    Café Karisma

    Grab a coffee and a fresh juice at this healthy café on the pedestrian street. The outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching before the crowds arrive.

    Modellen af Kronborg Slottet

    Walk 11 minutes NNE to the miniature model of Kronborg Castle. This is your viewing spot. Arrive early enough to find a good angle along the moat where the golden light hits the model and the real castle in the background aligns.

    Café Brohus

    Stay at the castle compound. Head to Café Brohus in the yellow 'bridge house' by the moat. Order a beer or ice cream to enjoy while the twilight settles over the water.

Local tip

Café Brohus is seasonal (March–October). If you are visiting outside these months, check the route to another spot inside the compound like Krone B, which is open daily until 17:00.

Check before you go

  • Café Karisma closes at 16:00 on Saturdays, so arrive before then.
