5.0 Skibsklarerergaarden (33 reviews)
- Collecting Sound Dues
Monday: Speciality Museums

Instructive to see accounts of the source of much of the country’s, and Helsingør’s, prosperity over many centuries. Controlling the fees levied on ships passing through Øresund was a mainstay of wealth and they ceased only in the mid-1800s under pressure from other major sea faring and trading countries. In a grand preserved building the exhibits and recreations are absorbing. A ship-chandler on the entrance floor is said to be Denmark’s oldest intact shop interior. See more..

4.5 Rosnaes Fyr (84 reviews)
- Great lighthouse!
Lighthouses

Beautiful nature, lots of history, and good guides. You first come to the little café, which serve some cookies and coffee/tea. You can also get a limited variety of souvenirs. But the main attraction is the lighthouse. Before going up you get a stone to keep while visiting, and you get binoculars for watching ships. Along the way to the top there are various exhibits from the history of the lighthouse, and at the upper level, you can climb a steep ladder to a narrow manhole for going up on the observation deck. Up here, you have a magnificent view, and around the fence you can read lots of history of the place. All texts are in Danish and English. At the ground level you walk through a very nice museum, having various exhibits on how the peninsula was created geologically, and in the next rooms you are brought through history of the site. Well worth a visit! See more..
