As you leave Copenhagen and head north, for almost a whole hour the coastline of Sweden unravels as you continue through magnificent Danish countryside and coastline towards Elsinore and Kronborg Castle. Now amongst the universal cultural heritage, under the UNESCO convention, Kronborg has reached exclusive status for being the only example of a Renaissance Castle. It is easy to understand why William Shakespeare chose Kronborg Castle as the setting for his famous play 'Hamlet' as you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. You will be able to explore the castle's interior as you are taken through the Chapel and the Knights' Hall (the longest room in Northern Europe) and the dark casemates.
After a lunch break (not included), the tour continues towards Fredensborg, where the Queen's summer residence of Fredensborg Palace is attractively located in the middle of a lovely park, bordering the idyllic Esrum Lake.
The next highlight on this tour of many highlights is Frederiksborg Castle, built by King Christian IV in 1601 - 1625. This pearl of history, built in magnificent Renaissance style with a touch of baroque, is now a national historical museum, containing treasures of painting, tapestry, porcelain, silver and furniture.
