Learn about its fascinating history and how it inspired Elsinore in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” Then, soak up the romantic setting of Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, surrounded by a beautiful lake and gardens. Head next to Roskilde, the former capital of Denmark. Visit Roskilde Cathedral, the burial site of 39 Danish kings and queens, including Ingrid of Sweden, spouse of Denmark’s Frederick IX, father of the current Queen Margrethe II.

We loved our guide Sillas! He's very passionate about his job and country. All the sites we visited he always had a lot of history to share and a great sense of humor. We were very lucky to have him today.
