Kronborg Castle
Kronborg Castle, majestically located on the coast of Helsingør, is one of the most famous castles in Denmark – and a must for any convertible tour along the Marguerite Route. Famous as the setting for Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Renaissance castle combines history, theater, and impressive architecture in one of the most beautiful places in the country. The drive in the convertible along the coast is an experience in itself – with a wide view over the Øresund and fresh sea air on your face.
Convertible enjoyment along the coast to Helsingør
The drive to Kronborg Castle is one of the most beautiful sections of the Marguerite Route. Starting from Copenhagen, the route leads through Klampenborg, across the green North Zealand, and past elegant resorts like Rungsted and Humlebæk – always with views of the sea. With the roof down, this stretch becomes a true delight: gentle curves, wide views, and charming villages ensure a relaxed driving experience in typical Danish atmosphere.
On the way, it’s worth taking a detour to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art – located right on the route – or making a brief stop at one of the many small cafés directly by the water.
Kronborg Castle – Experience history up close
At the destination awaits Kronborg Castle – powerful, proud, and absolutely impressive with its location right by the sea. The castle dates back to the 16th century and played a central role in Denmark's history. It served not only as a royal residence but also as a military base and trade center.
Today you can immerse yourself in its wonderfully furnished halls, explore the dark casemates, or experience a theater performance of “Hamlet” – in the very setting where Shakespeare placed his drama. The view from the castle out over the Øresund to Sweden completes the visit.
