The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark remains one of the most iconic works penned by the legendary William Shakespeare between the years 1599 and 1601. Holding the record for Shakespeare’s lengthiest play and a heady twelve thousand words longer than the average Shakespearean play, Hamlet is a mesmerising tale of revenge, betrayal, lost love and existential angst.

Set in the regal landscape of Denmark, this profound tragedy narrates the ordeal of young and tortured Prince Hamlet, driven to the brink as he grapples to avenge his father's death, confirm his uncle's guilt, and navigate through his mother's hasty marriage to the alleged murderer. The tale intensifies with spectres, feigned madness, and a looming invasion from the Norwegian Prince Fortinbras presenting a captivating spectacle.

When to visit Hamlet

Determining the perfect time to embark on this literary journey ultimately depends on your preferences and companions. If you are planning a family holiday, coordinate your travel plans with school holidays for a seamless experience. September is recommended as the crowds dwindle, and the weather tends to be more enjoyable.

Those considering a visit to the Southwest United States, March through to May is worth considering for the delightful temperatures and unique wildlife sightings, including grizzly bears and humpback whales. Contrastingly, winter proves to be a fantastic time to enjoy various snow activities for adventurers at heart visiting regions near the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains.
