Kronborg Castle Helsingor Denmark

Helsingor ferry

My Second Visit to Beautiful Scandinavia, drove from  Almhult Sweden to Helsingborg.

From Helsingborg Sweden I took the ferry to Helsingor (Danish) or Elsinore (English Name), 20 minute ride by ferry and the ferry runs all day long. The ferry was packed with Swedes going to Denmark to buy Cheaper Alcohol

Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO's World Heritage Site and the main attraction in Helsingor, it is the castle of Shakespeare's Play Hamlet
