Many thanks…. I do like a castleIn Copenhagen you absolutely have to see Rosenborg Slot, the royal palace built by King Christian IV within the city. It’s an architectural beauty, small but perfectly formed and anyone will be wowed by its contents, including the Danish Crown Jewels. There’s a pair of earrings he gave to his mistress made out of fragments of a cannonball that nearly blew his head off and blinded him in one eye in a naval battle. It’s quirky, beautiful and easy to access.
Out of town there are options an hour by train- Elsinore Castle, the setting for Macbeth and wedding venue of James IV of Scotland. Then Frederiksborg Castle with gardens reminiscent of Versailles.

Elsinore Castle, the setting for Macbeth
We’ll spotted, my bad and a very diplomatic way of putting it! He wrote Macbeth for James IV/I who coincidentally he had his wedding there in the Chapel Royal. It is of course the setting for Hamlet.Was there a cigar called Macbeth?

Surstromming is a must eat delicacy for anybody visiting Sweden.

Alas poor Banquo, I knew him Horatio. Is this a dagger I see before me, or is it nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune?

If you do this, and I agree, maybe book dinner at Nimb? We did this on a weekend break in Copenhagen. Not only was the food excellent, but you get free entry to the Tivoli Gardens via a private entrance from the hotel. So a nice post-prandial stroll around the gardens as it is getting dark.Agreed, but best visited after sunset, when it really lights up.(obviously)
