The Nordic Cities of Copenhagen, Gothenburg & Stockholm comprise a melting pot of culture, exquisite architecture, and delectable cuisine, renowned across the world. Boasting the title of ‘happiest place on earth‘, it’s easy to see why this clean living nation are so content.

Bursting with family-friendly attractions, beautiful castles and gardens, Denmark’s capital city Copenhagen invites you in with its thriving restaurant scene. Home to an extraordinary 15 Michelin star restaurants, this historic city is also the home of hygge, loosely translated in English to ‘enjoy’. The elusive concept of hygge portrays a warm atmosphere where you take time away from the daily rush to relax and enjoy life’s quieter pleasures; a very important aspect of Danish culture.

Whilst in Copenhagen, take advantage of your included 72hr City Card, utilising the excellent public transport network to make the most of this fascinating city. We recommend visiting the UNESCO listed Kronborg Castle to admire this world-famous setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet – visit in August to the catch the open-air theatre! Of course, no visit to Copenhagen would be complete without seeing Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid Statue on the harbour or breathing in the nostalgia of Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest theme parks in the world and the inspiration for Walt Disney himself.

Leaving Copenhagen behind, admire the iconic Oresund Bridge (bridge of ‘Nordic noir’ fame) as you travel on a scenic rail journey to Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg. With picturesque archipelago islands, this vibrant city is home to the highly regarded Museum of Art alongside some of Europe’s best breweries specialising in craft beer. Make use of your included 72hr City Card to explore a range of sites across Gothenburg.

Famous for their sauna traditions, no trip to Sweden would be complete without it. The free sauna in Frihamnen has a unique appearance set atop the river; you can also swim in newly opened saltwater and freshwater pools here. We also recommend participating in the Swedish tradition of ‘fika‘ (meaning to take a break with a friend to enjoy a coffee and some baked goods) – this has become a world-wide sensation and a cherished concept amongst Swedes.

Hop back on the train as you journey to Stockholm, Sweden’s adventurous capital city. Set atop 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, Stockholm is an effortlessly beautiful international attraction where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. Boat trips, kayaking and paddleboard adventures are very popular ways to see the city from a different perspective.

We recommend taking the ferry to explore the expansive Stockholm archipelago, uncovering a whole new side to the city. Vaxholm island is a must see with its traditional wooden houses and locals enjoying homemade ice cream on the waterfront. Again, you can take advantage of your included 72hr City Card to discover all that this wonderful Nordic city has to offer.
