Spectacular Scandinavia and its Fjords - Small Group
Travel from Copenhagen to Oslo on a Small Group tour through the capitals, harbors and fjord country of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Explore Copenhagen, Stockholm, Bergen and Oslo with your Travel Director and Local Experts, spending time in royal districts, historic waterfronts and new cultural neighborhoods. Between the cities, you’ll ride the Flåm Railway, cross the Hardangervidda plateau and sail Geirangerfjord, pausing at a stave church, former mining towns and lakeside villages. Along the way, meet family-run producers in Voss, join fika in Gränna and visit glacier researchers in Fjærland, keeping local life and landscape at the center of the trip.
Tour Itinerary
Arrive in Copenhagen, a compact capital shaped by sea trade, civic planning and Danish design. Meet your Travel Director and fellow small group travelers over dinner and drinks to get to know the group and your journey ahead. Later, you’ll visit Tivoli Gardens by night. Opened in 1843, it remains one of Europe’s oldest amusement parks, set around gardens, pavilions and performance venues, with illuminated walkways and classic rides still woven into the original plan.
Explore Copenhagen with your Local Expert, who will set the city’s royal, political and harbor districts in context as you view the Little Mermaid, Christiansborg Palace, Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace, and Nyhavn. In the afternoon you’ll have time at leisure to explore further, perhaps visiting a museum, browsing design shops or following the waterfront on foot or by bicycle. Perhaps join an Optional Experience into the countryside north of the city to discover the castles of North Zealand, where royal residences and coastal landscapes show a different side of Denmark.
Travel into Sweden and on to Gothenburg, a harbor city shaped by North Sea trade and 17th-century fortifications. Here, join a walking tour that brings together local food traditions and the city’s trading history, from a fish bun lunch at Feskekörka to sweet tastings in the market hall with your Local Expert. The rest of the day is at leisure; explore the Haga district’s wooden houses, visit an art or maritime museum or spend longer by the harbor.
Travel through Sweden’s lake district, following the shores of Lake Vättern towards Stockholm. You’ll pause above the town of Gränna at Grännaberget cafe for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, meeting Mattias at his family-run 18th-century cafe. Here you’ll take part in fika, the Swedish custom of pausing for coffee and something sweet, with pastries from local farms and producers. Continue to Stockholm, Sweden’s Baltic capital spread across 14 islands with a preserved medieval center on Gamla Stan.
