Today I went to Helsingborg and Helsingör for a class field trip! We took the train up to Henlsingborg and then got on a ferry to go across to Helsingör. The picture above is right when we started to cross over to Denmark.
This is an example of the type of streets that they had in medieval cities, with the drainage ditch in the center. Apparently, Shakespeare is said to have sat in the gardens of some of the houses on this street while he wrote Hamlet. His theater troupe also gave several performances near this street, although the exact house and yard they used is unknown.
Our professor for the day, Anders Odman, in his bright jacket...
This is the Kronborg Castle, which is known as Elsinore in Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. Hamlet has been performed at the castle several times.
We visited the Carmelite Monastery, which is the oldest remaining monastery in Scandinavia. We had a guided tour and got to see all the history and art that is preserved in these buildings.
