Kronborg Castle, chosen by Shakespeare to place his Hamlet, stands on a peninsula in the Øresund Strait. This fortress, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, symbolizes Danish maritime power, personified in the mythical Ogier the Dane, who is said to continue walking through the subways in which he was supposedly buried. Its impressive mass surrounded by moats seems to defy the sea and inside you can admire magnificent rooms such as the king and queen's apartments, the ballroom or the chapel.

The most famous playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, was inspired by Kronborg Castle to set one of his most famous plays: Hamlet. It is worth visiting the rooms and corridors where the ghost of the late king reveals to Hamlet who his murderer was. Every summer Hamlet is performed at Kronborg Castle.
