This elegant Dutch Renaissance structure straddles three small islands and has all the trappings of a fairytale castle, but it was gainfully employed as royal residence and setting for important ceremonial events from the 1600s to the 1850s. It now serves as the National Museum of History and is best known for its outstanding collection of portraits, the largest of its kind in Denmark.

Radiating around it is the country's oldest, most prestigious university (c 1666).

In essence hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life in the company of good people. The warm glow of candlelight is also hygge. Friends and family – well that’s hygge too. </span></p> <p><span>In the summertime, hygge is spending time in the sun, over a beer at the pier, a picnic in one of the city parks or just hanging out with good friends in one of Copenhagen’s many picturesque and historical back yards.</span></p> <p><span>This 4-hour walking tour will highlight what hygge is all about. The tour starts by exploring the area around the Latin quarters an around the pedestrian street Strøget. </span></p> <p><span>The Latin Quarter is one of the most entertaining areas of Denmark's capital city, with a young-spirited undertone around the vicinity of Copenhagen University. The Latin Quarter is well known for its hang-out spots, alternative shopping and 17th-century architecture. </span></p> <p><span>Part of Danish hygge is having coffee with friends, so we will pick up a cup of coffee to go and a cinnamon roll at Sankt Peders Bakery, Copenhagen oldest bakery which was founded in 1652. </span></p> <p><span>We continue our tour by visiting the church of our Lady. The Copenhagen Cathedral in its present shape is an unpretentious building in Neo-Classicist style designed by the architect C.F. Hansen</span><span><b>.</b></span><span> It is situated close to the University of Copenhagen. An inside visit to the Round Tower in included. It was built as part of the Trinity Complex, named after the Holy Trinity and designed to accommodate three things: the observatory at the top of the tower, the library on the floor above the Trinity Church and of course the church itself. From its vantage point you will be able to peak into some of Copenhagen’s old, historical and cozy court yards before we head over to the Kings Garden, a popular green spot in the city center.</span></p> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Basis</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>Private tour</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Duration</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>4 hours</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Start / End</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span><span>City center Hotel or address</span></span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Vehicle</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>None</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Guide</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span><span>English-speaking.

Just across the bridge Knippels Bro is <b>Christianshavn</b>, officially part of Copenhagen city centre. Christianshavn is a much-desired area for Copenhageners to live. And it is easy to see why. It is central, full of bars and restaurants and has a unique maritime atmosphere. </span></p> <p><span><b>Dragør</b> was founded in the 12th century, and it grew quickly as a fishing port. During the medieval period it was an international marketplace for Hanseatic merchants who came each year to buy herring. In the early sixteenth century, King Christian II invited a group of farmers from the Netherlands - at the time, a more agriculturally advanced nation than Denmark - to settle here to produce food for the royal household. You still find many Dutch names on the doors in Dragør. The town center is very idyllic with its characteristic yellow painted houses, thatched straw roofs and cobblestone streets, plus a charming harbor that is still an active fishing port.</span></p> <p><span><b>Christiansborg Palace</b> is<b> </b>located on the tiny island of Slotsholmen</span><span> and houses Denmark's Parliament. It is the Prime Minister's residence and where the Queen of Denmark receives visiting royalty and heads of state in its royal reception rooms.

Copenhageners have used bicycles to transport themselves to and from work since the 1880s. Back then, commuting by bike was the fastest, easiest and most environmentally friendly way to move around the city – and it still is. Copenhagen got its first bike lane in 1910 but most parts of the current network of bike lanes have been established within the last 25 years. Today 50% of the Copenhageners choose to commute by bike every day. Most of them do it all year round – rain, hail, snow or sunshine.<br /> During the tour you will see some of the famous landmarks of Copenhagen which include The City Hall, Christiansborg Castle, The Old Stock Exchange, Christianshavn, Our Saviours Church, The Opera,  The Kings Square, Nyhavn, Amalienborg Castle, Kastellet, The little Mermaid,  to name a few.

It</span></span></span> <span><span><span>is the best-preserved royal castle built in Sweden during the 1600’s and it is representative of all European architecture that was to follow.<br /> <br /> The castle was built by architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and was clearly inspired by French architecture and since its construction many royals have left their mark on the palace. Hedvig Eleonora, Lovisa Ulrika and Gustav III left powerful examples of their style, especially in the decor of the reception rooms. Hedvig Eleonora’s state bedchamber was at the heart of their reception rooms in the 1600’s and was created by the country's foremost artists and craftsmen.<br /> There is also a series of rooms that were decorated for Gustav III during the 1700’s which includes the Chinese saloon, a very chic trend at that time. </span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span>In 1991 Drottningholm Castle was included on UNESCO's World Heritage list of sites of outstanding universal value to humanity. The Royal family moved into the Drottningholm Palace in 1981 and still today the castle remains the primary residence of the King and Queen. The rooms in the castle's southern section are reserved for the royal couple. </span></span></span><br />   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Basis:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">Private tour.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Duration:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">4 hours.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Start / End:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">City center Hotel, address or Pier (excluding Nynäshamn Pier).</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Vehicle:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">01<sup>st</sup> Class.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Guide:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">English-speaking.

Your tour will introduce you to the most characteristic locations and the most architecturally significant buildings, the first of which is the imposing <strong>City Hall</strong>, the city's political centre and the location for the annual celebrations that follow the presentation of the Nobel Prizes.</span></span><br /> <span><span>Having admired its imposing exterior that is surrounded by water and topped with three golden crowns, the symbol of the kingdom of Sweden, you will visit the sumptuous Golden Hall whose walls are entirely covered with precious golden mosaics composed of over 19 million tiles. </span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>Continuing on your itinerary takes you towards the green island of Djurgården with its numerous historic buildings, monuments, museums, galleries, an exciting theme park and a magnificent open-air museum.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span><span>While on the island, visit the museum of the Swedish warship ‘Vasa’, once considered one of the world’s largest and the pride of Sweden's mighty navy.

It is situated on 14 islands and is surrounded by water so clean that you can swim and fish right in the heart of the city.  </span></p> <p><span>Sweden’s Jewish community holds a very unique place in the continental European Diaspora. During the mid-20th century, Sweden was one of the only European countries to actually witness a growth in their Jewish population. During the Second World War there was no systematic persecution by the neutral Swedish government, and, in fact, the country gave asylum to thousands of Jewish refugees from Denmark and Norway. The community has continued to exist relatively undisturbed over the generations. </span></p> <p><span>Today, the Swedish Jewish community is the largest in Scandinavia and is primarily composed of descendants of pre-war refugees and Shoah survivors who arrived after the war. Most Swedish Jews live in the capital Stockholm. It is a unified community and all three synagogues in the city belong to the same organization. </span></p> <p><span>Today’s first stop is at the impressive panoramic viewpoint Fjallgatan. Here you have the opportunity to take some photographs while your guide points out the main sights of the city before your scenic drive towards Gamla Stan (Old Town). </span></p> <p><span>Here you will get an insight into the long lasting German influence and the many attacks of the Danes during the Middle Ages. Due to the Swedish neutrality nothing has been destroyed here in the last 400 years. You will experience the narrow cobblestone streets of the Old Town, passing the Royal Palace and on to Tyska Brunnsplan square, named after the German community that once occupied this area.

It</span></span></span> <span><span><span>is the best-preserved royal castle built in Sweden during the 1600’s and it is representative of all European architecture that was to follow.<br /> <br /> The castle was built by architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and was clearly inspired by French architecture and since its construction many royals have left their mark on the palace. Hedvig Eleonora, Lovisa Ulrika and Gustav III left powerful examples of their style, especially in the decor of the reception rooms. Hedvig Eleonora’s state bedchamber was at the heart of their reception rooms in the 1600’s and was created by the country's foremost artists and craftsmen.<br /> There is also a series of rooms that were decorated for Gustav III during the 1700’s which includes the Chinese saloon, a very chic trend at that time. </span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span>In 1991 Drottningholm Castle was included on UNESCO's World Heritage list of sites of outstanding universal value to humanity. The Royal family moved into the Drottningholm Palace in 1981 and still today the castle remains the primary residence of the King and Queen. The rooms in the castle's southern section are reserved for the royal couple. </span></span></span><br />   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Basis:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">Private tour.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Duration:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">4 hours.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Start / End:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">City center Hotel, address or Pier (excluding Nynäshamn Pier).</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Vehicle:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">01<sup>st</sup> Class.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Guide:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">English-speaking.

In the 17th and 18th centuries the university became a centre of research, mainly in the field of natural history. Many are the geniuses that have spread Uppsala's reputation worldwide and to date six Uppsala scientists have received the Nobel prize.</span></span></span><span><span> The <strong>Gustavianum museum</strong> is housed in Uppsala University's oldest preserved building.

The area prospered during the Viking Age, leaving a heritage of rune stones, graves and monuments, which to this day still stand in and around the town. Sigtuna is said to be home to the most rune stones in the world. They were erected during the Viking era to commemorate deceased men. </span></span><br /> <span><span>Sigtuna is Swedens first town and was founded in AD 980, as Christianity arrived, uniting Sweden as a single kingdom. With a royal mint and a bishop, Sigtuna was effectively the capital of Sweden until power shifted towards Stockholm and Uppsala in the 13th century. Three historic church ruins, St. Olof, St. Lars and St. Per, from the 12th and 13th century can be found in the medieval centre of Sigtuna. Here, you will also find the brick Church of Maria, which was built in 1247 as a Dominican monastery. </span></span><br /> <span><span>After three fires in the 17th century, Sigtuna was a ghost town for 250 years but was later revived in the 1910s as a nationalist project. The 18th century Town Hall can be found on Sweden's oldest street, Stora Gatan (over a thousand years old). It is allegedly the smallest town hall in Scandinavia and is nowadays used as a museum. At Stora Gatan, you will also find clusters of interesting little shops selling fashion, design and local handicrafts. </span></span><br />   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Basis:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">Private tour.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Duration:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">6 hours.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Start / End:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">City center Hotel, address or Pier (excluding Nynäshamn Pier).</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Vehicle:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">01<sup>st</sup> Class.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span lang="EN-US">Guide:</span></td> <td><span lang="EN-US">English-speaking.

It is situated on 14 islands and is surrounded by water so clean that you can swim and fish right in the heart of the city.  </span></p> <p><span>Sweden’s Jewish community holds a very unique place in the continental European Diaspora. During the mid-20th century, Sweden was one of the only European countries to actually witness a growth in their Jewish population. During the Second World War there was no systematic persecution by the neutral Swedish government, and, in fact, the country gave asylum to thousands of Jewish refugees from Denmark and Norway. The community has continued to exist relatively undisturbed over the generations. </span></p> <p><span>Today, the Swedish Jewish community is the largest in Scandinavia and is primarily composed of descendants of pre-war refugees and Shoah survivors who arrived after the war. Most Swedish Jews live in the capital Stockholm. It is a unified community and all three synagogues in the city belong to the same organization. </span></p> <p><span>Today’s first stop is at the impressive panoramic viewpoint Fjallgatan. Here you have the opportunity to take some photographs while your guide points out the main sights of the city before your scenic drive towards Gamla Stan (Old Town). </span></p> <p><span>Here you will get an insight into the long lasting German influence and the many attacks of the Danes during the Middle Ages. Due to the Swedish neutrality nothing has been destroyed here in the last 400 years. You will experience the narrow cobblestone streets of the Old Town, passing the Royal Palace and on to Tyska Brunnsplan square, named after the German community that once occupied this area.

Tallinn St. Petersburg Local Highlights Option - 8 Hours <p>Guests will enjoy a pre-arranged sightseeing itinerary with a Private Car and Guide to explore the following destination highlights.</p> <p>Today's sightseeing with your expert guide takes you out of the city to Peterhof and the great summer estate of Peter the Great, nestled on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. After his victory over the Swedes at Poltava in 1709, Peter decided to build a palace "befitting of the very highest of monarchs" and a visit to Versailles in 1717 furthered these ambitions. Over 5,000 labourers, serfs and soldiers were employed in the creation of this magnificent estate that was officially opened in 1723. The park features numerous palaces, summer houses and pavilions; a prominent highlight is the Grand Cascade, a delightful sequence of 37 gilded bronze sculptures, 64 fountains and 142 water jets descending from the terraces of the Great Palace to the Marine Canal and the sea. </p> <p>To avoid the crowds, the Grand Palace is opened for you before official opening hours. Afterwards, you are whisked back to St Petersburg by hydrofoil (subject to availability). After lunch at leisure, continue to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ (more familiarly known as the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood), a superb example of Russian architecture and decorative art from the end of the 19th Century. </p> <p>The church was built on the spot where Alexander II was fatally wounded in 1881, hence the more commonly used name! Marvel at its stunning interior and exterior, both richly adorned with stunning mosaics, precious stones, enamel and coloured tiles - true to the style of the age of the Muscovite Tsars of the seventeenth century.

Helsinki City tour – 3 Hours <img alt="" src="/extranet/images/extranet-tour-image-4763.png" /><br /> <br /> <span><span>Helsinki was founded in 1550 by the Swedish King Gustav Vasa. As a result of the war of 1808-1809, Sweden was forced to cede Finland to Russia. In 1812 Tsar Alexander declared Helsinki the capital of autonomous Finland. In 1917 the city was to become the capital of the independent Republic of Finland. In safeguarding its historical heritage, Helsinki has again and again been forced to reassess the past. Cultural influences from both East and West have molded the life of the city, which has nevertheless preserved an outlook on life that is inherently Finnish. Over the years the city has spread, and its population multiplied, yet nature is still close at hand - the sea and islands are dominant features of the landscape.</span></span><br /> <span><span>Among the most striking features of the Helsinki architecture are the largish areas built in a uniform style. The city thus has whole blocks and even districts representing Neoclassical, Art Nouveau, National Romantic, functional or modern architecture. The oldest area in Helsinki that has been preserved intact is the Senate Square. Reminiscent of St. Petersburg in its neoclassical style. </span></span><br /> <span><span>In the 1970s Helsinki acquired some important new public buildings - e.g. the Finlandia Hall, the City Theatre, the new National Opera, the official residence of the Finnish President and the Temppeliaukio Church - which are now important landmarks on the Helsinki street scene. </span></span><br /> <span><span>A city tour includes all essential sights in the city center including the Sibelius Park with the Sibelius Monument, an unusual steel monument from 1967, commemorating the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Pay a visit to <strong>Temppeliaukio Church</strong> (The Church in the Rock), completed in 1969 and carved out of a solid rock and topped with a copper dome.  Only the dome is visible from the outside. The pantheon-like interior is enhanced by the rugged granite walls and the copper-plated cupola. The excellent acoustics make this a favorite venue for concerts. </span></span><span><span><span>Please note that inside visits to the Rock Church cannot be guaranteed due to religious services and holidays.</span></span></span><br />   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Basis:</td> <td><span lang="EN-US">Private tour.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Duration:</td> <td><span><span><span>City center Hotel or address.</span></span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Start/End:</td> <td><span><span><span>3 hours.</span></span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vehicle:</td> <td><span lang="EN-US">01<sup>st</sup> Class.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Guide:</td> <td><span lang="EN-US">English-speaking.

The tour introduces, for example, the Great Courtyard and the dry dock, which once was one of the largest in the world.</span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span>The tour includes a return ferry service to / from Suomenlina Maritime Fortress, a guided tour with an official Suomenlina guide and an entrance to </span></span></span><strong><span><span>Suomenlinna Museum</span></span></strong><span><span><span>.

It is a major harbour, first German, then Hanseatic, Polish, Prussian, Free City and finally Polish. Desired by many, the city was often fought over. Indeed, it was the nearby Westerplatte that the first shots of history’s greatest war were fired in 1939. Later in the late 1970s the city’s Lenin Shipyard saw the birth of the Solidarity Trade Union, which made Lech Walesa a household name and began the process of transformation across the entire region. Gdansk has not forgotten its history. The lovingly restored buildings of the Old Town and waterfront provide picturesque and interesting surroundings, in which one may take a stroll, dine or shop for the city’s famous amber jewelry. In turn, the impressive Monument to Murdered Shipyard Workers gives the visitor a pause for thought about all that has happened since the 1970s.But further surprises await, for Gdansk is just the largest component of the Tri-City of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot. North-south development along the coast left beautiful and unspoiled woods and forests on hills just inland, and allows the visitor to travel smoothly from place to place by road or by local railway. Required stops for all include Gdynia, the lively naval, fishing and commercial port with its historical ships, beaches and the Oceanographic Museum; Sopot, an elegant beach resort of villas and hotels famous for its musical and cultural festivals; and Gdansk-Oliwa, a suburb boasting beautiful parks and a cathedral, whose world-famous organ Poland-largest entertains and entrances all who hear it. Lively, attractive, cultured, historical: the Gdansk area is as varied and eternally fascinating as the sea, which brought its fame and fortune.<br /> <br /> ***********************<br /> You will be picked up at the port by your guide and driver.</span></span></div> Gdansk & Stutthof - Full Day Tour <div><span><span><strong>Gdansk & Stutthof</strong></span></span></div> <div><span><span><strong>Full Day Tour</strong></span></span></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><br /> <span><span>We start the tour from the Upland Gate - a fragment of the city's fortifications and one of its main gates.

Within the 5 years of camp existance 110.000 mens, women and children were kept and almost 65.000 prisoners died as result of murdering in gas chambers, beating, hanging, torturing and making medical tests by Nazi mad scientists.

Perhaps ironically, the university keeps Lund young, its vibrant, engaged youth driving a lively arts and culinary scene. </span></span><br />   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Basis:</td> <td>Private Tour.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Duration:</td> <td>7 hours.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Start/End:</td> <td><span lang="EN-US">City center Hotel or address.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vehicle:</td> <td><span><span><span>1<sup>st</sup> Class.</span></span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Guide:</td> <td><span lang="EN-US">English-speaking.

In essence hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life in the company of good people. The warm glow of candlelight is also hygge. Friends and family – well that’s hygge too. </span></p> <p><span>In the summertime, hygge is spending time in the sun, over a beer at the pier, a picnic in one of the city parks or just hanging out with good friends in one of Copenhagen’s many picturesque and historical back yards.</span></p> <p><span>This 4-hour walking tour will highlight what hygge is all about. The tour starts by exploring the area around the Latin quarters an around the pedestrian street Strøget. </span></p> <p><span>The Latin Quarter is one of the most entertaining areas of Denmark's capital city, with a young-spirited undertone around the vicinity of Copenhagen University. The Latin Quarter is well known for its hang-out spots, alternative shopping and 17th-century architecture. </span></p> <p><span>Part of Danish hygge is having coffee with friends, so we will pick up a cup of coffee to go and a cinnamon roll at Sankt Peders Bakery, Copenhagen oldest bakery which was founded in 1652. </span></p> <p><span>We continue our tour by visiting the church of our Lady. The Copenhagen Cathedral in its present shape is an unpretentious building in Neo-Classicist style designed by the architect C.F. Hansen</span><span><b>.</b></span><span> It is situated close to the University of Copenhagen. An inside visit to the Round Tower in included. It was built as part of the Trinity Complex, named after the Holy Trinity and designed to accommodate three things: the observatory at the top of the tower, the library on the floor above the Trinity Church and of course the church itself. From its vantage point you will be able to peak into some of Copenhagen’s old, historical and cozy court yards before we head over to the Kings Garden, a popular green spot in the city center.</span></p> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Basis</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>Private tour</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Duration</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>4 hours</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Start / End</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span><span>City center Hotel or address</span></span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Vehicle</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span>None</span></span></span></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><span><span><span>Guide</span></span></span></em></td> <td><em><span><span><span><span>English-speaking.

Located in the center of Copenhagen, the museum is a great starting point for exploring Jewish history in Denmark. The museum presents 400 years of Danish Jewish history, including the rescue and deportation of the Danish Jews in 1943.

It is central, full of bars and restaurants and has a unique maritime atmosphere. </span></p> <p><span><b>Dragør</b> was founded in the 12th century, and it grew quickly as a fishing port. During the medieval period it was an international marketplace for Hanseatic merchants who came each year to buy herring. In the early sixteenth century, King Christian II invited a group of farmers from the Netherlands - at the time, a more agriculturally advanced nation than Denmark - to settle here to produce food for the royal household. You still find many Dutch names on the doors in Dragør. The town center is very idyllic with its characteristic yellow painted houses, thatched straw roofs and cobblestone streets, plus a charming harbor that is still an active fishing port.</span></p> <p><span><b>Christiansborg Palace</b> is<b> </b>located on the tiny island of Slotsholmen</span><span> and houses Denmark's Parliament.

Silver Dawn is both classic yet modern, she is the natural evolution of the fleet. Large enough to offer eight dining options – including the superb Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) programme – yet small enough for the famed Silversea on board ambience, Silver Dawn inherits the best features of her sister ships Silver Muse and Silver Moon, but is in a class all of her own. Sumptuous suites, outstanding itineraries plus cutting-edge design and technology, Silver Dawn sets new standards of luxury. Let’s wake up to a new dawn with Silversea.
