The experience
A full-day guided trip to three of Zealand’s major sights: Kronborg Castle, Frederiksborg Castle and Roskilde.
The day covers Kronborg Castle in Helsingor, the Renaissance fortress on the Oresund strait known worldwide as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet, followed by Frederiksborg Castle, Scandinavia’s largest Renaissance palace, and a stop in the cathedral town of Roskilde.
A guide travels with the group throughout, giving historical context at each stop rather than leaving the connections between three quite different sites unexplained.
