Overview

Get swept up by tales of stone and sea while taking in murals and sculptures on this self-guided audio tour through Helsingør. You’ll stroll the cobbled streets of this medieval town, from the train station along Helsingør Harbor Promenade and through the old shipyards, once the lifeblood of Helsingør, to Kronborg Castle. There, you’ll walk the seaside stone ramparts. But there’s more to this tour than just Kronborg Castle. You’ll also explore the medieval town of Helsingør, a charming tapestry of half-timbered houses and narrow streets. You’ll visit St. Mary’s Church and Priory, with its quiet cloister that’s even older than Kronborg Castle, and have the opportunity to enjoy a coffee on Axeltorv, the town square – or, in summer, a frozen treat at the 100-year-old Brostræde Ice Cream, where our tour ends.

Please note: Kronborg Castle is one of the highlights of this tour, and we will tour the outside and offer tips on what to look for if you choose to pay the fee and go inside.
