Helsingør , Denmark

Free Cancellation

From $ 11.99

 

Be swept up by tales of stone and sea while taking in murals and sculptures on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Helsingør. Off the windy coast of Denmark, where the whispers of history echo through cobbled streets and the scent of saltwater lingers in the air, lies Helsingør. You’ll stroll from the train station along Helsingør Harbor Promenade and through the old shipyards, once the lifeblood of Helsingør, to Kronborg Castle. There, you’ll walk the seaside stone ramparts. But there’s more to this tour than just Kronborg Castle. You’ll also explore the medieval town of Helsingør, a charming tapestry of half-timbered houses and narrow streets. You’ll visit St. Mary’s Church and Priory, with its quiet cloister that’s even older than Kronborg Castle, and have the opportunity to enjoy a coffee on Axeltorv, the town square – or, in summer, a frozen treat at the 100-year-old Brostræde Ice Cream, where our tour ends.
