Blue Lagoon experience with transfers – 4 Hours
<span><span>In the southwest corner of Iceland is the Reykjanes peninsula, less than 1-hour drive from the capital or 20-minute drive from Keflavik International Airport.</span></span><br />
<span><span>There the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes ashore. The nature is magnificent. Various volcanic formations are found on Reykjanes Peninsula, such as mountains and hills chiefly made of volcanic tuff, large and small lava flows plus different types of volcanoes and volcanic edifices.</span></span> <span><span>The Reykjanes peninsula volcanic zone is a direct continuance of the North Atlantic Ridge that surfaces from the ocean at Reykjanes, and it is home to many important geological formations, some of which are utterly unique, including numerous types of volcanoes, naturally carved pools, craters, and geothermal pools. </span></span><br />
<span><span>Few things are cozier than relaxing in a hot pool in the middle of nature. Iceland has an abundance of easily accessible natural pools, but it is perhaps <strong>the Blue Lagoon</strong> the most spectacular of them all. </span></span><br />
<span><span>The Blue Lagoon was founded in 1992. Its specialty is the geothermal sea, which is two thirds of salt water and one third of fresh water. It is found at a depth of up to 2000 meters and is led by a pipe from the source to the lagoon where guests can enjoy it and relax. It is rich in minerals, silica, and algae, which is the basis of all skin products in the Blue Lagoon.</span></span><br />
<span><span>National Geographic has chosen the Blue Lagoon as one of the 25 wonders of the world. The Blue Lagoon has developed into an experience company based on spas, research and development, skin care, hotels, and restaurants</span></span><br />

You just need a clear sky, a place away from the light pollution. Although at times of high solar activity they can be widely visible even from the capital, our driver guide is an expert to find those best locations according to the forecast and chase the best sightings of the Green Lady. </span></span></a><br />

<br />

This gleaming steel sculpture is located on Reykjavik’s splendid waterfront and resembles a Viking long-ship, the ‘Solfar’ or ‘Sun Voyager.’ You will also see the modern building Harpa, a cultural and social centre in the heart of the city, and the Old Harbour.</span></span></span></span><br />

Ålesund Walking Tour – 3 Hours
<img alt="" src="https://www.visitalesund.com/imageresizer/?image=%2Fdmsimgs%2FView_from_Mount_Aksla_lesund_Norway_Cred_Staale_Watt__1789553257.jpg&action=ProductDetailFullWidth" /><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>Ålesund differs from most other Norwegian cities with its large concentration of buildings in the Jugend style of architecture. The explanation for this is simple; the town burned to the ground during the Great Fire of 1904. Rebuilding the city took a full three years, aided by numerous local contributions and large donations from the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. </span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span>The city planners agreed on consistently using the contemporary style of architecture, Jugend style (also known as Art Nouveau). It is a style characterized by artistic playfulness, fetching inspiration from organic forms and shapes in nature. </span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span>This combination of fjords, mountains and a town centre built in so-called art nouveau-style are some of the factors that resulted in Ålesund pinching first place in a survey by the Norwegian daily newspaper Dagbladet. Larger cities like Bergen (second place) and Trondheim (fourth place) – perhaps more famous for their beauty – were not considered to be as scenic as Ålesund when the Norwegians themselves cast their votes.</span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span><span>Walking tour through the winding old city streets, you will learn about the town's historic past. </span></span></span></span><span><span><span>The tour takes in the Art Nouveau houses in the town itself, taking a stroll in the magnificent central district that displays beautiful houses with numerous and elaborate towers, spears and ornaments.</span></span></span><br />

Art Tour with visit of Vigeland Sculpture Park and Opera House in Oslo with Rickshaw transfers – 4 hours
This art tour starts on three wells, a more sustainable way of discovering the city!<br />
Your rickshaw driver will take you to Frogner Park, the famous sculpture park of Oslo. This enormous open space was laid out in the first half of the 20th century by Norwegian sculptor Gustav <strong>Vigeland</strong>. Over a period of 30 years, he created his own world of human beings and animals from stone, iron and bronze. There are about 200 statue groups in all, which describe the course of human life from birth to death. The monolith, a 56-foot-high granite block carved with 121 figures stands as the unequivocal centerpiece of this well-planned park.<br />
<br />
Along the ride your driver will tell you more about the Norwegian capital and one of the greatest artists in the country: <strong>Edvard Munch</strong>. The famous painter grew up in Oslo and started out as an artist in this city. Together with your driver you will follow his footsteps and pass by some of the places that have a significance in his life: his first studio, right in front of the Parliament Building, the Grand Café, a popular hangout for artists in the late 1800s, and Blomqvist art gallery, where he held several exhibitions. We continue towards Pilestredet 30, where Munch spent seven years of his childhood, and then to the campus of the University of Oslo where we will stop to learn about the Aula decorations.<br />
<br />
The last stop of the tour is at the <strong>Opera House</strong>, where you will say goodbye to the rickshaw driver and meet the Opera´s guide, who will show you around this emblematic building in a private tour lasting around 50 minutes.<br />

Art Tour with visit of Vigeland Sculpture Park and Opera House in Oslo with Rickshaw transfers – 4 hours
This art tour starts on three wells, a more sustainable way of discovering the city!<br />
Your rickshaw driver will take you to Frogner Park, the famous sculpture park of Oslo. This enormous open space was laid out in the first half of the 20th century by Norwegian sculptor Gustav <strong>Vigeland</strong>. Over a period of 30 years, he created his own world of human beings and animals from stone, iron and bronze. There are about 200 statue groups in all, which describe the course of human life from birth to death. The monolith, a 56-foot-high granite block carved with 121 figures stands as the unequivocal centerpiece of this well-planned park.<br />
<br />
Along the ride your driver will tell you more about the Norwegian capital and one of the greatest artists in the country: <strong>Edvard Munch</strong>. The famous painter grew up in Oslo and started out as an artist in this city. Together with your driver you will follow his footsteps and pass by some of the places that have a significance in his life: his first studio, right in front of the Parliament Building, the Grand Café, a popular hangout for artists in the late 1800s, and Blomqvist art gallery, where he held several exhibitions. We continue towards Pilestredet 30, where Munch spent seven years of his childhood, and then to the campus of the University of Oslo where we will stop to learn about the Aula decorations.<br />
<br />
The last stop of the tour is at the <strong>Opera House</strong>, where you will say goodbye to the rickshaw driver and meet the Opera´s guide, who will show you around this emblematic building in a private tour lasting around 50 minutes.<br />
During the visit you are shown the theatre's unique rooms and stages, visit the backstage area, the Main Stage and talk about what happens behind the scenes before the curtain rises. You will also learn about the architecture, stage technology, opera and ballet.<br />
Basis: Private tour.<br />

North Zealand Tour – 7 Hours

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. Your guided tour begins at the Neptune Fountain and visits the rooms of the King's Wing, the Church, and the impressive Knight's Hall, which boasts an intricate carved wooden ceiling.</span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span>Take photos of the Royal Family's summer residence Fredensborg Palace during a brief stop on route.</span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span>Heading further north through the picturesque countryside of Northern Zealand, you will find the town of Elsinore. Situated in Elsinore, the magnificent structure <strong>Kronborg Castle</strong> was chosen by William Shakespeare as the setting for his play, Hamlet</span>. It is a suitably dramatic Renaissance castle, built in 1420 and expanded in the 1500s, situated on the narrow sound between Denmark and Sweden. Kronborg Castle is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>Continue back towards Copenhagen along the coastal road. Otherwise known as the Danish Rivera, the coastal road provides a lovely view of the sea between Denmark and Sweden, as well taking you through the </span></span></span><span><span><span>fashionable and exclusive residential areas </span></span></span><span><span><span>on the outskirts of Copenhagen.</span></span></span><br />

Malmö and Lund – 7 Hours
<strong><span><span><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Stortorget_in_Malm%C3%B6%2C_Sweden.jpg/1599px-Stortorget_in_Malm%C3%B6%2C_Sweden.jpg" /><br />
Malmö</span></span></strong><span><span> is Sweden’s third-largest city. Here, Scandinavia's tallest building twists its way skyward, gazing down over the vast Öresund bridge – both modern engineering marvels that reflect multicultural Malmö's</span></span><span><span> progressive outlook.</span></span><br />
<span><span>Focusing on the area around <strong><span>Stortorget</span></strong></span> (the town square) and lively <strong><span>Lilla Torget</span></strong></span> (the little square) Malmö's Old Town is a gorgeous warren of cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses.<br />
<span><span>Located about 2.5km northwest of the Old Town, buzzing, bayside Västra Hamnen represents the modern face of Malmö. It's a popular spot to stroll, sip coffee and browse boutiques, but mostly people come to marvel at the Öresund bridge and the Turning Torso</span></span><br />
<span><span><span>After Malmö we continue to <strong>Lund</strong>, f</span></span></span><span><span>ounded by the Danes around 1000 AD and once the seat of the largest archbishopric in Europe, Lund is the second-oldest city in Sweden. It's also one of its loveliest, surrounded by beech trees and glowing with an impressive architectural legacy. Its magnificent, medieval old town is centered on its strikingly beautiful cathedral. Radiating around it is the country's oldest, most prestigious university (c 1666). Perhaps ironically, the university keeps Lund young, its vibrant, engaged youth driving a lively arts and culinary scene. </span></span><br />

Copenhagen Walking tour in the pursuit of Hygge – 4 Hours
<p><img alt="" src="/extranet/images/extranet-tour-image-5319.png" /><br />
<br />
<span>Hygge is as Danish as pork roast and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. 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>

Copenhagen Jewish tour – 4 Hours
<p><img alt="" src="/extranet/images/extranet-tour-image-5320.png" /><br />
<span>Although never large in numbers, the Jews in Denmark have nevertheless had a substantial and important influence on Danish culture and history. The sights on your tour includes The Round Tower with its golden Hebrew inscriptions; the statue of the world famous Danish Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Niels Bohr; and the Trinitatis church where the Torah scrolls from the Copenhagen Synagogue were hidden during the Second World War and were thus saved from destruction.</span></p>

<p><span>You will be informed of the present day Jewish community, its size and the various components that went into its making. The story of the five dark years under Nazi occupation, the deeds of the Danes and their king, Christian X will not be forgotten.<br />
<br />
The Danish Jewish Museum, designed by world famous architect Daniel Libeskind, opened in 2004 and is a must-see for anyone interested in the Jews of Denmark. 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. Copenhagen’s main synagogue, finished in 1833 is located in Krystalgade (Crystal Street) in the old part of Copenhagen and will be viewed from its exterior during the tour.</span></p>

Christianshavn & Dragør tour – 4 Hours
<p><img alt="" src="/extranet/images/extranet-tour-image-5321.png" /><br />
<br />
<span>Narrow cobbled streets, Michelin-starred restaurants and cozy cafes along the canal. 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. In the Marble Hall, see the incredible, colorful tapestries displaying Danish and world history over the past 1,000 year.</span></p>

Historical Spa and visit to the Cistern of Copenhagen – 4 hours
<span><span><span><span>This tour will take you on a journey of relaxation in a candlelit historical building. <strong>AIRE Spa</strong> is inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations. Here you will go at your own pace through different baths at different temperatures.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span><span>You continue the excursion at the <strong>Cisternerne</strong>, an old water reservoir built in 1856-1859. The cisterns are located on Frederiksberg Hill, 31 meters above sea level, the highest point of the very flat Danish capital. The natural pressure, when the water was let out, allowed the water to travel all the way up into the new Copenhagen town houses contributing considerably to the improvement of the water supplied to locals.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span><span>In 1933 the cisterns stopped functioning as a water reservoir and for many decades these subterranean chambers were forgotten until 2013 when the building became a part of The Frederiksberg Museums. Today, the old subterranean water reservoir of Soendermarken is home of events and art exhibitions that awaken all senses. The huge dripstone cave is sparsely lit, the climate is moist and cool, and a magical art experience is guaranteed.</span></span></span></span><br />
