The city and municipality of Helsingør are rich in history, attractions, and authenticity. Surrounded by the Øresund, with beautiful beaches to the north and south, and the enchanting forests and natural beauty of Kongernes Nordsjælland National Park. A vibrant and modern cultural city with deep roots in history.
Elsinore is home to one of the country’s most iconic cultural and historical treasures and a world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site— Kronborg Castle. It is the setting for Shakespeare’s *Hamlet* and the legend of Holger Danske.
