Yule Market at Kronborg Castle

This tour will take you, the kids, and the seniors, to the Yule Market at Kronborg Castle.
Also, enjoy both the medieval Kronborg Castle (some called the Hamlet Palace) and the magnificent Frederiksborg Palace.

This is a full day for the entire family with a visit to both a Christmas Market and the incredible Frederiksborg Palace.

• If you enjoy Christmas Markets at medieval castles and visit a unique Renaissance palace, this tour must be the epitome of that wish.
• OpheliaTours will bring you the Christmas Marked at Kronborg Castle, the medieval castle that inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet and Ophelia.
• We have planned for 3 hours at the Kronborg Castle so you can enjoy both the Christmas market and have time to explore the castle itself.
• There are both do-it-yourself and individual stalls in the courtyard of the castle.
• While you are at the Christmas Market the ticket of course also includes full access to the Castle itself.
• Unfortunately, we can not do guided tours due to the Christmas Market that day.
• A short intro will be made by your driver on the way into the Kornborg Castle.
• After Kronborg Castle, the tour goes to the town of Hillerod.
• In Hillerod you have 3 hours, so you would have some time to see the Frederiksborg Placae and maybe get some lunch or have a short walk along the walking street in Hillerod to soak in some local Christmas atmosphere Danish Style.

Food and beverages – Danish Style (Christmas Style)

The following is important to know about Danish Christmas food and cookies/sweets:

First things first;

• Danish and Scandinavian Christmas food and sweets originate mainly from the late 1700s to mid-1900s and some even long before.

• Pork in a variety of ways is mixed in and used in both food and cookies.
• Then forget about gluten-free. There is very very little chance to get gluten-free products.
• Lactose-free – not really. It’s generally not a big thing Christmas or not.
• Sugar, yes of course, and the more the merrier.
• Nuts, almonds, spices, and fruits, knock yourself out, it is in the products.
• Alcohol drinking alcohol and beer is for the average Dane and Northen citizen a natural way of living. So there is alcohol in the beer and glögg!
• Low cholesterol and low-calorie food or sweets. It’s Christmas in Denmark. So just don’t even think about this.
• Eating sweets, and food and having a beer or some glögg while you walk around in the courtyard. That’s why it is outdoor. [please don’t eat or drink inside unless in designated areas.]
