Timeline

  1. 10:00

    Danmarks Tekniske Museum

    Head to the Danmarks Tekniske Museum. The museum opens at 10:00 on Tuesdays through Sundays. Spend the first hour exploring the impressive collection of steam engines, cars, and the world's first typewriter inside the former iron foundry.

  2. 11:30

    Cafe Chaplin

    Walk ten minutes to Cafe Chaplin for lunch. Located in an old half-timbered building facing the main square, it offers outdoor seating and a garden patio. The menu includes brunch and mains, and the venue employs people with physical and psychiatric disabilities as part of a CSR programme.

  3. 12:00

    Café Brohus

    Take a short walk to Cafe Brohus inside the Kronborg castle compound. Sit in the yellow 'bridge house' by the moat to enjoy coffee or ice cream. This is the best spot to relax and view the castle grounds, especially if you grab one of their picnic baskets for the green surroundings.

Local tip

Check the museum opening hours before you go, as it is closed on Mondays. Cafe Chaplin is open daily from 10:00 to 16:00, making it a reliable spot for lunch after your museum visit.
