What to expect

Explore the castles surrounding Copenhagen to gain a better understanding of the influence of kings and queens. The oldest monarchy in the world has kept the kingdom together for over a thousand years through conquest and defeat, splendor and tragedy, reformation, occupation, and democracy. Walk through the halls telling the stories of the people in power and how the many kings have shaped the history of Denmark.

You'll travel 45km in the countryside to the town of Hillerod to enjoy a guided visit to the imposing Frederiksborg Castle. It's the largest Renaissance castle in northern Europe from the 17th century and now National History Museum rebuilt for the Carlsberg foundation in 1882. It was built as a hunting lodge surrounded by a lake and royal gardens. Important events such as coronations, weddings, and international treaties have taken place here.

Then, you'll continue further north for a photo stop at Fredensborg Palace, the royal family's summer residence, ending at Helsingor town, the nearest point in between Denmark and Sweden divided by the baltic sea. You'll get a panoramic view of Kronborg Castle, guarding the entrance to the Baltic Sea for over six hundred years. From this point at Helsingor town, you'll enjoy free time to have some snacks and discover the narrow city history where the Danish king controlled the trade into the Baltic, generating revenue for the crown. After the tour, you'll be taken back to Copenhagen.
