The Shipyard Museum

Other things to do in Helsingør

Ferry trip to Sweden

Just a short walk from the hotel, ferries depart regularly between Elsinore and Helsingborg. The 20-minute crossing offers both easy access to Sweden and a pleasant mini-cruise — with dining, sea views, and fresh air on the sundeck.

Øresund Aquarium

Dive into the underwater world of the Øresund Aquarium — a small, family-friendly saltwater aquarium where you can meet local sea creatures and even touch some of them.

Skibsklarergaarden

Step back 200 years and explore Elsinore’s historic merchant and customs house. Experience authentic 18th- and 19th-century interiors and learn about the Sound Dues that shaped the city’s maritime past.

Our Lady Monastery & St. Marie Church

Discover one of Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval monasteries. Founded by Carmelite monks in the 1400s, Our Lady Monastery and St. Mariæ Church reveal centuries of history — from sacred devotion to hospital care and education. Join a guided tour to explore its remarkable halls and hidden stories.

Kronborg Castle

Step into the world of Shakespeare’s Hamlet at Kronborg Castle — a stunning Renaissance fortress and UNESCO World Heritage site. Overlooking the narrow strait between Denmark and Sweden, the castle invites you to explore grand halls, hidden casemates, and the legendary figure of Holger Danske.

Explore Helsingør

In the heart of the former Elsinore Shipyard – in the area now called Kulturhavnen – you will find the Shipyard Museum (Værftsmuseet). Here you can explore the history of the approx. 400 cargo ships, ferries and frigates that were built in Elsinore between 1882 and 1983.

Discover the shipyard as a workplace and its importance for the city, and meet the people who designed, built and launched these many vessels.
