Copenhagen

Your day is spent exploring Copenhagen. First settled by Viking fishermen in the 11th century, the city steadily grew into the cultural and political centre of Denmark. Your three-hour private tour with driver guide reveals many of the landmarks, such as Rosenborg Castle, built in 1607 as a royal summerhouse; Frederik’s Church with its eye-catching green dome; nearby Amalienborg, the official residence of the Danish royals; and the steeple-topped City Hall.

Your local guide may take you to see the canal-side Gothenburg City Museum, which houses exhibits that reveal the city’s 400-year history; Gustav Adolfs square, named after the founder of Sweden and watched over by his statue; the nearby 18th-century German Church; and the port – a historically significant centre of trade.

Stockholm

This afternoon, enjoy entrance to the Vasa Museum, which preserves the hull of a 17th-century warship.
