  • Days 1-2

    Copenhagen, Denmark

    Start your journey in Denmark's vibrant capital. Arrive mid-morning to make the most of your first day at the colorful Nyhavn waterfront and Amalienborg Palace. "The orientation walk really helped us get our bearings before exploring on our own." Visit Tivoli Gardens early on day 2 before the crowds arrive at 11 AM. You can take an optional afternoon trip to the fishing village of Dragør.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Danish Countryside to Norway

    Travel through Funen island to Odense where Hans Christian Andersen was born. Stay overnight in Randers before taking the morning ferry to Kristiansand, Norway.

  • Days 5-6

    Bergen

    Follow the scenic coastal route to Bergen. Visit the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf early for the best morning photos. A helpful tip from a fellow traveler: "Rent a small speedboat in the harbor - at $50 it's much better value than organized fjord cruises and gives you more flexibility."

  • Days 7-8

    Norwegian Fjords

    Take the famous Flåm Railway which climbs 2,800 feet through stunning mountain landscapes. Pack a jacket since viewpoints get cold even in summer. Your next stop is Geirangerfjord where you'll stay right on the water. Spend a full day kayaking or hiking to spots like Flydalsjuvet viewpoint for classic fjord views.

  • Days 9-10

    Rural Norway

    Stop at the 12th-century Lom Stave Church on your way to Lillehammer. Previous visitors note: "The switchback mountain roads are intense but our drivers handle them expertly." Spend your evening walking down Storgata, the main street where this Olympic town comes to life.

  • Day 11

    Oslo

    Give yourself a full day to explore Norway's capital. Start at Vigeland Sculpture Park when it opens at 7 AM to beat the crowds. A past visitor suggests: "The harbor area gets very busy by mid-day. Do your waterfront exploring before lunch."

  • Days 12-14

    Stockholm

    Enter Sweden for your final three nights in Stockholm. The Old Town (Gamla Stan) looks beautiful in evening light. One traveler recommends: "Skip the expensive organized Ice Bar visit - you can do it independently for half the price. Instead, spend time exploring the archipelago by ferry."
