Fly into Copenhagen Airport (CPH) on the island of Amager, about 8 km from the city centre, where a driver meets you in arrivals for the short ride to your hotel.

Evening

Plan to land by about 3 pm so you are settled before the evening; the exact meeting time comes with your final itinerary. If you arrive in the morning, the centre is flat and compact enough to explore on foot straight away: Strøget, the long pedestrian street, runs from City Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the trains, the boats and how the days are paced. Then we walk out to the Lakes, the chain of old reservoirs on the west side of the centre, where vintage neon advertising signs reflect in the water after dark, and sit down together to a welcome dinner of Danish food in Nørrebro.

Included

  • Pick-up at Copenhagen Airport (CPH)
  • Welcome briefing with your guide
  • Evening walk along the Lakes
  • Welcome dinner in Nørrebro

Wildlife and weather: Summer days are long: in June and July it stays light until about 10 to 11 pm in Oslo, Bergen and Stockholm. Expect 15 to 22 C in the cities and cooler, changeable weather in the mountains and on the fjords. Bergen is known for rain in every season, so the Bergen day has a covered plan.

Before you book

Right for you?

Good for you if you want

  • First-time visitors who want the three capitals and a real taste of the Norwegian fjords in under two weeks
  • Travellers who prefer trains and boats to long coach days
  • Anyone who wants two or three nights in every base and a free afternoon in each
  • Solo travellers who want a small group and a guide who stays for the whole trip

Not for you if you want

  • Travellers who want long hikes or glacier walks every day
  • A deep Norway trip: this route gives the fjords three days, not a week
  • Step-free access: Bergen and Stockholm mean cobbles, slopes and stairs
  • Those looking for the northern lights or the midnight sun, which this southern route does not reach

Questions

What does the price include?

Eleven nights in central hotels, breakfast daily, eight lunches and three dinners, airport transfers at both ends, every train, boat and the flight from Bergen to Stockholm, luggage carried by road on the long rail days, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, tips for the guide and driver, and every visit in the day plan, including the Flåm Railway, the Nærøyfjord boat, Stegastein and the Vasa Museum.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, never more. That keeps the group to one table at lunch, lets everyone hear the guide in Bryggen's narrow passages and gets us all onto the early fjord boat and the funicular quickly.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with you for the whole trip, from the welcome dinner in Copenhagen to the farewell dinner in Stockholm. Where a site only allows its own guides, such as Stockholm City Hall, a local guide joins us. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. Most days are 3 to 5 hours of city walking on cobbles and slopes, with stairs in Bergen and Stockholm. The rail day to Oslo is long but seated. The steep walk down from Mount Fløyen and the Brekkefossen hike in Flåm are optional, with an easier choice on both days.

I'm travelling solo. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want a room of your own, which is from CAD 1,530 more and shown before you book, with no surprise later. If you would rather share, tell us when you request to book and we will say whether a same-gender roommate match is possible on your date.

Do I have to carry my luggage on the trains?

No. On the two long rail days, Copenhagen to Oslo and Oslo to Flåm, our vehicle carries the suitcases by road and they are waiting at the next hotel, so you ride the trains with a day bag. From Flåm to Bergen the bags travel with us, and the flight to Stockholm includes one checked bag.

Why fly from Bergen to Stockholm instead of taking the train?

There is no direct train, and by rail or road the journey takes most of two days back across Norway and Sweden. The direct flight takes about an hour and a half, so you trade a travel day for a third night in Stockholm and a day in the archipelago.

How much time do we get in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm?

Copenhagen and Oslo each get one full day, a guided morning or day plus a free afternoon and evening, along with an arrival evening; that is a taste, not a deep stay. Stockholm gets three nights. If you want longer in a capital, arrive early or stay on and we will quote extra nights at the trip hotel.

When is the best time to go?

May to September. Days are long, with light until about 10 or 11 pm in June and July, the fjord boats and Flåm Railway run at full frequency, and Tivoli and the Bygdøy ferry are open. June and August are the busiest months in Flåm and Bergen, which is why we take the early slots there.

Do I need a visa for Denmark, Norway and Sweden?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for a short stay; all three countries are in the Schengen area. Your fingerprints and photo are taken at your first Schengen border under the EU Entry/Exit System, and ETIAS authorisation is due to start; we tell you before you fly if it applies.

How does booking work?

Pick your start date and request to book; no payment is taken at that point. We check the hotels, trains, the flight and your guide for that date and confirm within 24 hours. The small group starts from CAD 8,510 per person sharing, taxes included, and the private trip from CAD 15,320 per person.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same route, hotels and transport.
