This is Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, Denmark. It takes about an hour by train from Copenhagen. If you are also going to Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, you can efficiently visit two castles by going from Copenhagen to Hillerød and then to Helsingør. It is said to be the model for Elsinore Castle in Shakespeare's Hamlet, and is a World Heritage Site. It is a castle with a stately appearance, but the interior is simple. Apparently, plays based on Hamlet are sometimes held here. #EuropeTrip #Denmark #KronborgCastle

This castle is a must-visit castle in the Greater Copenhagen area of ​​Denmark, and Kronborg Castle is even listed as a World Heritage Site!! Helsingør is a port town north of Copenhagen, only 5 kilometers away from Helsingborg in Sweden. There are many ferries from Helsingborg in Sweden to Helsingør. Many Swedes come to Denmark to buy beer and whiskey because they are much cheaper than in Sweden. Kronborg is also the prototype of "Eisinor Castle" in "Hamlet", one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies. It is now listed as a World Cultural Heritage. You can see Kronborg by walking straight out of the station. It is very close, and the Maritime Museum is next to it. Kronborg is one of the most important castles of the European Renaissance. It is open only until 5pm and displays some medieval furniture and oil paintings. But I really like the feeling of coming to the port city of Helsingør. Follow the signs and officially enter the city. After entering the wall, there are several small houses on the way to the castle, which look very cute. The ticket is a still from Hamlet. Because the British literary giant Shakespeare's Hamlet (The Revenge of the Prince) was written with Kronborg as the background. Because of Hamlet, Kronborg was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. The castle is as plain as others say, but because it is so plain, they arrange Hamlet's play to be performed at different times and in different corners, so when you walk to a certain place you find that they are suddenly performing a play, which is quite interesting. They will walk around you in their costumes. They are very hard-working actors. When we were enjoying the scenery at the top of the tower, an actor suddenly appeared and walked around. I thought he was going to act and waited for a while, but he just looked at the scenery and left. Finally, as we were about to leave the castle, we happened to encounter the finale of the plot being performed in the atrium. The actors yelled "Follow me! My Friends!" (They were not pretending to be mini-Mayers and had good lung capacity.) Then a large group of tourists including us followed the actors all the way into the castle and watched the last few scenes, including the grand finale in the hall. This part was quite interesting!

Let's first briefly review the story of Shakespeare's famous play: Hamlet - The Revenge of the Prince: The king, Hamlet's father, died suddenly. The king's brother, Hamlet's uncle, immediately declared himself the heir to the throne and married the king's widow (Hamlet's mother) as queen (which is incest~~) >o< So the uncle became Hamlet's stepfather. Hamlet always felt that there was something fishy about his father's death, and when he saw his father's ghost running to him, he felt even more that it was a murder. In the end, Hamlet finally killed his stepfather and avenged his father. But Hamlet also died after drinking the poison...it ended in tragedy! The story of Hamlet takes place in Kronborg. Shakespeare had never been to Kronborg during his lifetime, but he still wrote this popular story. That year also happened to be the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare, and the famous play Hamlet was performed in Kronborg in June. (The male lead is so handsome!)

#Overseas travel Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, Denmark is a pretty castle next to the sea. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Helsingør Station to Kronborg Castle. In the 1420s, a fortress was built at the farthest tip of Denmark's Zealand, the narrowest point of the strait between Denmark and Sweden, to strongly block any possible Swedish invasion. This castle is right there. #Denmark travel #Denmark

Location: The Kronborg Palace is located in Helsingr, the northern city of Copenhagen, across the sea from the Swedish city of Helsingborg. Hamlet's prototype: Shakespeare's Hamlet was created on the basis of this palace, so the Kronborg Palace is also known as Hamlet Castle. In addition, the Kronborg Palace is situated on the seashore, with a grand architectural style and a beautiful scenery. It looks like a fairytale castle from a distance. Highlights: There is a bronze hand on the wooden bridge leading to the Dockenburg Palace, which is very interesting and will be scared if you are cold. There is a miniature map in front of the castle with the layout of the entire castle. From a photo point of view, we can clearly see that the two are almost identical. The kings bedroom has a passage to connect to the battlefield outside. A king can personally do it, regardless of the danger of life, guarding the city, is really the blessing of the people! There will be a series of "Hamlet" plays at different times, from costumes, props, and lines, so realistic and shocking! Its like the scene at the time immediately reappears in front of you, making the castle more lively! :: Outside the Kronborg Palace, it happened to find a few swans and its babies. The dean is very fond of swan, not because it represents purity or what, and their loyalty to their partners, the vast majority of swan is monogamous, and often accompanied by life, this is today's human A quality that is difficult for society to have.
