Kronborg Castle
Posted by Naomi on Feb 14, 2009 in doing stuff in Copenhagen |
This weekend we caught the train in the opposite direction up to Helsingør to visit Kronborg Castle (which was where Shakespeare set Hamlet). Today was another beautiful sunny (freezing!) day, and the wind off the Øresund as we walked around the headland to the castle was VERY brisk! The Øresund at this point is only 4km wide and you can see across to the Swedish town of Helsingborg, a fact that was extremely uninteresting to Hugo.
He was much more interested in the Castle itself, especially when we reached the children’s room, with lego galore. They also had a table set up for making masks, but I think this might be for the Danish Carnival (Fastelavn ) celebration, not a regular activity.
