* Guided tour "In the footsteps of Hamlet" for you: If you are a fan of Shakespeare, a lover of hiking, ancient towns and architecture of the 16th – 18th century, you want to visit the only UNESCO castle in Denmark, see the setting of Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet and relive the play by walking through the halls of the ancient castle of the 16th century, go exploring the intricate castle dungeons to meet the Danish hero Holge A Dane who protects the peace and well-being of the Danish kingdom. "Kronborg on the starboard side!" This command traditionally announces the return of Danish sailors to their homeland. It is here, in the Oresund Strait, that this powerful outpost, Kronborg Castle, is located, embodying in the national consciousness of the Danes a major milestone along the entire route from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea. Kronborg Castle, like a huge ship, rearing its towers and masts, crashes the nose of the forward bastion into the very vortex of the fast-moving "Sound", as if sailing out to intercept ships hurriedly gliding through the strait. We will start our tour from the shopping area of Helsingera. In English, it is called Elsinore and is located 45 km from Copenhagen. There is a bronze monument to the 15th century Danish king Eric of Pomerania on the square. It was from his reign that the greatness and prosperity of the city began, which a century and a half later, in the era of Shakespeare, would become the beauty of the whole of Northern Europe. Narrow cobblestone streets radiate from the square, the architecture here has hardly changed since Shakespeare's time. After walking through the streets of Helsingera, we will go to Kronborg Castle. Moving from room to room in the castle, we will be able to follow the action of the play "Hamlet" act by act. Climbing the flag bastion, we will see the majestic, dramatic panorama of the strait and immediately understand why the Ghost appears here. We will look into the queen's drawing room, where the unfortunate Polonius, killed by Hamlet by mistake, hid behind a trellis, eavesdropping, and also where the famous monologue "To be or not to be?" was uttered.

Уважаемые путешественники, добро пожаловать в компанию «Viking Tours»! Мы не просто туристическая компания, мы группа профессиональных гидов, за плечами каждого из нас своя история, которая привела нас в Данию, но всех нас объединяет любовь к Дании и Копенгагену. Мы обожаем свою работу, за последние 8 лет мы обошли, объехали и исследовали Копенгаген вдоль и поперёк и будем рады поделиться с вами секретами Копенгагена на наших экскурсиях. Поэтому, если вы хотите узнать Данию с точки зрения местных жителей, исследовать секретные места и уютные дворики, прогуляться по средневековым улицам, окунуться в городские истории, увидеть великолепные дворцы и захватывающие пейзажи, то вы пришли в правильное место! Меня зовут Максим, я являюсь основателем компании «Viking Tours». В 2006 году я переехал в Копенгаген и по уши влюбился в этот город и его атмосферу. Я начал узнавать больше о Дании и создал блог, чтобы поделиться некоторыми интересными фактами, которые мне удалось обнаружить. Потом я понял, что люди интересуются не только историей страны, но и укладом жизни, привычками и обычаями датчан. Затем я познакомился с людьми, которые разделяли мою страсть – любовь к Дании и таким образом началась история компания «Viking Tours».
