Gather at the airport and embark on the journey to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, situated across 14 islands and connected by over 50 bridges within an expansive Baltic Sea archipelago.
Commence the day with a guided tour of Stockholm. Our initial stop involves capturing photos at Stockholm City Hall, a charming edifice famous for hosting esteemed Nobel Prize banquets in its Blue and Golden Halls. Following this, delve into the Old Town, where you can admire the grandeur of the Cathedral and the Royal Palace. Visit the Vasa Museum, witness the Vasa ship, which tragically capsized and sank in Stockholm in 1628. Rescued after spending 333 years on the seabed, this formidable warship is now the sole surviving 17th-century vessel in the world, rendering the museum one of Scandinavia's most visited attractions.
Note: If circumstances prevent us from visiting the Vasa Museum, it will be substituted with an entry to City Hall, or will be replaced with alternative arrangements.
Today, we'll set off for Karlstad, a charming city situated along the Klarälven River in Varmland County, Sweden. Renowned for its proximity to the neighboring Lake Vänern to the south, Karlstad boasts Sweden's longest stone bridge, the Old Stonebridge, which stands as one of the city's most frequently photographed landmarks. We'll cross the border into Sweden, ultimately arriving in Hamar for an overnight stay.
Embark on your journey starting at Trollstigen, a mesmerizing mountain pass with eleven hairpin bends winding up steep mountain sides in Romsdalen valley. Experience the awe-inspiring Stigfossen waterfall, graced by a magnificent bridge spanning its cascade. Traverse Ornevegen, dubbed 'the Eagle Road,' for exhilarating views and an unforgettable drive. Next, enjoy a scenic sightseeing cruise across the deep blue waters of Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its breathtaking scenery of high mountains and abandoned farms clinging to hillslides. The cruise between Geiranger and Hellesylt showcases the Knivsfla Waterfalls, famously known as the Seven Sisters. Concluding our route, we'll arrive at the captivating Geiranger for an overnight stay by the enchanting fjords.
Note: The Trollstigen platform is not available during the autumn and winter months. Typically, the road remains open from late May until October, but please be aware that these dates can vary depending on the season. Hotels situated in fjord regions, may lack elevator facilities.
In the morning, you have the option to partake in an exciting excursion: the Briksdal Troll Car adventure at Briksdal Glacier. This unique experience will transport you to a point approximately 700 meters from the glacier. From there, you'll embark on a delightful walk toward the glacier, venturing into the Jostedal Glacier National Park. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord on a quiet and emission-free Fjord Cruise between Flåm and Gudvangen. The panoramic view of the beautiful and untouched fjord landscape is a memory for life! We will then transfer to the Sognefjord region for an overnight stay.
Note: Hotels situated in fjord regions, may lack elevator facilities. If the electric boat undergoes maintenance, we will substitute it with an alternative boat.
Today, you have the option to embark on an unforgettable train journey through the Flam Railway, to a continuous spectacle of serene rivers, waterfalls, and mountain farms perched precariously on snow-capped peaks. Following this, our travels continue to Bergen, a charmingly Norwegian city with an unmistakable small-town allure. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the bustling Fish Market, located at the heart of the city. Meander through the narrow, picturesque alleyways, and explore the diverse array of shops and galleries that adorn the historic Bryggen district. Next, we'll take a ride on the Fløibanen funicular, one of Bergen's most renowned and frequently visited attractions. This funicular offers access to mountain walks and boasts magnificent panoramic views of the city.
Today, we'll continue our journey to the Hardangerfjord region, known as the second longest fjord in Norway, stretching 179 kilometers with a maximum depth of 900 meters. Along the way, we'll pause for a photo stop at Steinsdalsfossen, a waterfall with a 50-meter drop. What makes it unique is that you can walk safely and dryly behind the falling water. As we continue, we'll pass by the impressive Hardanger Bridge and make another stop at Voringfossen, the 83rd highest waterfall in Norway, for a photo opportunity before proceeding to Gol for our overnight stay.
We'll journey to Oslo, the capital of Norway, where our exploration of this city begins. Our first photo-stop is the City Hall, adorned with a vibrant array of motifs that vividly depict Norwegian history, culture, and lifestyle. Drive pass the neo-classical Royal Palace. And don't miss the Vigeland Sculpture Park, a remarkable attraction showcasing the life's work of sculptor Gustav Vigeland, featuring over 200 life-sized sculptures in bronze, granite, and cast iron. Following our exploration of Oslo, we'll board an Overnight cruise (Seaview Cabin) to Copenhagen, Denmark's capital.
Arrive at the lovely city of Copenhagen and go on a city tour to take in the sights of the famous amusement park Tivoli Gardens, the City Hall Square, Hans Christian Andersen Statue, and Christiansborg Palace. Stop by The Little Mermaid sculpture, which was inspired from the fairytale and the mystical Gefion Fountain. If traffic conditions are fair, we will make an additional pit stop at Nyhavn for some picturesque photos.
Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure till it is the time to transfer to the airport for your flight home.
