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.

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.

Be part of this tour and experience Copenhagen on three wheels as your driver guide will lead you around the city and to its sights in style.<br />  <br /> The Danish cycle-culture is as old as the bicycle itself. 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. The present <strong>Vasa Museum</strong> is built around the 17th century warship which sank in Stockholm's inner harbor on her maiden voyage in 1628. Its discovery in 1956 and subsequent salvage in 1961 is one of the most important events in marine archaeology. Painstakingly restored to much of its original magnificence, ‘Vasa’ represents an authentic piece of living history.</span></span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span><span>Stockholm's Old Town (Gamla Stan) is located on a small island in the very heart of the city.

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. Here stands the building which was Stockholm's first synagogue, founded in 1790. </span></p> <p><span>Continue towards the Conservative Synagogue, otherwise known as the <b>Great Synagogue</b>.

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.

The present <strong>Vasa Museum</strong> is built around the 17th century warship which sank in Stockholm's inner harbor on her maiden voyage in 1628. Its discovery in 1956 and subsequent salvage in 1961 is one of the most important events in marine archaeology.

Exhibited at the museum are the Augsburg Art Cabinet, discoveries from the Viking period, the history of the University of Uppsala, mummies and much more.</span></span><br /> <span><span><span>Sigtuna is a town north of Stockholm that </span></span></span><span><span>sits beside Lake Mälaren, in the lush landscape of Uppland. 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. Here stands the building which was Stockholm's first synagogue, founded in 1790. </span></p> <p><span>Continue towards the Conservative Synagogue, otherwise known as the <b>Great Synagogue</b>. Inaugurated in 1870, it still has an active congregation with more than one thousand members.

The key place is the hall where the delegates of the strike committee and the representatives of Polish authorities signed first the post Second War history of Poland agreement between the representatives of the people of Poland and the communist authorities.<br /> <br /> Everything is original here, just to mention: the table, chairs, boards with demands, historic ballpoint that Lech Walesa signed the agreement with etc. In one of the halls , the visitors can watch  moving documentary film, too.<br /> <br /> *****************************************************************<br /> You will be picked up at your port by our guide and driver.</span></div> Gdansk & Malbork Castle - Full Day Tour <div><span><span><strong>Gdansk & Malbork Castle</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.

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.
