5.00Another must visit if you are in the Scanian region (Skǻne in Swedish). Take the ferry to Helsingborg (SE) to arrive, after 15 minutes in Helsingǿr (Elseneur DK), where Hamlet reportedly told, staring at him, to the skull he was holding in his hand, that something was rotten in his kingdom. Smallest maritime distance between Denmark and Sweden. The city, very touristy, is lovely.
Did everything right again 😃

5.00Our base camp: 'Hotel Skandia' The house dates from 1903 - but everything inside is gradually being raised to today's level. Our room (223) was spacious, clean and modernly furnished. The breakfast had everything you need. As everywhere in Denmark, English is understood in the hotel. If you're lucky - and Thomas is at the reception - German too. If you arrive by car, you should request a parking space from the hotel (it was free) or use the 24-hour parking lot behind the shipyard. On Sundays, parking is possible everywhere without time restrictions. The location is absolutely great - opposite the train station and ferry terminal. 5 minutes to the main shopping street and an ideal starting point for the city walk to all the historical sights. Free information material about this in the Kulturfærftet. Our tip: separate Kronborg Castle from the city tour. Asian dinner right downstairs or a short walk to the city center with many restaurants and bars. If you like something funny, we recommend Værftets Madmarked. A hall full of street food from all over the world. You can reach Copenhagen in 55 minutes by train. (approx. 10€ one way) Trains seem to run 100 times a day.
