A private, 4-hour Kronborg Castle trip from Copenhagen. Train tickets and entry included, with a guide to connect Hamlet and Elsinore.
“Guide très sympa et avenant. Visite guidée très bien organisée. Le temps était aussi de la partie (ciel bleu comme en Provence), donc j'ai passé un bon moment. On n'y trouve pas vraiment des informations ou des éléments autour d'Hamlet, son histoire, sa génèse. Le château aurait pu miser sur cela pour dédier une salle racontant cette légende et ce que Shakespeare en a fait, peut-être même des photos d'interprètes ou de mises en scène légendaires. Cela valoriserait davantage le déplacement.”
