About this tour

Enjoy this self-guided audio walking tour through cozy and maritime Helsingør, also known as Elsinore.

Helsingør's heart beats to the rhythm of the sea, its maritime history is as deep and wide as the waters it overlooks.
This is a city that has watched sailors and ships come and go like the ebb and flow of the tide.
In front of the city stands the magnificent Kronborg Castle, its spires piercing the sky with authority.
The castle is furthermore immortalized by Shakespeare as Elsinore, the setting for his tragic play "Hamlet".

The Sound Dues, locally known as Øresundstolden, were a toll paid here, a maritime cashbox where every single ship passing through the strait had to pay a duty to the Danish Crown.
The city's intimate connection with the sea remains ever-present.

The tour starts and ends next to the train station in Helsingør.
Note: All the audios can be read too.
Entrance fee to the Kronborg Castle is NOT included.

Happy exploring!
