On exiting the castle, wander the majestic Baroque manicured and styled gardens and grounds.
Next, you'll head to Kronborg Castle, the spectacular setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet! It was made a UNESCO world heritage site in 2000. It is one of the most spectacular and important Renaissance castles in Europe with majestic spires, towers, columns, sandstone, and copper roofs. Your guide will take you on an intimate tour of this magnificent palace that for 400 years served as the royal headquarters for the collection of the Sound Dues. With its guns and cannon pointed at the ships sailing past, Kronborg was legendary among sailors and diplomats in its heyday in the late sixteenth century.
