In-Depth Information
The main sight at the busy port town of Helsingør (Elsinore) is imposing Kronborg Slot, a
brute of a castle that dominates the narrowest point of the Øresund. It was made famous as
Elsinore Castle in Shakespeare's Hamlet, although the intimate psychological nature of the
play is a far cry from the military colossus squatting on the shore.
Beyond Hamlet's pad, Helsingør has no shortage of atmospheric historic streets, laced
with half-timbered houses, Gothic churches and a medieval cloister.
Frequent ferries shuttle the short trip to and from Sweden, filled with Swedes on a mis-
sion to buy cheap (it's all relative) Danish alcohol.
