Day 6 – Helsingør & Helsingborg

| Saturday | 28.05.22 | Helsingør, Denmark & Helsingborg, Sweden |

Today I added another country to my list: Sweden! But more on that later... To begin our adventure, we took the train north from Copenhagen to the coastal town of Helsingør. Once there, we explored the Maritime Museum, paying special attention to the typography (and cool boat models!). At the end of the museum, I noticed a quote on the wall that made me laugh: "Instead of warriors or workers, we are more than ever before consumers" (Frank Trentmann, 2016).

Next, we walked around and through Kronborg Castle which was the setting for Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. Residing on the Danish coast overlooking Sweden, this castle also sat atop a series of catacomb tunnels that were... unsettling.

Finally, we embarked a quick boat for Sweden!

While we were only there for a few hours, I enjoyed the fantastic Scandinavian meal of fish and potatoes.

I can now officially nonchalantly say I popped over

to Sweden for lunch!
