Walking tour of Helsingør
In the 15th century the Danish kings rule over all of Scandinavia. Elsinore (Helsingør in Danish) becomes one of the largest and the richest cities in the kingdom after the introduction of taxes on ships crossing the strait separating the modern day borders of Denmark and Sweden. The walk covers the history of Elsinore to the present. You will hear about tradesmen, Shakespeare, shipbuilding, and the cultural city it is today.
Lunch at Skipperhuset
Literally meaning ‘The Skipper’s House’ in English, this modern Danish restaurant is situated in a historic building right on the waterfront of the idyllic Lake Esrum. The historic building has been transformed into a contemporary Danish bistro focusing on open-faced sandwiches (“smørrebrød” – a Danish lunch staple.)

The wonderful Great Hall is located on the 2nd floor above the Castle Chapel. The Great Hall is a replica of the hall in the time of King Christian IV, equipped with all the magnificence the King had at his disposal. In addition to the hall, which is impressive in itself, visitors can see beautiful tapestries and portraits of the members of the House of Glücksburg, including Niels Strøbek’s paintings, Three Generations, a portrait of Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Christian and Three Life Stages, a portrait of Prince Henrik.

Skipperhuset- During the day, the restaurant interior is lit up by sunlight dancing in the lake. But you'll want to eat outside and enjoy the view of Lake Esrum in June.
