So, what do you need to know about Helsingor? Since most people have only heard of Copenhagen from Denmark, chances are it’s mostly unfamiliar to you. Nevertheless, many people end up visiting Helsingor from Copenhagen as it’s one of the more common day trips from the capital. That’s because it’s a small coastal city north of Copenhagen with plenty...
Most visitors to Helsingor do the exact same thing upon arriving in the city and that is head to Kronborg Castle. This seaside castle is the city’s most famous landmark, both because it’s beautiful and because of its classic literary connection. This is the castle made famous in Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet”, although in the story it’s known by the n...
A sign that you’ve had a good time in a museum is the feeling that you easily could have spent longer there. I say that because I easily could have spent longer at the M/S Maritime Museum. The fact that I hadn’t even planned to go there originally speaks to how much I enjoyed it there. It’s honestly one of the best and most underrated things to do ...
The only thing separating the island of Zealand, which Helsingor is on, from Sweden, is the narrow Øresund strait. While travellers often pop over the Øresund Bridge to visit Malmo from Copenhagen, the two countries are even closer up at Helsingor. It’s pretty easy to see the Swedish coast from the city’s waterfront, especially from the roof of Kro...
Beyond where to go sightseeing in Helsingor, another thing worth knowing is where to have lunch. That’s especially true if you’re doing a day trip from Copenhagen as your time will be limited. With so much to do down by the waterfront, the restaurant at the Kulturværftets Culture Centreis an ideal place to stop. Serving up delicious smørrebrødand h...
No matter where I go, one thing that’s always on my itinerary is time to walk about. Helsingor is perfect for a wander as the city centre has quite a few pedestrian streets. The city’s main streets are lined with shops and restaurants and don’t particularly stand out, but the side alleys are a different story. Whenever possible, duck down the side ...
A particularly memorable part of Helsingor’s Old Town, at least for me, were the houses along the Strandgade street. On this street you’ll find some of the oldest houses in the city, as the area used to be Helsingor’s old waterfront. Yes, while it may be several streets back today, hundreds of years ago it was a different story. For instance, that ...
Up to this point, I’ve neglected to mention Helsingor’s churches so let’s fix that. The first place in Helsingor I came across was the Carmelite Monastery from the 15th century, but it requires pre-bookingand a service was happening at the time. So instead, I decided to visit the city’s nearby cathedral, St Olaf’s Church. The tower of St Olaf’s is ...

Europe. Fascinating Helsingør commands the narrowest point of the Øresund, the sound that separates Denmark from today's Sweden. In the 15th and 16th centuries the city became immensely wealthy by taxing shipping that had to pass this way between the Baltic Sea and the open ocean. For a sizeable town, Helsingør has done a pretty good job of ...
