Kronborg, or Hamlet's Castle, is a good 45 min north of Copenhagen. The walk from the station is a good 20 min, but it's an enjoyable one as you go right by the water. You can actually get pretty far without actually paying for a ticket (basically right up to the castle). The castle itself is pretty cool, particularly the great hall.
- Kronborg Castle is an hour's drive from Copenhagen, so if you are visiting Copenhagen I recommend you visit it. Outside the castle, there is a beautiful territory, inside the castle everything is also beautiful and interesting. I especially liked the casemates!
