We explore the stunning natural beauty of the three premier Royal capital cities of Scandinavia. Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm are all known for their fresh clean air, a plethora of parks, green spaces and beautiful architecture including grand royal palaces, all in picturesque waterfront settings.

ITINERARY

Day 1

We fly to Copenhagen and transfer to our hotel in the city where we stay for two nights. The evening is left free to enjoy dinner in a restaurant of your choice.

Day 2 Copenhagen

Denmark’s capital of Copenhagen is home to the world’s oldest monarchy. Around the city there are castles, palaces and statues, the most famous being the Little Mermaid. The city also boasts many parks and gardens, including the enchanting Tivoli Gardens. A network of charming canals thread through the city and its lovely waterfront is lined with colourful buildings. We see some of these sights on our guided city coach tour, followed by free time to explore at leisure. Tonight, we enjoy dinner together back at the hotel.

Day 3 Øresund Bridge & Oslo

Today we transfer between Copenhagen and Oslo, enjoying the scenery along the way. We leave Copenhagen over the impressive Øresund Bridge, and arrive in Sweden where we head northwards before crossing the border into Norway and travel on to our hotel in Oslo, our base for the next two nights with dinner included.

Day 4 Oslo

We enjoy a guided city tour of Oslo. Norway’s capital city is built on the shores of the Oslo Fjord surrounded by rolling hills and forests. Parks and open green spaces are an integral part of the landscape of Oslo including the renowned Vigeland Sculpture Park. Other attractions include the Royal Palace and the medieval Akershus Castle which dominates the harbour front. After our tour of the city we have free time to look around for ourselves; perhaps pay a visit to Oslo’s Bygdøy peninsula, where you’ll find the Norwegian Maritime Museum and the Viking Ship Museum.

Day 5 Stockholm area

We check out of our hotel and head towards Stockholm. After crossing the border, we travel across Sweden to the east coast where we check in to our hotel in the Stockholm area for the next two nights with dinner included.

Day 6 Stockholm

Located on the Baltic Sea and spread out over 14 islands, over a third of Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm is made up of waterways, and a third more is green spaces. We enjoy a guided city tour to see its highlights, including the Old Town; one of the largest and best-preserved medieval city centres in Europe and the location of the Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral. After our guided tour, there’s free time to explore at leisure.
