Denmark is the stepping stone between central Europe and Scandinavia proper, not simply geographically, but culturally, too. Comprising the Jutland Peninsula, which borders Germany, and numerous islands, of which Zealand and Funen are the largest, it is a country where the sea is omnipresent, and fish and seafood feature widely on menus.
Along the coast, brightly painted wooden beach huts contrast with the white-sand beaches. The pristine villages are no less colourful, their mustard, red or white walls topped with thick thatch, sheltering, one could easily believe, many a character from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales.
Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki are three of northern Europe’s most exciting cities. Featuring well-located hotels and an overnight Baltic Sea cruise, this journey by rail and boat takes in all three. Experience summer or winter in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki.
To travel here, then, is to experience life at its contented best, and this holiday takes you by train and boat between four of the finest cities that northern Europe has to offer. Each city evolves throughout the winter: travel in December and you will be rewarded with atmospheric markets and twinkling Christmas lights.
To travel here, then, is to experience life at its contented best, and our ‘Exploring in Style’ version of this holiday does just what it suggests: with first-class train travel, a deluxe overnight ferry cabin, and stays at specially chosen, high-quality hotels.
The allure of Denmark is in its fairy-tale landscapes – think royal palaces and castles, idyllic villages and sumptuous beaches – and in the stylish yet cosy hotels. Make use of the extensive network of cycling trails to explore on two wheels, or delve into the culture and charm of vibrant Copenhagen – an enchanting city to visit in both summer and winter.
