Kronborg Castle
Kronborg Castle (Kronborg Slot) is situated near the town Elsinor. Kronborg is known for many as "Elsinore," the setting for much of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
Oresund Bridge
This mega-structure is formed by a bridge that has one of the longest cable-stayed main spans in the world (490 metres), Peberholm - an artifical island, and the Drogden Tunnel.
The highest pillar is 204 metres in high. The total length of the bridge is 7,845 metres, which is approximately half the distance between the Sweden and Denmark shores, and it weights 82,000 metric tons.
The bridge ends in the middle of Oresund, on the artificall island Peberholm. The island is more than 4 km long and a few hundred metres wide. It belongs to Denmark and is now an unpopulated natural reserve.
The connection between Peberholm and the nearest populated part of Denmark is through a 4,050 metres long tunnel, called the Drogden Tunnel. The reason to build a tunnel here instead of another bridge is that it is too near the Copenhagen Airport.

Is a new art museum near the capital of Denmark, that was conceived and created by Copenhagen County. It is located in the suburb-city Ishoj, close to the bay of Koge, 20 kilometers south of Copenhagen.

Its location is the elegant seaside town of Humlebaek, located 19 minutes north of Copenhagen.
