Description
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.

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.
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.
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
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).
Excellent couple of hours.
Visited in August 2026 on a lovely sunny day. Lots to see and lots of history. Great views across the Oresund to Sweden.
Et besøg værd
I forbindelse med en miniferie i Nordsjælland skulle vi selvfølgelig besøge Kronborg Slot. Det var spændende at gå rundt i slottets værelser, besøge Holger Danske og ellers mærke historiens vingesus. Man kan sagtens bruge nogle timer på stedet.
Absolutely worth the trip from Copenhagen!
One of the highlights of the trip! Awesome to see the place where Hamlet is set, and going down into the cool damp underbelly with Holger Danske was super cool! Plenty of other people, but not too crowded. I'm glad admission and transport from Copenhagen was included in the Copenhagen Card. It was also a delight to wander the town afterwards too! Those stairs up the cannon tower were no joke!
Brilliantly inspired marriage of ancient and modern!
We absolutely loved this relaxed, unique, experimental approach to history. The first floor evocation of a party castle was just wonderful and utterly joyous! What an inspirational team of creators to bring pop music, lighting, acoustics and projectors into play to show how the castle was used hundreds of years ago. We shall smile every time we remember this visit.
Sehr lohnenswert und überraschend kurzweilig
Imposantes Schloss mit teilweise modernen „Einlagen“ wie Theaterstückchen zu Hamlet und einer „Tour“ durch ein Fest zu Hofe. Hat auch den Jugendlichen gefallen.
Definitely highlight in Denmark
This is an easy 5 star rating, it's a very pretty castle, it's part of the Danish identity and it has beautiful views of the sound and even to Copenhagen. The self-guided tour has several sections so you can choose to ignore parts (like the tower if you don't like all the stairs, or the heights from the roof). The underground / foundation section is particularly interesting.
A most interesting castle
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kronborg. A very historically and architecturally interesting castle. The interpretation was also excellent. We enjoyed the playful use of scenes from Hamlet, and also some great interactive exhibits, particularly the one about renaissance feasts.
Historiens vingesus
Imponerende slot med den smukkeste beliggenhed Der var teater på gårdspladsen Kan ses relativt hurtigt
Hamlet's Castle
The castle is really nice and you can also get great views from the towers. We watched a couple Hamlet inspired performances (for free at the castle), Hamlet in Five Minutes was really funny.
Kronborg and Hamlet
Great tour by Mark "In the footsteps of Hamlet". Managed to meet all levels of our group excellently with a personal and humouristic touch. Lovely with enactments!!
Consigliato alle famiglie
Il castello si raggiunge facilmente dalla capitale danese con il treno. Gli esterni sono suggestivi, la parte interna invece è spoglia. I bambini venngo coinvolti tramite alcune attività comprese nel biglietto di ingresso (attori che recita in costume, labirinti sotterri, caccia agli oggetti nascosti nel castello, immancabili costruzioni lego ecc)
Familjeutflykt
Trevligt område att besöka. Fint bevarat.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
