Hamlet's Castle, Lund and Malmö 2-Country Tour
About This Experience
A nine-hour coach day from Copenhagen Central Station: an hour at Kronborg, seen from the ramparts outside, free time in Helsingør, the ferry across the Øresund to Sweden, Lund Cathedral, then Malmö and back over the Øresund Bridge. Castle entry and lunch are extra; bring a passport.
Who It Suits and What to Know
A nine-hour coach day that crosses into Sweden one way and comes back the other: north along the coast to Kronborg and Helsingør, over the Øresund by ferry, down through Skåne to Lund and Malmö, and home across the Øresund Bridge. Rated 4.7 from 4,774 reviews. It leaves from Banegårdspladsen 4, beside Copenhagen Central Station, and comes back to the same address.
The tour is the one to pick when you want Sweden and Hamlet’s castle in a single day without planning trains, a ferry and a bridge yourself.
Who it suits: first-time visitors with one free day who want to see two countries, a castle, a cathedral town and a Swedish city, in that order, with the transport arranged. Who should look elsewhere: anyone who wants to go inside Kronborg (castle entry is not included, and the stop is about an hour), and anyone who wants a long afternoon in Malmö, which a train day on your own gives you.
What to know before you book:
- Included. The coach, commentary through an audio guide in English, Spanish or Italian, the ferry across the Øresund and the bridge crossing home.
- Not included. Entrance to Kronborg Castle and lunch. The castle stop is a visit to the ramparts outside, about a 10-minute walk from the coach.
- The order of the day. About an hour at Kronborg, an hour and a half of free time in Helsingør, the ferry, Lund Cathedral and the lanes behind it, then free time in Malmö with a photo stop at the Turning Torso.
- Bring a passport. Every traveller needs one for Sweden, and a forgotten passport means getting back to Copenhagen at your own expense.
- Access. The coach is not accessible for wheelchair users.
The price is from US$138 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
