On this guided full-day tour you will visit North Zealand, famous for its beautiful coastline and charming fishing villages, lovely sandy beaches and views to Sweden across the Øresund.
North Zealand is also synonymous with the historic Kronborg Castle (Helsingør/Elsinore), a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Frederiksborg Castle (Hillerød) – and you will get to see both on this day tour.
You will also be cycling through the Nationalpark Royal North Zealand where Danish kings in the 17th and 18th centuries would demonstrate their power and sovereignty during their par force hunting games.
