The underground portion of the castle is accessed near the kitchen and is cold, dark and spooky. You can explore this area while you’re there and learn the legend of Holger Danske (Olgier the Dane).
The Grand Ballroom is where Shakespeare comes to life. You can imagine scenes from Hamlet while you take in the grandeur of former Danish Kings and Queens.
The Royal Apartments are interesting to tour and full of information about the royals who once lived there. Original furnishings were lost in a fire, but the restoration leaves you with a good impression for what they once looked like.
Pay a visit to The Chapel. It’s the only room in the castle that was largely untouched by the fire of 1629. Inside you’ll be excited to see the ornate decorations and carved wood that is so well-preserved.
The gun tower is a long climb to the top of the castle, but worth it for the awesome views of Helsingør and Sweden across the Sound.
