Loved taking the time to look at all of the tapestries, read the information posted around the castle, and admire the history with the walls. Self paced visit, which gave me all the time to enjoy. Afterward, walked the grounds outside.

The main attraction ( Hamlets castle from Shakespeare - even though he never visited ) of this pretty town and well worth the visit. Beautiful castle well restored. The castle tower climb and the under ground tunnels were great. There is a car park close by if like us hired a car from Copenhagen. It is very easy to drive around Denmark and clear instructions for parking. We spent over two hours in and around this castle. Lots of interesting stuff for children. The information boards in each room were in English so there is lots to read about each room and the history of the castle. We spent a week driving around this area after our three night stay in Copenhagen.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area! The grounds are gorgeous!! (and I understand free to visit; fee is for castle entrance and included on the CPH Card) The views from here to Sweden are amazing on a clear day.

A short train ride from Copenhagen, then a short walk to the castle. Walking round you learn about the history of the castle and of the region through a variety of artifacts and displays. Don't forget to visit the lower levels before you leave. Then wander back along the beach looking across the sound to Sweden.

This castle is one of the most interesting castle for me because I love theirs underground basement prison cells and inside the castle is also beautiful but most likely same as other castles or museums. Underground basement are very scary and you can feel the strange cold air. Once you reach at the entrance door of this basement you can feel the temperature drops very fast.

STUNNING. This is a magnificent castle! You don't want to miss this one. It is abut a 20 minute walk from the train station. If you want to go to Sweden, the ferry depot and train station are connected so it is very easy to do. The town is also very nice. Nice little cafes.

My wife and I visited here as a day trip from Malmo, Sweden (train + ferry). I usually find castles to be somewhat dull and overrated. Not this one - it was very interesting. The castle is in good condition with detailed signs in English. We caught the 15-minute English tour. It was very well done and extremely informative. It really made our visit and in only 15 minutes. You definitely should take the tour if you visit. Highly recommended.

This was my favorite stop on our trip. Very interactive, we felt like we got to explore the entire castle - including the casements! Actors portrayed characters from Hamlet and welcomed questions about their characters and storyline. We spent so much time here - my teenagers loved it!

This picturesque castle situated on a scenic spit of land once served as the key defensive position and toll booth for commercial activity on the Baltic Sea. It is also notable as the possible setting of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Hamlet. It is set outside the beauty hamlet of Helsignor. The exterior and its location makes for great photos but the interior which was largely destroyed by fire is not necessarily authentic to the time period although they do a great job reimagining certain spaces and giving historical context. There are a lot of activities in the castle designed for families with younger kids so it’s great for that audience. After having visited the much more impressive castles elsewhere in Denmark, this would maybe be the one to skip if you’ve reached your castle quota already. It’s a modest train ride north from Copenhagen then a short stroll along the harbor to reach the castle. Unlike the others we visited, this one wasn’t very busy on a beautiful summer day.

I had visited Kronborg over 5 years ago with my family and recently, with friends staying in Scania for a while, I took the opportunity to take them, too. The castle is of course the same: there has been some maintenance here and there, but it is still the jewel from where Danish monarchs lined their polity's pockets thanks to transit duties applied to any vessel sailing in the Öresund. The big difference - this time - was that, compared to our previous visit, which included a guide taking us across the various rooms and halls, at different locations we were met by actors playing the roles of Claudius, Gertrude and, of course, Hamlet himself. They were vying in turn for the visitors' favour, and the visitors had received ballots on which they should indicate their preference for one of the three characters as the true pretender to the throne of Denmark. The actors were top class and very entertaining, and it was a joy to see how especially the children visiting were enthralled by their performance. A very enjoyable visit overall.
