    What's the story

    Copenhagen, Denmark's vibrant capital, is not just about sleek design and cool cafes.

    It's a gateway to a realm of historical marvels, including fairy tale castles and imposing coastal forts.

    These landmarks tell tales of royal extravagance, fierce battles, and architectural genius.

    A weekend exploring these sites offers a unique blend of cultural enrichment and visual delight.

    Royal retreat

    Step into royal grandeur at Rosenborg Castle

    Rosenborg Castle, built in the early 17th century by King Christian IV, is a testament to Denmark's royal heritage.

    More than a residence, it's a repository of art, culture and history. Its halls boast the Crown Jewels and centuries-old royal artifacts.

    The surrounding gardens offer perfect settings for strolls or picnics, enhancing its appeal as a historical and leisure destination.

    Shakespearean fame

    Uncover history at Kronborg Castle

    Kronborg Castle is not only significant for its architectural beauty but also as the setting for Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

    This UNESCO World Heritage site, located on the northeastern tip of Zealand at Helsingor, offers breathtaking views of Sweden across the Oresund Strait.

    Guided tours reveal captivating stories of royal banquets, knightly tournaments, and military sieges that echo through its halls and dungeons.

    Coastal fortress

    Explore maritime might at Kastellet

    Kastellet, one of Northern Europe's best-preserved fortifications, was built in the 17th century to shield Copenhagen from sea invasions.

    Now a tranquil public park, it invites visitors to explore historic ramparts, old military barracks, windmills, and a quaint chapel.

    Ideal for history enthusiasts or those seeking serene green spaces in the city, it offers a unique blend of history and tranquility.

    Lakeside elegance

    Discover tranquility at Frederiksborg Castle

    Nestled in Hillerod north of Copenhagen lies Frederiksborg Castle—a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture surrounded by stunning baroque gardens that seem to float on Lake Slotssoen's tranquil waters.

    This castle houses the Museum of National History, which showcases Denmark's past through portraits, paintings, and historical artifacts within opulent galleries.

    The reflective beauty of the lake adds an ethereal quality to this majestic site.
