Kronborg Castle

in Helsingør, Denmark

This is bucket-list item for anyone traveling to Denmark. I was fortunate enough to visit Copenhagen for 8 days in May this year. Kronborg is also UNESCO world heritage site. Also known as "Elsinore" in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, or some simply call it Hamlet's castle.

I took some pictures of this magnificent stronghold.

Upon arrival in Helsingør:
