château. Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez opter pour une visite guidée, disponible certains jours (vérifiez les heures de départ à votre arrivée au magasin du château), ou vous pouvez apporter vos propres écouteurs et écouter l'audioguide à certains endroits du château.
Le château de Kronborg remonte à 1420. Il s'agissait alors d'une forteresse connue sous le nom de Krogen. La forteresse, située au point le plus étroit de l'Øresund, servait à contrôler l'accès à la voie d'eau. Entre 1574 et 1585, le roi Frédéric II a fait transformer la forteresse médiévale en château Renaissance tel qu'on le connaît aujourd'hui, bien qu'il ait été confronté à un gigantesque incendie en 1629 et à l'occupation par les Suédois de 1658 à 1660.
Elseneur de Shakespeare - Le château d'Hamlet
Personne ne sait si Shakespeare a jamais visité Kronborg, mais il est certain qu'il a entendu les rumeurs sur le mode de vie décadent de la cour. Des joueurs britanniques ont visité Kronborg à plusieurs reprises à l'époque de Shakespeare, et ils ont parlé du château au célèbre dramaturge.
Aujourd'hui, vous pouvez assister à des représentations en direct des plus grandes pièces de Shakespeare par des compagnies danoises et internationales en été au château pendant le festival Shakespeare. Pour le festival, un théâtre en plein air est créé avec une scène construite sur les douves, avec le château en toile de fond.
Achetez vos billets pour le château de Kronborg et rendez visite à Holger le Danois
Lors de votre visite au château de Kronborg, vous ne pourrez pas manquer une audience avec Holger le Danois, qui siège dans les profondeurs du château, parmi les cryptes et les catacombes. Holger est connu de tous les Danois, car il dormira jusqu'au jour où le Danemark sera en difficulté, et il se réveillera pour défendre la mère patrie. Achetez vos billets dès maintenant pour ne pas manquer cette superbe excursion d'une journée au départ de Copenhague.

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

Incontournable
Superbe lieu, au bord de la mer, la Suède de l’autre côté, bien visible. Nous avons eu un temps splendide. Le château en lui même vaut le détour, à 30 minutes de train depuis Copenhague. Trajet et visite inclus dans la Copenhaguen Card. La cour est aussi belle que la vie extérieure. A l’intérieur les pièces sont meublées, avec moins de faste que d’autres châteaux mais rappelons que ce château avait été laissé à l’armée. Il est tout de même meublé. La salle de la Reine est superbe, la salle de bal idem. On apprend beaucoup de choses en lisant tous les panneaux. Les visites commentées sont comme partout en danois ou en anglais, nous avons préféré lire. Vous découvrirez en plus les cuisines, et à ne pas louper, les sous-sols (kasemate) qu’on parcourt dans la pénombre (éclairage minimaliste). A faire absolument. Petits frissons garantis, même pour les grands!

Splendide
Absolument à faire. Accessible facilement de Copenhague, ce château est rempli d'histoire. Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant, sympathique et très à l'écoute des visiteurs. Ils ont à cœur de partager leur savoir. Vraiment sympa

très beau chateau
magnifique chateau qui s'impose dans le ciel tout bleu que nous avons connu. L'accueil est très sympathique, chaleureux même. L'ambiance est studieuse. Le chateau est actuellement en refection sur une partie de son pourtour (du moins lorsque nous sommes passés). Visite à faire à tout pris.

Château très connu grâce à Hamlet
L’aspect extérieur de ce château est très beau avec la belle vue sur le détroit avec la Suède et ses douves. L’accueil est excellent avec des artistes habillés en saltimbanques et créant une belle animation. Malheureusement l’intérieur est très peu meublé comparé avec le château de Frideriskborg de Hillerod. C’est grâce à Hamlet que ce château est apprécié et très visité.

Magnifique
Situé dans la petite cité médiévale de Helsingor, à quarante minutes environ de la Gare Centrale de Copenhague, ce château est l'un des plus importants de l'histoire Danoise même si le philistin ne retient que le fait qu'il fut choisit par Shakespeare comme décor de la tragédie Hamlet. Il abrita toutefois l'une des cours les plus flamboyantes de son époque. Peu de chose ont été conservée et la ballade, surtout pour les non-anglophones pourraient paraître quelque peu aride. Comptez 15 minutes à pieds depuis la Gare d'Helsingor en passant le long du magnifique détroit de l'Oresund qui s'ouvre sur la Suède à deux pas. Gratuit avec la CPH card tout comme le transport

L'incontournable d'Elseneur
Très facile d'accès depuis la gare, le "château d'Hamlet" donne l'occasion d'une visite à Elseneur. De style Renaissance, entouré de douves et de fortification à la Vauban, il a fière allure. Il présente de magnifiques tapisseries du XVIème siècle (dont les autres se trouvent, mais beaucoup moins bien présentées qu'ici , au Musée National à Copenhague).

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

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.

MEDIEVAL CASTLE 😱
I visited Kronborg Castle, and it was a fantastic experience! The architecture is stunning, and the views of the Øresund Strait from the ramparts are breathtaking. Exploring the grand halls and seeing the statue of Holger Danske added to the charm. The guided text was engaging and provided great insights into the castle’s history, especially its connection to Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking it out—it’s a beautiful blend of history and culture!

Adorable castle
Kronborg -Hamlet Castle is really one of adorable castle. You would love it. I had amazing time and experience . It is very easy to reach after train just use bus or taxi. Very close. It was enough cold and windy on October. At the top of castle it was raining but it is worth to go.

Worth the trip out of the city
Very easy to get to from Copenhagen, train to Helsinger then a bus (though it’s about a 10 min walk). The castle is very picturesque, it’s a bit of a walk from the road but you get marvellous views. The palace itself is beautiful and the exhibitions are easy to follow. Lots of steps so not so great for those with mobility issues but the stairs are wide and have rope handrails. Different to Rosenborg and is a unesco world heritage site so it’s always nice to tick another one off the list. Worth the trip

Imponerende slot
På Kronborg Slot kan hele familien møde Holger Danske, opleve spændende historie, deltage i levende omvisninger med dygtige slotsværter, se skiftende udstillinger og fordybe sig i involverende historiejagter for hele familien i alle skoleferierne. I mere end 500 år har Kronborg Slot ligget på den strategisk vigtige beliggenhed, hvor Øresund er smallest, så man herfra kunne kontrollere indsejlingen til Østersøen. Det er her, Christian den 4. som barn løb rundt på slottets trapper og igennem de storslåede sale. Og det er her, Holger Danske sover i kasematterne – klar til at vågne til dåd, når Danmark er i nød. I dag er Kronborg Slot åbent for offentligheden og en del af Nationalmuseet i Danmark. Derfor er det muligt at gå på opdagelse på det gamle renæssanceslot, hvor der er tydelige spor efter slottets beboere, fx med gamle indridsninger af navne i murerne, og hvor man hurtigt fornemmer slottets storhedstid i Dansesalen. Her var kongens fester så storslåede, at Kronborg Slot dengang var kendt som Europas vildeste natklub. Efter sigende var det disse fester, der inspirerede forfatteren Shakespeare til at placere det verdensberømte drama Hamlet netop her.

Great time
Great castle. Easy to get round and it was quite when I was there so you could easily read the information boards. Some parts will ve difficult if you have mobility issues as lots of stairs
Nov 19, 2024davey1949
Very Good Castle Experience
Very nice castle experience. Very enjoyable. Lots to look at and see, nicely set up, looks great for kids too. Take the time to climb the stairs up to the roof of the tower for great views of the town, up the coast, and of Sweden. Great pictures! Very beautiful inside and out. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful Castle on the Headland.
The Castle was great. From the position of it on the straight, you get the sense of it power of days gone by. It was fantastic to tour all the room and the view from the tower was great, with Norway a short cannonball shot away. The walk of the casements was very interesting, we weren’t sure if we were going to find our way out. The grounds an battlements are great for walking also. Definitely worth thr day out.

Sulle orma di Amleto
Spettacolare tour del castello di Amleto! Visita molto organizzata degli interni del castello, si possono visitare tutti gli interni arredati come camere da letto e sala da ballo, le cucine, i sotterranei e salire sulla torre dalla quale è possibile vedere uno splendido panorama della baia circostante, compresa la costa svedese. Si raggiunge comodamente in 40 minuti da Copenaghen. Cosigliatissimo!!

Worth visiting !
Lovely and very interesting place to visit. A lot of information about the connection with the Danish royal Family Helpful staff !

A must for Shakespeare enthusiasts
We were staying in Copenhagen but were keen to see this castle because of its connection to Shakespeare's Hamlet. Our visit formed part of a coach tour which also took us across to Sweden so we had limited time here, although we were able to get a small discount on the admission price via our tour company. Recommendation is that an average visit takes about 2 hours - our coach tour allowed for 1.5 hours but we were able to see a fair amount of the castle during that time, including a quick visit to the gift shop.

Very pretty
Very cool and restored version of hamlet’s castle. Lots of cool information and recreations, it was quite immersive and the grounds were absolutely beautiful. Totally worth a visit.
Sep 15, 2024alisond63AB
Worth going through
From the outside, it’s not that interesting, but it’s really worth walking around inside. It’s been nicely restored, and it really feels like a place where people lived and did interesting things — most castles feel more like museums, I find. It’s also worth taking a look around, it’s on the beautiful headland that allowed Danish kings to collect all those tolls that paid for the fancy lifestyle.

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.

History and beauty
Enjoyed the sight and view from the Castel also some history. Some part under renovation, nice view of Sweden from top and surrounding areas good visit of small town

Una piacevole sorpresa
Il castello è molto bello e interessante per i bambini.....belli i giochi nel chiostro e divertente Amleto che scherza con i bambini.
Aug 27, 2024Adgapa
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.

Formidabelt slot med gratis historisk fortælling
Et fantastisk slot som ligger såå utrolig flot med udsigt til Sverige. Vi fik en fantastisk gratis del- rundvisning d 12 august af en meget viden mand som fortalte om slottet og dens historie og meget mere om Danmark og Sverige .

Captivating guide and castle
Visited as part of my Copenhagen Card purchase. Fortunately, I joined an English language tour with a captivating guide. Lively, humorous history of the castle and links to the setting of Hamlet. He handled the movement between rooms seamlessly. Great train system to take you to the town. A short walk to the impressive castle. Well worth the trip out.
Jul 26, 2024GaryandLesleyTravel
Definitely worth a visit
Kronborg Castle originally built between 1574 & 1585 by Frederick II all but the chapel was destroyed by fire in 1629, ironically its reconstruction was funded by Christian IV the same King that years later could not afford to reconstruct his own castle. Unlike Frederiksborg castle this one is laid out simply and more like it may have been in the day making it easy to imagine how they lived. The cask-mates are worth a visit as is the walk around the outside between the sea and the ramparts getting great views of the castle and Sweden just across the channel.

Hamlet's Castle
This is Hamlet's Castle, located on a strategic spot along the Sea. Supposedly built for protection and to collect taxes from passing boats. It is surrounded by a moat and gardens. We took a long walk around it and along the waterfront. Lovely.

Recomend
Very interesting and historic castle. Well maintained and presented, with interesting rooms and items. Information boards presented in Danish & English. Staff were friendly & helpful, speaking good English. Also nice to just wander around outside the agtes. Make sure to wear stable shoes as the underground areas are dark & uneven.

Great Daytrip from Copenhagen! Worth it
Kronborg Castle, Helsingør Day trip time, although we wanted to drive further but got prevented! However the stop in Helsingør was totally worth it, about 50 minutes from our place in Copenhagen, totally worth the drive! Kronborg is a castle and stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalized as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. (Source @wikipedia) A 17th century castle build by the Frederic the 2nd, for his wife Queen Sophie of Mecklenburg(he was 38 , she was 15), he was infatuated by his wife he build her the dream castle so to speak! Little anecdote, looking at the writings inside the Church/Chapel it was all in German, after I inquired about that, seems in their days the Nobility in Denmark would converse in German! Interesting! Lovely walk around the whole area, impressive! Enjoy! #thetourist #alifetimetrip #copenhagen #denmark #helsingør #kronborgcastle

Loved this castle
Drove here from Fredericksburg which we had visited first. Really preferred this castle- it looked more like a castle than a palace and the history was great. We did not do a tour and still felt like we learned a lot. The actors playing Hamlet and his friends are great and really get into character and will pose for photos with you.

Nel castello di Amleto
Suggestivo il castello e molto ben localizzato, interessante anche la visita interna sopprattutto la parte dei sotterranei molto ben conservati e molto sviluppati

Awesomeeee
One of the most beautiful castles we have seen. The view to the sea is to die for. Really amazing experience that I recommend.

Interesting history
Worth a visit. Take a guided tour to hear the history - a key part of Danish royalty and the importance of the location to guard against attackers.

Geschichte zum Erleben nah
Die Kronburg ist eine hervorragend gut erhaltene Burganlage. Im Innern können die Repräsentations- und Wohnräume ehemaliger Könige besichtigt werden. Die Beschreibungen in den Räumen sind sehr anschaulich. Der Gang in die Kasematten Lohnt sich vor allen Dingen zum Gruseln. Es ist dort sehr dunkel und deshalb etwas unheimlich. Der Eintritt ist bis 18 Jahre frei. Erwachsene zahlen 125 DKK.

Abenteuer im Schloss
Die Räume sind zwar weniger prunkvoll als die umliegenden Schlösser, aber gerade das macht Kronborg so besonders. Man kann im Schloss einiges ausprobieren und die dunklen Kasematten sind für jung und alt ein Abenteuer, das durch die tolle Ausstellung zu Emotionen abgerundet wurde.

Hamlet and Vikings
Simply amazing, and the place to visit while on Helsingør. It's not only the castle that inspired Hamlet, but it's full of story, amazing architecture, art, and history. Words don't make it justice

Imponente
Castello imponente costruito a nord di Copenhagen sul mare, c’è tanto da vedere sia dal castello stesso che le varie costruzioni presenti. Necessita di 3/4 ore

Un Bel Castello che ha ispirato anche Shakespeare
La visita al castello è stata come un viaggio nel passato tra le mura medievali, i saloni sontuosamente decorati, le torri imponenti e i cortili spaziosi. Sembrava di essere davvero all'interno di un racconto epico. La vista panoramica sullo stretto è molto bella, con la Danimarca da una parte e la Svezia dall'altra. Il punto culminante della visita è stato il salone del trono, dove si dice che il leggendario principe Amleto di Shakespeare abbia fatto la sua famosa comparsa. Un'esperienza davvero bella consiglio se siete in Danimarca di andarlo a vedere!!
Jan 29, 2024799giuseppev
Castello da favola.
Un meraviglioso castello nel nord della Danimarca, che guarda alla vicina costa svedese. Famoso per rappresentare l'Amleto di Shakespeare, e per ospitare nei sotterranei la statua di Ogier il Danese.
Jan 2, 2024McCloskey13
Great experience with a lot of history
A well looked after castle full of history. It was well laid out and easy to navigate around. I was there on a bad day so the views weren’t so great, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Being in the casements by myself was also completely terrifying…. never moved so quickly in my life.
Dec 22, 20239changp
Positive Aspects
It is well preserved. Paintings in the Grand Ball Room are fabulous. Tapestries in the Little Room are brilliant. The view at the top of the tower is spectacular. The WiFi connection is good.

Una fortezza sul mare
Situato nella cittadina di Helsingor questa fortezza si raggiunge con il treno da Copenaghen in meno di un'ora. Castello rinascimentale , sito Unesco, molto bello dove si narra Shakespeare abbia messo in scena il suo Amleto. Situato sulla punta estrema danese che dista solo 4 km dalla costa svedese, posizione strategica e panorama molto bello. Se volete attraversare lo stretto c'è un servizio di traghetti. Merita l'escursione e l'entrata è gratuita con la Copenaghen Card

Always enjoy this castle
Visited here during our two week road trip of Denmark. I have been here numerous times but one in our party had never been here. Especially enjoyed the tower, the climbing, as well as the gorgeous vistas. We always enjoy the dungeon, but several in our party struggle with mobility so we were unable to enjoy the entire dungeon.

Gennemført og fantastisk efterårsferie
Vi har været der i ugen 42, efterårsferien, det var en helt fantastisk udstilling. Både den i kælderen om monstre, men især den på slottet. Vi skulle hjælpe med at løse et mysterium om hvem der mon havde forsøgt at forgifte kongen. Vi kom rundt og talte med 4 engagerede og dygtige skuespillere, som hverisær spillede en karakter på slottet. Mega fantastisk. Børn på hhv 3 år, 6 år, 9, år og 11 år, som alle var dybt fascineret.

Great fun up north
Part of Copenhagen Card, the train and museum provided a wonderful excursion out of the city. We did the free tour as the castle is huge. Very interesting. Not as ornate as Rosenborg. Both wonderful to visit.
