Introduction

Scandinavia is a region of extraordinary natural phenomena and historic cities, just bursting with Nordic culture. From palaces to parks, castles to cruise ships, this intimate self drive tour will take you on a thrilling journey through Scandinavian kingdoms and their magnificent royal capitals, home to 21st century Kings and Queens.

Itinerary

Highlights: Stockholm’s Royal Castle and City Hall, Kingdom of Chrystal, Copenhagen’s Christiansborg Palace and the Little Mermaid, Viking ships, the Oslo fjord and Polar Exploration ship Fram.

Day 1: Welcome to the capital of Sweden
On arrival at Arlanda airport, you will be met and transferred to your comfortable hotel in the heart of the city. If you arrive early, we recommend getting the Stockholm Card, which gives you access to most museums in Stockholm, the Stockholm underground and local buses. A visit to the Vasa Ship Museum and the City Hall, with its famous Blue Hall, where the Nobel Prize banquet is held each year, is highly recommended. Spend the night in Stockholm.

Day 2: A slice of Swedish countryside
After a traditional Scandinavian buffet breakfast, you will pick up your rental car and start your drive south. Drive through the pleasant countryside of Southern Sweden to the city of Kalmar, beautifully situated by the Baltic Sea. Visit the Kalmar Castle, strategically important to Swedish defence in the past. Spend the night in Kalmar. Driving distance approx. 410 km.

Day 3: Kingdom of Crystal (Glasriket)
Drive around the ‘Kingdom of Crystal’ (Glasriket) and visit some of its most famous glassworks. There are more than 50 glassworks in this area, and many of them are open to visitors. You can find special gifts and souvenirs in many of the glasswork stores, which offer good prices. Stay the night in Ystad, with its many small, half-timbered houses. Driving distance approx. 270 km.

Day 4: Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen!
Continue west. The drive takes us through the province of Skåne to the city of Malmö. Cross over the new Öresund Bridge and arrive in Denmark and the Royal capital, Copenhagen. Copenhagen hosts many sights, including the Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace (seat of the Danish Parliament), Hans Christian Andersen's statue, Gefion Fountain, the old harbour of Nyhavn, the famous Little Mermaid and many other popular sights. In the afternoon, we recommend a wander down the popular pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, or maybe a canal tour or visit to the famous Tivoli Garden. Driving distance approx. 120 km.

 

Day 5: Shopping and sunsets en route to Oslo
After a tasty Danish buffet breakfast, you can take your pick of Copenhagen’s many shopping and sightseeing opportunities. In the late afternoon, you will board an overnight cruise to Oslo. The ship cruises gently up the Kattegat Sund on its way to Oslo. There’s both dancing and entertainment available and also a great opportunity to just relax and watch the sunset out on deck.
 
Day 6: Meet the Vikings!
Sailing up the scenic Oslo Fjord, you will reach the Norwegian capital early in the morning, ready for a day of leisure. While in Oslo, we recommend you see the world-famous Viking Ships, the Polar Exploration ship Fram, the amazing Vigeland Sculpture Park and other famous sights. Spend overnight in Oslo.
 

Day 7: Classic souvenirs
On your drive east from Oslo, make a stop at the Klässbols Linen Mill, which is open to visitors; here you’ll find quality linen goods for sale. Products from Klässbols are used by the Swedish Royal family, by Swedish embassies around the world, and by the hotels that accommodate the Nobel ceremony visitors. After the stop, continue east and drive through the beautiful landscape until you reach the famous Grythyttan Gästgivaregård, where you can make a stop for a true culinary experience. Continue to Örebro, where you spend the night. Driving distance approx. 330 km.
 
Day 8: Castle and open air museum
After breakfast, explore this little city and visit the 14th century Örebro Castle and walk through the Wadköping area. Wadköping area is an open air museum, with buildings and houses from the 17th, 18th and 19th century. The houses and buildings were moved here to make rooms for new houses in the city. When ready, continue east back to Stockholm, where you will drop off your rental car and spend the night. Driving distance approx. 200 km.
 
Day 9: Stockholm and departure day
Passengers departing on the afternoon flight will have time to explore the amazing Old Town, with its narrow alleys and beautiful medieval houses - a perfect way to end your weekend break in Stockholm. Transfer from Stockholm by Arlanda Express to Arlanda Airport.
