North Zealand

North Zealand is the northern area of the Danish island of Zealand. Overlooking the Øresund Strait in the city of Helsingør, Kronborg Castle provided the setting for Shakespeare's “Hamlet. ” Global art fills the glass-fronted Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in the nearby town of Humlebæk. Inland, in Hillerød's 17th-century Frederiksborg Castle, the Museum of National History has royal portraits and decorative arts.
