2. Admire the most famous Danish castle of them all- Kronborg

Kronborg Castle is arguably the most famous Danish castle of them all – for which it probably owes a lot to a certain English playwright and the role of the castle in his seminal ‘Hamlet’ play. More than 400 years later, it’s still there in all its glory – and totally worth the 40 minute train ride North of Copenhagen to the old harbor town of Elsinore, where its located.

3. Visit another country, take a day trip from Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden

Discover the inviting Swedish city of Malmö just across the sound from Copenhagen, a modern metropolis with a charming small town feel on a Copenhagen to Malmö Day Trip.

One of the perks of being a small country with a well-functioning public transport system is that you can get from A to B quite quickly – even if ‘B’ means another country. This is where Malmö, Copenhagen’s ‘little brother’ and main city of Southern Sweden, comes in. Taking just 30 minutes from Copenhagen by train, the trip does require a passport, as there is a temporary border control in Sweden.

Tour includes
5h private guide services
5h private vehicle
Round transfer across Öresund strait & bridge
Malmö panoramic sightseeing tour on foot and by bus/ car
Free time for lunch/ coffee break/ shopping
