Ferry to Helsingor?

We’ll be driving to Copenhagen from Stockholm and are wondering about taking the ferry from Helsingborg to Helsingor to see Kronburg Slot and then south to Copenhagen instead of driving down to Malmo and over the bridge. It’s a little bit longer time-wise, but not enough that we’re worried about it. Does this plan make sense?

Two notes - (1) we’ll have already done the bridge at the start of the trip; and (2) we may not make in to Kronburg before it closes at 5pm - so we may only be doing this for a picture from the parking lot.

I think it makes sense. There are also nice views of Kronborg from the ferry.

I've taken the ferry lots of times, and you don't need to pre-book. The ferries depart every 20 minutes, so even if there is a que it moves fairly quick. Prices are a bit lower online, especially if you can commit to a 2-hour depature window. Book directly with the operator on www.forseaferries.com

On the way to Copenhagen, you can also consider a stop at Louisiana MOMA, which is often open late. If you're into castles, you shouldn't miss Frederiksborg Castle in nearby Hillerød.

Sounds like a good idea to get some variety.

I agree, visit the sundeck for the best view.
