For several centuries Denmark obtained significant

economic income by charging a tax on ships that


crossed the Oresund Strait, a strait that separates the
Danish island of Zealand from Swedish territory.
Kronborg Castle played an important role in this
fundraising task.
Today the castle is home to the Kronborg Maritime and
Trade Museum. Some of its rooms can be visited by the
public.
It is the place where Hamlet, Shakespeare's play, takes
place. In this work, Kronborg Castle is called "Elsinore".
Copenhagen dazzles the traveler with the perfect combination of
tradition and modernity that it boasts. Royal palaces and avant-
garde buildings coexist in one of the most modern and pleasant
cities to live in Europe with a more than remarkable cultural offer
with places as interesting as the National Museum or the Royal

SCHOOL
Theater.
Copenhagen is also ideal for exploring by bicycle or public
transport, making it one of the most environmentally friendly cities
on the planet.
In the city of Billund, Denmark, there is Legoland, a famous
amusement park for both children and adults. It was built in
1968 and is noted for its impressive sculptures made of millions of

5B
LEGO pieces, such as a bull more than 10 meters high and replicas
of world wonders, such as Abu Simbel. In addition to enjoying these
sculptures in Miniland, the park offers other areas such as
Adventure Land and Pirate Land with more exciting
attractions. You can reach Legoland in about 3 hours by car
or 4 hours by train from Copenhagen.
