Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Stockholm!
Upon arrival at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, you will be met and transferred to the hotel. The rest of the day will be at leisure to relax or explore at your own pace. You can visit the Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm boasting cobblestone streets with well-preserved buildings, Gothic churches, cafes, bars, restaurants and Scandinavian design shops.
Day 2
Stockholm's Royal Canals
After breakfast this morning, you will embark on an included canal tour of Stockholm. The sightseeing boat departs from Stromkajen in central Stockholm, taking you through the peaceful Djurgarden Canal. As you leave the inner city behind, you'll pass famous buildings and enjoy views of historical landmarks, museums, and lush green areas. On the return journey, the stunning Stockholm skyline unfolds – a view that can only be appreciated from the water.
Stockholm, often called the "Beauty on Water" or the "Venice of the North," is built across 14 islands, surrounded by Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. With its grand public buildings, palaces, and rich cultural history, the city beautifully showcases its 700-year-old heritage.
After the tour, you will have the rest of the day at leisure. You can visit the Vasa Museum, home to the impressive 17th-century Vasa ship that sank on its maiden voyage and was later salvaged and restored. Additionally, explore the Stockholm City Hall, an iconic landmark where the Nobel Prize banquet is held, known for its stunning architecture and panoramic views of the city from its tower.
Day 3
Stockholm at Leisure
For these two days, you will have the freedom to explore Stockholm at your leisure, experiencing the city as you feel.
During your free time, you can visit the beautiful interior of Stockholm's City Hall and explore some of the world-famous museums the city has to offer. You can discover the Nobel Prize Museum, the ABBA Museum, the Vasa Museum, or Skansen, an open-air museum showcasing Swedish culture and traditions. Additionally, take a stroll along Drottninggatan, or Queen Street, lined with shops, bars, and cafés.
Day 5
Train from Stockholm to Copenhagen
Stockholm (Sweden) - Copenhagen (Denmark). After breakfast, make your way to the train station (it's a short walk from the hotel) to board the train for a scenic 6.5-hour train journey to Copenhagen, Denmark. Along the way, you'll enjoy picturesque views of the Danish and Swedish countryside, rolling hills, charming villages, and peaceful lakes, offering a relaxing and scenic experience as you travel between the two cities.
Once you have arrived in Copenhagen, make your way to the hotel for check-in. You will then have the rest of the day at leisure to enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants, explore or relax.
Day 6

Cruising through the city’s charming canals, you'll discover Copenhagen’s beauty from a unique vantage point.
Day 7
Copenhagen at Leisure
For the next two days, you’ll have the freedom to explore and experience Copenhagen at your own pace.
You might like to visit Tivoli Gardens, the city’s famous amusement park with beautiful gardens, historic buildings, and a magical atmosphere at night when thousands of lights glow.
If time allows, try biking around the city like the locals — Copenhagen is world-famous for its cycling culture, and you’ll see people of all ages riding through the streets to work or school.
