Denmark Helsingør Kronborg

Let's first briefly review the story of Shakespeare's famous play: Hamlet - The Revenge of the Prince: The king, Hamlet's father, died suddenly. The king's brother, Hamlet's uncle, immediately declared himself the heir to the throne and married the king's widow (Hamlet's mother) as queen (which is incest~~) >o< So the uncle became Hamlet's stepfather. Hamlet always felt that there was something fishy about his father's death, and when he saw his father's ghost running to him, he felt even more that it was a murder. In the end, Hamlet finally killed his stepfather and avenged his father. But Hamlet also died after drinking the poison...it ended in tragedy! The story of Hamlet takes place in Kronborg. Shakespeare had never been to Kronborg during his lifetime, but he still wrote this popular story. That year also happened to be the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare, and the famous play Hamlet was performed in Kronborg in June. (The male lead is so handsome!)

#holidayitinerary Exploring Helsingør was such a chill and lovely experience. The town has this cozy coastal vibe that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every corner. It’s super walkable, with cobblestone streets, cute little shops, and colorful buildings that feel straight out of a storybook. I started near the harbor and wandered through the old town, passing bakeries, local boutiques, and street musicians that gave the place extra charm. The views across the water to Sweden are amazing, especially when the light hits just right. I loved how peaceful it felt even though there was plenty to see. There’s also a cool vibe near the culture yard, with modern art touches blending into the old port area. It’s a small city but full of character. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re already heading to Kronborg Castle. Just a great spot to relax and explore.
