Crowning Glories
Most visitors gravitate to Helsingør's magnificent Kronborg Slot, otherwise known as
Elsinore, home of Shakespeare's indecisive antihero, Hamlet. But don't ignore Frederiks-
borg Slot, a glorious Dutch Renaissance-style confection. Divine Dragsholm Slot com-
bines food and finery with aplomb.
Investigate the Viking Era
Got a thing for rugged, hirsute marauders? Be wowed by Viking ships at Roskilde, ponder
the enigmatic ring fortress at Trelleborg, and get swept into the Iron Age lifestyle at the
experimental archaeology centre outside Lejre.
Coastal Capers
Gorgeous white-sand beaches line the northern coast, and summer beachgoers create a
sunshine-and-ice-cream vibe in favourite spots such as Hornbæk and Tisvildeleje. Coastal
trails give access to the stunning landscapes of Stevns Klint.
