Kronborg Castle
Saturday - June 11th 2022
Today was already our last day in Denmark and since didn't want to spend
another whole day in Copenhagen, we decided to visit
Kronborg Castle
in Helsingor. After breakfast at the Espresso House we took the train from
Copenhagen Main Station and about an hour later we arrived in Helsingor. There
we took a walk along the harbour to Kronborg Castle and once we had purchased
our tickets, we did a walking tour through the castle. Kronborg Castle is especially
famous for being the setting of William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet. The
castle was very impressive and after we finished our sightseeing tour of the
fortress, we stopped for a beer at a bar near the harbour.

Since it was already noon we got hungry and so we gave the
Elsinore Street Food Market
a try. Located in an old shipyard the street food market offered many
different food stalls from around the world. First we ordered our food and
drinks and once we found a table, we dug in. Claudia had a Chinese platter
and I got the Oriental platter and both were delicious. In the afternoon we
just strolled around Helsingor, but unfortunately the city didn't offer a
lot for sightseeing and soon we took the train back to Copenhagen. There we
got a coffee at Starbucks and then we relaxed a bit at the hotel. Later we
got bagels for dinner and spent the evening having drinks at the street food
market.

Returning Home
Sunday - June 12th 2022
Our flight back to Vienna departed around 7:00am, which meant we had to get up
pretty early. We took the metro to the airport and there the security
screening took quite some time, but we caught our flight and about two hours
later we arrived in Vienna. We still had some time to kill until our train to
Salzburg was departing and so Claudia and I had a late breakfast at one of the
many airport restaurants. Finally it was time to catch the train and in the
early afternoon we were back home in Salzburg.
