Ready to be versed in all things Copenhagen by our on-road expert? We'll kick things off today with a walking tour – hitting the likes of City Hall, Nyhavn and the National Musuem of Denmark. Then: make like Dora and get exploring! Jump aboard an optional canal tour (those rainbow-coloured townhouses need #nofilter – trust us).
Hire a bike and explore this chilled-out Scandi city on two wheels. Tuck into a smorgasbord of Nordic cuisine. Discover the city's thriving craft beer scene. Or go vintage with a visit to Tivoli Gardens – an OG amusement park and the inspo for Disney World. Time it right, and you can take in the sunset from the top of the giant chair swing. Cue: alllll the goosebumps. (B)
Wave ‘hej hej' to Copenhagen (yep, it's ‘hi' twice – we don't make the rules). Today we've got Sweden in our sights – specifically the canal-packed seaside city of Gothenburg. When we roll in, we'll take to the water on a Paddan boat tour. Expect: a 17th-century moat, a LOT of bridges and historical facts galore. Then? The arvo's all yours.
Need local tips? Your Trip Leader's got ‘em. Get your culture fix at Gothenburg Museum of Art. Perfect those panos from the viewpoint at Skansen Kronan fortress. Or seek out a traditional cinnamon bun the size of your head. This evening: gather your trip mates and head to Tredje Langgatan street for good grub, good wine and good company. Guaranteed. (B)
Hear that? That's the sound of a free day in the mind-blowing Fjordlands. Practise your bows and curtseys – ‘the king of the fjords' awaits. Jump on a kayak and glide the glassy-blue waters of the Sognefjord in style. Take to two wheels and W-O-W your way past soaring mountains and glistening glaciers.
Sharpen your spears, sling on a horned helmet and head to Viking Valley for the lowdown on how the locals lived approx 1,000 years ago. Or uncover a slice of real Norwegian life at the magical glacier village of Fjærland (spoiler: they like books here. A lot). Tonight: swap stories over our included group dinner. (B/D)
Time to tunnel outta here. This morning we're heading eastwards via the Lærdal Tunnel – the world's longest road tunnel. Then: Lillehammer's calling! Our fact-filled Trip Leader will give us the run around the Netflix-famed ski town on an orientation walk. Next: put those included chairlift tix to good use (read: their only use) and feast your eyes on allllll the city-and-lake panos from the top of Lysgårdsbakkene ski jump.
And after? Rewind time at Maihaugen open-air museum. Crank up the culture at Lillehammer Art Museum. Or do as the locals do and sniff out a steaming bowl of fårikål lamb stew (unless you're veggie, obvs). (B)
Onwards! This morning we're making tracks for the iconic Scandi city of Stockholm. Fun fact: this place is built on an archipelago of 14 islands where the Lake Mälaren flows out to the Baltic Sea. Cool, right? After our Trip Leader helps us get our bearings, grab a kanebullar for the road and go explore! Snap a pic at Stortorget and watch the changing of the guard at The Palace.
Take the ferry across to Djurgården and hit up the Vasa Museum (a must), Skansen Museum and the ABBA Museum. Or head to ultra-hip Södermalm for a local vibe and trendy cafes. Whatever you choose, make sure you're back in time for tonight's group dinner – we're going to give this Scandi adventure the send-off it deserves! (B/D)
