Itinerary:
Day 1: It Begins!
Leave your home and head to the airport. Pack a pillow, you’ll probably be flying through the night!
Day 2: Arrive
When you land in Copenhagen, Denmark, you will meet up with the group. Since most flights to Europe fly through the night, it is likely that you will arrive sometime in the morning or early afternoon. I will meet you all at the airport and help you transfer to the city, if we are able to arrive around the same time. We will spend our afternoon trying to stay awake by roaming the streets and Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park, the third oldest operating amusement park in the world. (Walt Disney even visited when he was making his amusement park plans.) Entrance will be included in the tour, but this does not include the cost of the rides. That is an additional $27.
Day 3: Day in Copenhagen
For our first full day of adventure, we will starting with a two hour bike tour to give us the highlights of Copenhagen. Denmark is one of the world’s most bikeable countries, so putting our feet to the peddles will be a great way to truly experience the city. We will have the afternoon to enjoy the many cute shops, cafes, and colorful streets. A pastry while in Denmark, is a must. There’s no danish like a Danish danish, I always say.
Day 4: To Stockholm
Just like that, we’ll be on the train to Stockholm. The nearly 6 hour ride will allow us to see the countryside of these Scandinavian destinations and maybe squeeze in a nap or two. Upon arriving, we will join a walking tour of Stockholm’s scenic old town to give us a little history and orient us to our new country.
Day 5: Royal Stockholm
We will spend several hours of our day exploring Stockholm’s Royal Palace, one of the largest palaces in Europe and home to Sweden’s sitting royalty. This will give us the afternoon to explore any sights that have been calling to us during our time there.
Day 6: Fly to Bergen
Day six of our journey will include a short flight to Bergen, Norway. Depending on the time of our flight, we will either having a relaxing morning in Stockholm before we depart, or a relaxing evening upon arrival.
Day 7: The Fjord Life
Bergen is called the capital of the fjords and we will spend our time in the city with a walking tour and a ride on the funicular for scenic views below.
Day 8: The Mountains Are Calling
This day is sure to be an epic adventure! We will join Sognefjord in a Nutshell™ for a 2 day excursion from Bergen to Oslo, by fjord cruise and train. The first leg of this journey will be on a fjord cruise on the Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. We arrive in Balestrand by noon and plan to stay the night. This is our chance to experience the countryside of this rugged nation and even get in some hiking. Full discloser, I’m not a person who loves to hike, but hiking is available for those who do.
Day 9: The Scenic Route
For our last full day in Scandinavia, we will complete our journey to Oslo via the scenic Flåmsbana, the Flåm Railway, and on Bergensbanen, the Bergen Railway. We will arrive late in the evening in Oslo. Sadly, we will have run out of time on this trip to explore Oslo, but you are welcome to extend your time if you feel the need to explore more.

Day 10: Home Again, Home Again
All good things must come to an end, even trips. We’ll pack our bags, share our photos, and head to the airport.
