Private Copenhagen Shore Excursion with Kronborg

TOUR DESCRIPTION

You will be met by the guide at the gate of the cruise harbor in Copenhagen.

After a short ride in a public bus you can feel yourself like a local. In 10-15 min we will arrive to the very center of Old Town Copenhagen - the King's New Square.  We will see the iconic New Harbor canal - with the colored medieval buildings and lots of historic wooden boats.

We will walk through one of the longest pedestrian streets in the world (not the whole street of course) and see the main monuments from the Middle Ages: - churches and the Round Tower (going up the tower is optional at your own expense). In Old Town you will see the center of the Jewish Community at the Great Synagogue. Further on, we'll get to Castle Island and the stupendous building of the Danish Parliament and the Old Stock Market.

From the central railway station of Copenhagen we will take the train to Helsingor town, where the legendary Shakespeare's “Hamlet’s Castle” - Kronborg is situated. You will visit Kronborg Castle with a guided tour and feel the atmosphere that inspired William Shakespeare to his famous tragedy tale. You will learn about real history of the place and find out the truth about the “Hamlet. ”

After a tour of the castle we will return to Copenhagen by train and depending on the time you can either get off at the cruise terminal or spend the rest of your free time in Copenhagen and get back with the bus.
