Hamlet Castle and WW2 Tour

7-hour tour of Kronborg Castle, North Zealand, Jewish rescue routes and WW2

Embark on a picturesque tour along the Öresund strait, which divides Denmark and Sweden, en route to Elsinore north of Copenhagen.

Explore Kronborg Castle
Delve into the rich history of Kronborg Castle, one of Denmark’s most renowned and grandiose castles. Known as the Castle of Hamlet, this castle has housed the royal family and is said to have inspired Shakespeare’s writings on Hamlet.

Hornbæk – The Danish Catskills
Following the Kronborg Castle visit, we journey to the charming village of Hornbæk. Here, you can savor a delightful lunch while learning about the notable presence of Jewish families from Copenhagen in this area. Additionally, Hornbæk served as the northern headquarters for the Nazi army.

Gilleleje Town: The contrast of hope and despair for Danish Jews During World War II
Our next stop is the city of Gilleleje, just 5 miles away from Hornbæk. This city played a significant role in the rescue of Danish Jewry during World War II. More than 1,400 Jews found refuge through Gilleleje, but the city also witnessed tragedy when over 80 Jews were discovered hiding in the attic of Gilleleje Church.

We will share poignant stories with you and guide you on a walk to visit some of the 7 bronze plaques installed in October 2013 in remembrance of the 70th anniversary of the daring rescue mission in October 1943.
