Welcome to Copenhagen

Full day tour to Elsinore and Kronborg Castle

Shakespeare knew about it, but he almost certainly never set foot in the Kronborg palace where some of the most extravagant parties of the 16th century were thrown.
The castle is extremely well preserved and a lovely place to visit.
The town itself isn't too shabby either. Quite the opposite in fact. A walk through this picturesque town with it's narrow streets and half-timbered houses takes you back in time and gives a great impression of life in Denmark back in the day.

I personally love visiting Elsinore. It's never too crowded or busy, and a great place to talk about danish history and the country's path to the modern welfare state of today.

Train ticket from Copenhagen Central to Elsinore - and back.

On this tour, we will explore the most significant parts of inner Copenhagen. We will mostly be in the medieval part of town - and see a few things outside such as Amalienborg where the queen lives, the Marble church, and the iconic Nyhavn (New Harbour).

We will explore the origins of Copenhagen, the era of the powerful kings, the reformation, the birth of democracy, and not least the modern life as it takes place in this old city, be it architectural high-lights or the biking culture.

I have a wide area of interests that I can draw on, and from living abroad (in the US, Argentina and Germany), I can also put things into perspective. I thoroughly enjoy exploring Copenhagen, my native city, with visitors, and I look forward to make it the best possible day for you.
