Itinerary
- Day 1: Arrival in Copenhagen, Denmark
Your Copenhagen and Stockholm tour begins the moment you land in Copenhagen — Denmark’s elegant, bicycle-friendly capital.
A private transfer takes you directly from the airport to your hotel.
The rest of the day is completely yours. Take a stroll along the famous Nyhavn canal, sample a classic smørrebrød (open-faced rye sandwich), or simply settle in and soak up the city’s effortlessly cool atmosphere.

- Day 2: Frederiksborg Castle & Best of Copenhagen
Day 2 is the heart of your Copenhagen and Stockholm tour — a full day covering Denmark’s finest castle and Copenhagen’s most iconic landmarks. Today delivers the full breadth of Denmark’s magnificent history and urban culture.
Start with a short drive north to Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød — one of Scandinavia’s greatest Renaissance palaces. Set within stunning Baroque gardens on a lake, it houses an extraordinary collection of Danish portraits, furniture, and decorative arts spanning five centuries.
Back in Copenhagen, your panoramic city tour covers all the major landmarks:
- City Hall Square — the civic heart of Copenhagen
- Tivoli Gardens — one of the world’s oldest and most beloved amusement parks, open since 1843 and the inspiration for Walt Disney’s theme parks
- Christiansborg Palace — seat of the Danish Parliament and former royal residence
- Kongens Nytorv — Copenhagen’s grandest square
- The Little Mermaid — Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved bronze statue on the Langelinie Promenade, one of Denmark’s most iconic landmarks
According to Visit Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens alone welcomes over 4 million visitors each year — and it’s easy to see why.

- Day 3: Copenhagen — Free Day to Explore
One of the most rewarding days of any Denmark and Sweden tour — a completely free day in one of Europe’s most enjoyable cities.
Copenhagen is exceptionally easy to explore independently. Rent a bicycle and join the locals on dedicated cycle lanes that wind through the city’s prettiest neighbourhoods.
Consider visiting Rosenborg Castle in the King’s Garden — a stunning 17th-century royal palace housing the Danish Crown Jewels. Or wander the colourful Nyhavn waterfront, browse the Latin Quarter’s boutique shops, or discover the bohemian free town of Christiania.
Copenhagen consistently ranks as one of the world’s most liveable cities, and a free day here lets you understand exactly why.

- Day 4: Scenic Train from Copenhagen to Stockholm
After breakfast, board your train and depart Denmark for Sweden on one of Europe’s most scenic rail journeys.
The route crosses the spectacular Øresund Bridge — a 16-kilometre engineering marvel that spans the strait between Denmark and Sweden and links Copenhagen directly to Malmö. The views from the train are unforgettable.
The half-day journey takes you through rolling Swedish countryside before arriving in Stockholm, Sweden’s magnificent capital built across 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea.
A private transfer takes you from Stockholm Central Station to your hotel to rest and recharge. This scenic train crossing is one of the most memorable moments of any Copenhagen and Stockholm tour.

- Day 5: Stockholm — The Best of Your Copenhagen and Stockholm Tour
Your morning begins at Fjällgatan, a cliffside street that offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in all of Stockholm. Below you, the Old Town rooftops, spires, church towers, and waterways of the city spread out in every direction.
Next, descend into Gamla Stan — Stockholm’s medieval Old Town and one of the best-preserved historic districts in all of Europe. Wander narrow cobblestone lanes lined with 13th-century buildings, independent boutiques, and cosy cafés. Visit the Nobel Prize Museum to learn about Scandinavia’s greatest cultural legacy.
Finish at Stockholm City Hall — a masterpiece of Nordic architecture and the venue of the prestigious Nobel Prize Banquet held every 10th of December. The Golden Hall’s 18 million mosaic tiles are simply extraordinary.
The afternoon is free for your own exploration — the Vasa Museum, ABBA Museum, or a ferry to the Stockholm Archipelago are all wonderful options.
