Tour Itinerary

Arrival to the Copenhagen airport, according to the flight schedule.

The capital of the kingdom of Denmark, the city of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, romantic streets and gorgeous restaurants welcomes you. After hotel check-in, you will have an opportunity to either stroll the city’s neighborhoods or have a rest in your room after the flight. The group meets the tour leader during the welcome dinner in the evening.

Breakfast in the hotel and checkout. Embark on a Copenhagen tour with a local guide: you will see the historical city center, the Christianborgs Palace (Danish parliament), the fairy Little Mermaid, palaces, canals and streets; you will listen to the stories about how the inhabitants of the Danish capital live.

After the city tour comes to its end, you will continue discovering the Kingdom of Denmark. The ancient town Roskilde, founded back in the times of the Vikings, will perfectly narrate about the Danish kings and culture. The town is situated just within a half-a-hour drive from Copenhagen and is famous to many by its gothic cathedral, included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
We will stop for a lunch in Roskilde and, after that, come over to Aarhus – the second most populated city in Denmark, where we will stay overnight.

Today you will have free time to explore Aarhus until lunch. The city was established at the end of the 8th century by the Vikings. Today, this is a major business and cultural center, Denmark’s second- largest city.
City-museum Den Gamle By (The Old City), which represents a small town full of old-time edifices, is regarded as one of the most extraordinary places. Those buildings were brought to Aarhus from all corners of Denmark. On the streets of that town, you will have a chance to see local inhabitants, dressed in vintage clothes – they are the museum’s workers, who welcome the guests every day.
We also recommend you to visit the Viking Ships Museum.
After lunch we will head to the port Hirtshals where we board a ferry and set out to Norway.
Fjord Line is a Norwegian ferry operator offering service between Norway, Denmark and Sweden.  The ferry ships feature restaurants, cafés, as well as duty-free shops, which every passenger may use at will.

After having breakfast in the hotel, a scenic drive brings you to the one of  the most picturesque    areas of  Norway – Hardangerfjord. Marvelous views open up just around every road’s corner, and  one would surely want to both remember them and capture a photo of. You will make a stop near an unusual waterfall, beneath which you can walk.
And your road will lie along the apple farms – this region is best known for thanks to them. If there will be enough time, you will stop at one of the farms to eat and purchase some of their edible products (like juices and jam), which are made right in that place. Dinner in the hotel

Bill Wright 30 September 2014
Hey Alex, Your help with this tour of Scandinavia was top notch. From beginning to end, you were on our side and helping us any way you could. We've never worked with a travel agent via the web, so I was skeptical, but you proved me wrong. Thanks for that. As for the trip, that was equally as incredible! Just reading the day to day activities online got our gears going and we were so excited about it. The timing was perfect for us, and every place we visited was somewhere we had never been before. I can't say enough great things about Erik, our wonderful guide. The hotels were all in great locations and we appreciated the buffet breakfasts each morning. The Royal Palace, Parliament Buildings, and Royal Theatre in Stockholm interested me, as well as Catherine’s Palace and the Amber room in St. Petersburg. The scenery in Norway was so gorgeous... Everything was just so well planned. So again, thank you! I'd highly recommend Nordic Saga Tours to anyone who wants to visit Scandinavia and beyond.

Hi Susie,
Rob and I are back from our Scandinavian tour and wanted to thank you for a nice trip. You really helped us plan the perfect vacation together and it was truly worth every penny! We loved the Royal Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, the beautiful Hardanger Fjord near Ulvik, and the gorgeous Bryggen Harbour in Bergen. Such incredible sights everywhere you look in these countries. I couldn’t get over how tall and breathtaking the fjords were up close! Ending the tour in Stockholm was bittersweet. We didn’t want to leave! All the hotels were amazing and the food was always hot and fulfilling. Thanks again for your hard work, we really enjoyed this tour of Scandinavia with your company.
