Your Copenhagen tour begins with a drive up Riviera Road with its spectacular views of the Oresund Strait on your way to Hillerod.

A quick bus trip to Elsinore will bring you to the impressive Kronborg Castle, which is the setting of Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. One of Northern Europe's most important and famous Renaissance Castles, Kronburg was built between 1574 and 1585 on the seaward path to the Sound Oresund to help defend Danish interests in the area and collect tolls as ships passed through the strait.
