This 6,5-hour tour gives you a great opportunity to see the castles and countryside north of Copenhagen. You will leave Copenhagen and travel up the “Riviera” road to Helsingør. As you travel along, you will have a beautiful view of the Øresund Strait with the Swedish coast beyond.
The first stop will be Kronborg Castle in Helsingør. The impressive Kronborg Castle is the setting of Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet”. Today Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe and was added to UNESCO’s List World Heritage Sites in 2000.
Then you continue to Frederiksborg Castle. The Castle Gardens include an English style romantic garden and a more formal French baroque garden, recreated in 1996, to replicate J.C. Krieger’s gardens from 1725.
Your last stop will be at Fredensborg Castle for a 15-minute photo stop. This castle is the Danish Royal Family’s spring and autumn residence and is often the site of important state visits and events in the Royal Family. It is the most used of the Royal Family’s residences and the palace gardens are among Denmark’s largest historical gardens and are Denmark’s finest example of a baroque garden. The castle is not open to the public.
