Details

Step outside Copenhagen for a full-day guided small-group tour focused on Denmark’s castles, cathedrals, and Viking heritage. Travel in a group of no more than 16 guests, with hotel pickup and drop-off included for a smooth experience.

Begin at Kronborg Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site best known as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Your driver-guide will explain the castle’s history and its connection to the famous play.

Continue to the Frederiksborg Castle, the largest Renaissance-era castle in Scandinavia. You’ll have time to explore the castle independently, with admission included. The visit also allows for a lunch break, giving you flexibility in how you spend your time.

Next, stop at Roskilde Cathedral, Denmark’s largest cathedral and one of Northern Europe’s most important royal burial sites. From November to March, this will be a photo stop only outside the cathedral.

Finish the day at the Viking Ship Museum, where you can learn how Viking ships were built and discover stories from Denmark’s early history.

This small-group format ensures a more personal atmosphere and plenty of attention from your guide throughout the day.

Sillas was fantastic. Just the right amount of history, subtle humor, direction to stay on schedule. Very personable and the 8.5 hour tour flew by. Very enjoyable experience.

Our guide Sillas was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. Was a real bonus being picked up from our hotel. This full day tour spent the perfect amount of time at each venue so the day went really quickly without feeling neither rushed or dragging on (although in fairness we did come in the middle of winter so maybe on a lovely summer day we might have appreciated more time outdoors). Travel time never exceeded 45 minutes between locations so the balance between travel and walking around the sites is bang on. The castles are incredible and well worth venturing out of the city to see, I think it would have been a shame to come all this way and not have seen them.
