Elsinore is located in Denmark. It is the setting of William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet."
Elsinore Castle, Denmark.
Elsinore...a port city in Denmark.
Hamlet is from Denmark. The play takes place at the castle of Elsinore and it is implied that this is the permanent residence of the court and the Danish Kings. If so, his home "town" is Elsinore Castle, which isn't a town at all. They talk about "the tragedians of the city" who have left the city to come to Elsinore. The play is vague about where this city is, just as it is about Hamlet's home town, since it doesn't matter to the way the play plays out.
Hamlet takes place in the 17th century in the 800's and the area is inside the castle in Elsinore, Denmark.

Aka, Kronborg Castle - located in Helsingor / Elsinore, north of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Denmark. The royal palace is in Elsinore, but he is "Hamlet: Prince of Denmark".
In Shakespeare's play, the Prince's name was Hamlet. However, there is a real town called Elsinore, with a real castle called Kronborg Castle, built in the fifteenth century and a favourite residence of King Frederick II, who lived there and even watched plays there in the 1570s. His son Prince Christian became King Christian IV of Denmark, one of Denmark's most notable monarchs, and must have lived in Kronborg as a boy. He was a real prince who lived in Elsinore Castle.
Made famous by Shakespeare, Elsinore Castle was the site of his play, Hamlet, and here he sets his story of the Prince of Denmark. The castle that he used for the setting of this play actually exists in the north of Denmark, in Helsingør called Kronborg Castle. The Swedish city of Helsingborg is just across the Strait of Oresund.
