Discover enchanting facets of Denmark on a delightful, nine–night immersion in this stunning island nation. Experience the cozy feeling of well–being that Danes call “hygge” while exploring in its cosmopolitan cities and small towns, from Copenhagen’s colorful Nyhavn waterfront to Ærøskøbing’s intimate, 18th–century lanes. Visit majestic Kronborg Castle, famed setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; Egeskov Castle, a Renaissance gem; and stately Roskilde Cathedral. The Danish Viking Age comes alive as you study Jelling’s 10th–century, royal runic stones and the Viking Ship Museum’s seafaring vessels.
In Odense, learn about Denmark’s most famous author at the Hans Christian Andersen House museum. Other engaging cultural excursions include the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, the AroS Art Museum and Den Gamle By, an open–air museum. You’ll also bask in Denmark’s pastoral splendor. Appreciate tranquil Ærø Island’s charming towns and coastal vistas, and take in Denmark’s beautiful Lake District aboard a paddle steamer. This first–class, small–group journey features four nights in Copenhagen, two nights in Ærøskøbing and three nights in Aarhus; expert guides and lecturers; a Travel Director; and wine with dinner.
