Coming To Scandinavia

You Are In Denmark When You See Hamlet’s Castle, originally uploaded by Ralph Grizzle.

Also called Kronborg, the castle and the events that took place there inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The castle is open for guided and self-guided tours daily from the 10:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Entrance fees range fro DK30 to DK85. The latter includes entrance to the Danish Maritime Museum. The Copenhagen Card, which includes admission to the Danish Maritime Museum, reduces the cost of the complete tour (normally DK85) to DK60. I’ll be posting more on the castle later.

The pleasant stroll from the ferry to Kronborg takes about 15 minutes — or only five minutes bike. Tickets can be purchased inside the castle.
