We will meet at the city town hall square (Rådhuspladsen) at 3 pm for the walking tour, and take the boat around 4.30pm from Nyhavn (at the anchor). Afterwards we will go to a nice restaurant Riz Raz (not covered by CBS).

  • Saturday, 2 July – Visit to Helsingør, 10am
Join a visit to one of the most beautiful cities in Denmark. It is easy to be charmed and captivated by Heslingør. The city is surrounded by Kronborg Castle, the lively harbour and the well-known shopping street. Thanks to Shakespeare's drama about Hamlet, which is set here, it is now a world-famous sight, and today, Kronborg is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Helsingør is one of Denmark's best-preserved cities with many pastel-coloured, half-timbered houses and picturesque, cobbled alleys.
Meeting at the central station at 10 am (under the big clock in the big hall).
Guide: Edita

Please note that you have to rent a bike in advance.
