A major Renaissance castle, Kronborg Castle is located right on the eastern tip of Denmark and mostly famous as a setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet.
It is a 40-minute train ride from Copenhagen to Helsingør (Elsinore) the eastern tip of the country. From here, you can take a boat to the other side of the sea strait, in Sweden, or visit Kronborg castle. Its location is not only strategical, but also fairy-tale like. Surrounded by the sea on one side and mounds and defensive walls on other sides, it sticks out of the landscape in a statement of defiance. It actually is a historically and nationally important monument to the Danes. In its cellars hides the stone sculpture of Holger the Dane, seemingly asleep, but according to legend he will wake up whenever Denmark should be threatened and will protect the country.
