There are 10 km's of (very cold) water separating Helsingor and Helsingborg in Sweden and there is an operational ferry running daily.

Lots of people may have already heard of Helsingor as it hosts the castle that was made famous by Shakespeares' play 'Hamlet'. A place of pilgrimage for Shakespearean scholars from around the world. Follow in Hamlet's footsteps in the soldier's quarters and storerooms, which stretch beneath the castle and contain a famed statue of the legendary Viking chief Holger the Dane. It's a great trip out even for those not so keen on Shakespeare!
