Scandi Smorgasbord from Copenhagen to Stockholm - 6 Nights

Copenhagen's canals and Tivoli, then a fast train across Sweden to Stockholm's island old town.

Discover two of Scandinavia’s most captivating capitals on this six-night escape combining stylish Copenhagen with elegant Stockholm. Spend three nights in Denmark’s colourful capital, where waterfront cafés, historic palaces and the picturesque Nyhavn harbour create a vibrant atmosphere. During the summer months, long daylight hours fill the city with energy as locals gather in parks, outdoor restaurants and along the harbourfront.

In winter, Copenhagen transforms into a cosy wonderland, with festive lights, seasonal treats and charming Christmas markets adding warmth to the crisp Nordic air. Your journey continues by rail to Stockholm, offering a relaxing way to experience the changing Scandinavian landscapes. While Copenhagen is compact, laid-back and centred around cycling culture, Stockholm impresses with its grand waterfront setting spread across a collection of islands.

Here, elegant architecture, royal landmarks and the cobbled streets of Gamla Stan showcase a distinctly Swedish character, creating a fascinating contrast with its Danish neighbour. What makes this holiday so appealing is the opportunity to experience two unique Nordic capitals in one seamless trip. From summer’s bright evenings and bustling café culture to winter’s atmospheric streets and festive traditions, every season offers a different perspective on Scandinavia.

With centrally located four-star hotels, daily breakfast, rail travel and return UK flights included, this is an excellent way to compare two remarkable cities while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a perfectly balanced city-break adventure.
