Christmas Market at Kronborg Castle + 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:

• 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.]
