Copenhagen – Oslo - Stockholm
General Information
Why DENMARK?
Denmark is the oldest Kingdom in the world, and thanks to the Gulf Stream waters we enjoy a moderate climate with no
extreme temperatures and a gradual transition from one season to the next. This means that even though the
temperature drops in the winter there is rarely snow and when it does fall it does not last for more than one or two
days.
Copenhagen's international airport is Scandinavia's busiest and continuously expanding: it is served by a large number of
major international airlines and is the hub for Scandinavian Airlines' international activities.
With the numerous islands that compose Denmark it has a longer coastline than California! In addition to Denmark itself
the kingdom also includes the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Let 5,000,000 Danes define Denmark’s national word
"hygge" or cosines and nowhere more so than in Copenhagen.
Why COPENHAGEN?
Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark for almost 600 years. The soldier-bishop, Absalon - the site chosen being
favorable both in terms of trade and defense, founded the city. Located at the entrance to the Baltic, it is the world's
gateway to Scandinavia and Scandinavia's door to Europe.
Copenhagen is one of the leading design capitals of Europe as well as the gastronomic centre of Scandinavia with no
less than 12 restaurants with Michelin stars and Voted as one of the trendiest capitals in Europe.
Why organize an event here? Lots of history - beautiful sights - friendly inhabitants - atmosphere and authenticity - the
super selection of tour possibilities - great social events - superb food - Tivoli Gardens - real Danish pastry - lots of fun to
be had - cool Danish beer - it is green and clean - a city on the human scale - a city where you feel comfortable and at
home - because it is, just as the song describes it, Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen!
Why SWEDEN?
From people watching at a pavement café in Stockholm to a dog sledge adventure in the Arctic, Sweden offers a wide
range of travel experiences. Sweden is the home of Abba, the Nobel Prize, Ikea and modern gastronomy chefs such as
Mathias Dahlgren.
The mix of contemporary innovation & design versus history, culture and traditions makes Sweden a pond of exciting
experiences. Welcome to a modern meeting destination
Why STOCKHOLM?
Stockholm City is not famous only for its beauty, but also for its buildings, parks and water. While visiting Stockholm in
the middle of summer is always the best option, but you may not ignore it in the winters, because it has its own
fascination and attraction. The word Stockholm is a combination of two words; stock (which means log or fortification)
and holm (which means islet). Basically, this naming is due to the strategic location of Stockholm at the mouth of Lake
Mälaren, making it a collection of islands situated on the lake.
The history of Stockholm goes back to the 13th century, when the iron trade began from the mines of Bergslagen (a
distinct mining district in the north of the Lake Mälaren) to the other parts of the region. Anyway, at that time the name
of Stockholm was mentioned for the first time in writing dates. The core of Stockholm is the current Old Town (Gamla
Stan) that is located on the central island next to Helgeandsholmen (a small island in central Stockholm). This part of the
city was built between 1300 and 1500 and is now officially called The Town between the Bridges. Gamla Stan is known
for its historical buildings and has become a tourist attraction since 1980s where you can see the medieval, Renaissance
architecture and also other later additions that have been valued by later generations. In fact, Stockholm is a
cosmopolitan city where you can see all kinds of nationalities with different backgrounds and various cultures.
Stockholm is a must-see destination whether you come from other cities of Sweden or even other countries in the world.
Just, don´t miss out an opportunity to visit this beautiful city either in summer or winter!

Hotel option:
Hotel Crown Plaza
Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers – Copenhagens brand new, international 4-star hotel.
The hotel has a fantastic story built in. It is the first hotel in the world where 90 % of the electrical consumption comes

easy to exploring North Zealand’s treasures.
Take the train to the beautiful town of Elsinore, where Hamlet played his part on the Castle of Hamlet; Kronborg. The
setting next to the sound between Denmark and Sweden is unique and offers so many ideas and dreams. A short photo
stop in Elsinore is essential with the small fishing villages along the coastal road to Elsinore.
The next castle is the Castle of Fredensborg. This is the spring and fall residence for Her Majesty the Queen and his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort. It is not possible to get access to the castle, but the setting and surroundings are
fantastic and must be seen.

Hadler DMC
Lunch (Not included) can be at a local restaurant in the nearby city of Hillerod, we recommend choosing a lunchplatter
of typical danish meat. After lunch, the perfect highlight will be an inside visit to Frederiksborg Castle.
You can walk around in the fantastic museum, and explore all the history. After the museum visit take the train back to
the city.
For today’s dinner we will recommend you to go to the historical Getruds Kaelder & Valdemars Winebar.
Restaurant Gertruds Kaelder & Valdemars Vinbar (Not included)
A great deal of exciting things have seen the light of day at this old Monastery turned restaurant, with 700 years of
history dating back to 1397, where it was a destination for business people and travelers. From this century the National
Museum and Sankt Gertruds have together carried out several excavations of the monastery. In 1972 a restoration of
the old buildings was begun, and in 1975 St. Gertruds Monastery opened as a restaurant. During the last phase of the
restoration several British cannonballs from bombardment in 1807 were found. When the restaurant opened, a couple of
these were dutifully handed over to the British marine attachι, who was polity asked not to use them again. The
restaurant has a unique atmosphere and is only lit up by candles, and even though the great food served here is
modern, a meal at Sank Gertruds Kloster will make your mind wonder about the old days. In the begining of 2013 the
restaurant changed its name from Sankt Getruds Kloster to Gertruds Kaelder & Valdemars Winebar. The Winebar will be
able to take outdoor services at a newly renovated square just in front of the restaurant.

Day 3 – Copenhagen
Today you will explore another side of Danish history by getting up close with Carlsberg Brewery. After breakfast you
can take public transportation to Carlsberg Brewery where you will learn about a very extraordinary man J.C Carlsberg,
the founding father of Carlsberg, and a beer culture that is dated way back in history.
The Brewery Carlsberg tour
Visit the old brewery Carlsberg where the newly renovated Visitors Center invites to a live exhibition of beer culture and
classic brewing skills. At the Visitors Center you will take a self-guided tour around the visitor center where you will have
time to experience how the beer is brewed, the old granary, the stable, the small garden with some sculptures and the
old brewer’s villa. The visit ends with beer tasting and lunch in Bar Jacobsen.
In the afternoon, you will have some free time to enjoy the many shopping opportunities in the pedestrian, shopping
street, Strøget, which also includes two department stores Illum and Magasin, before going to Tivoli Garden.
Tivoli Garden
A must when you are visiting Copenhagen. The park that have been around since 1843, is today one of the most
attractions in the world. More than 4 million guests every year visit Tivoli. The mixture of beautiful sights, wonderful
music, fine food and kids having a good time with the rides – that’s Tivoli. Here is a blend of all, and yet a fantastic
venue for parties, meetings and all where people are to be together celebrating or just having fun. Inside the park, there
are many options for a very good dinner restaurant. We recommend restaurant NIMB Terrasse.
Tivoli is seasonal open from mid-April to mid-September.

Hadler DMC
Restaurant NIMB Terrasse (Not included)
Nimb Terrasse, in the former Divan 2, located inside The Tivoli Gardens is a french-inspired bistro. The menu is bistrostyle and the décor follows the style at Nimb with its simple Scandinavian flair and detailed English and French style. The
name has its own history: when the Nimb Family first opened a restaurant in Tivoli in 1877 it was in Divan 2.The place
was often referred to as Nimb´s Porch or Nimb´s Terrasse.

Hadler DMC
Day 4 – Copenhagen/Stockholm
After breakfast you will take the public transportation to the Central Station in Copenhagen. Here you will board a train
bound to Stockholm.
It is a very cozy and relaxed train ride to Stockholm. Duration is approximately 5 ½ hours. It is surely not a tedious ride,
the route is very scenic and you will ride by forests and small lakes.
First you will cross the Øresund Bridge that combines Denmark and Sweden. The bridge opened in 2000 and is nearly
16km. Stops to highlight along the way could be Alvesta to Glasriket, the Kingdom of Crystal, and Norrköping to see
Kolmården Animal Park.
Alternative
A rental car will be ready at the hotel and you can decide for yourself travel speed and breaks during your trip to
Stockholm. It takes around 6 – 6 ½ hours in total.
We could recommend that you stop by Jönköping the old trading center, the city is known for its matchstick industry
1845-1970. Still today it is an important Swedish logistical center i.e. IKEA central warehouse is located here.
Gränna is a small town a little further up than Jönköping and is also worth a stop. This interesting little town placed in
outstanding nature will be a perfect stop in order to stretch legs and go for a small walk. Linköping, located further up
than Gränna, is known for its university and its high-technology industry. The city plans to become a carbon neutral
community by 2025. A sight worth seeing is the Linköping cathedral with history started back in 11th century.

Hadler DMC
Welcome to Stockholm
Upon arrival you will check in at the city hotel and have the chance to freshen up before dinner. For the dinner we will
urge you to go to Gute Lounge & Grill
Dinner at Gute Lounge & Grill (Not included)
The dream of a restaurant in Stockholm with focus on Gotland was long gone before these chefs decided to create Gute
Lounge & Grill. In the heart of the big city vibe the feeling of an outside restaurant in Visby has given the venue a
massive media attention and still after one year this restaurant keeps is personal, with a Gotland styled contemporary
menu and genuine local producers. The venue is suitable for very much Swedish inspired evening.
Hotel option:
Sheraton Stockholm
Located in the very heart of Stockholm; this great location allows you to explore and connect to this wonderful city. The
hotel offers 465 guest rooms with all you need to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. Stroll out of the doors and
enjoy the surrounding shopping area, picturesque Old Town and the City Hall, where the annual Nobel Prize ceremony is
held. The Sheraton Stockholm Hotel offers magnificent views. From the view rooms you can see the historical buildings
of the Old Town, the Southern island in the background, and last but not least - the City Hall.

Day 5 – Stockholm
After breakfast you should be filled up and ready to explore Stockholm.
The Old Town – A genuine walk thru the history of Stockholm
Start your day by wander through the Old Town alleys and squares and see the city as it was hundreds of years ago, the
city walls, streets, etc., and the people who lived there. You will experience an amazing journey from the time of
Stockholm's birth, the first settlement, which is why the town was laid out right there and what it looked like before. You
can walk through the streets to the island of Riddarholmen and familiarize ourselves with the people who lived there and
their fates, ranging from the murder of Axel von Fersen to King Frederick I's mistress and her destiny.
Afterwards you will see Stockholm from another perspective.
Roof top hiking
See Stockholm from the rooftops on a guided tour, well secured with safety equipment. It’s a unique combination of
climbing and sightseeing – for people not afraid of heights. A Rooftop tour is a unique experience in Sweden – and with
no equivalent in Europe! Take the chance to challenge yourself among the many varied roofs and steeples in Stockholm
and enjoy the beautiful skyline of Sweden´s capital. Or as one of our guests said: ” You´ve got to face Your fears and
live Your dreams”
After such a trilling experience it is time for some lunch, and we recommend that you choose Restaurant Ulla Winbladh.
11
Hadler DMC
Restaurant Ulla Winbladh (Not Included)
The house and restaurant Ulla Winbladh was built to the Stockholm Industry Exhibition 1897, originally as a bakery and
was then called Reinholds Ångbageri. Later to become a pastry with specialties such as waffles with whipped cream and
jam. When the bakery went on to become a restaurant in the mid 50's, they changed their name to the Inn at Ulla
Winbladh. The name comes from one of Bellman's mistresses who in reality was called Maria Kristina Källström. On the
menu you will find a variety of traditional Swedish dishes, made in the true Nils-Emil spirit, for example Swedish
meatballs, Bellman’s herring and Beef Rydberg. On the á la carte menu, you will find internationally influenced dishes, all
of which follow the Swedish seasons and traditions and the wine list offers a wide variety of quality wines.
After lunch next stop is an all-time favorite museum; the ABBA Museum.
ABBA Museum
The newest and maybe one of the most iconic histories of modern Swedish music is now presented in the Abba
Museum, which opens on the 7th May, 2013. ABBA The Museum becomes the place where ABBA moves in with collected
work in an interactive, energetic and musical exhibition, where visitors will meet the band up close. ABBA The Museum is
housed in the new Swedish Music Hall of Fame and the ticket is valid for the entire house. In addition to the two
permanent exhibitions'' The Swedish popular music history'' and'' Hall of Fame'' .The house on Djurgårdsvägen 68 in
Stockholm has an over 5000 square meters large exhibition.
After the museum visit there will be time to relax and freshen up for tonight’s dinner. We recommend that you dine at
Brasseri Le Rouge.
Brasseri Le Rouge (Not included)
12
Hadler DMC
Le Rouge opened on 30 October 2007 in two adjacent buildings that previously housed Pontus in the Green House and
Källaren Diana, in Gamla Stan (The old Town) Le Rouge is divided between the dining room, the bar, the lounge and the
chambre separée. The dining room is in what was formerly Källaren Diana, while the private dining room, the lounge and
the big bar are in the Green House.
Gastronomically, Le Rouge’s guiding principles are personality, tradition and warmth.
Particular passion for French cuisine and its comforting flavours, but the simplicity of Italian cooking will also feature
prominently on the menu. Hallmarks of Le Rouge’s cuisine will be our great Swedish produce, classic flavours and
personal interpretations.
Day 6 – Stockholm
Get ready to get up close and personal with Stockholm and its surroundings. After breakfast a guide will pick you up and
take you on a boat trip in the Stockholm archipelago. The Stockholm archipelago is a cluster of some 30,000 islands,
skerries and rocks spreading 80 km east from the city into the Baltic Sea. Some are large inhabited islands famed for
swinging summer parties and others are little more than rocky outposts or grassy knolls visited by the odd seal or
kayaker.
You arrive in Vaxholm harbor after the guided trip.
Lunch will be at Hotel Vaxholm followed by a guided tour at The Vaxholm Fortress. It describes Swedish coastal defense
during 500 years, with special attention given to the defense of the Stockholm archipelago. The construction of this huge
fortification on the island of Vaxholm (“Guardian Island”) started in 1544 on direct order from King Gustav Vasa to serve
as an important outpost in the archipelago. The fortress was attacked twice, by the Danish in 1612 and by the Russians
in 1719, and has also served as a prison. The new fortress museum was opened in 2003 and the exhibitions include
environments, models, vaults, soldiers life, prison and more.
13
Hadler DMC
After the tour around Vaxholm Fortress a luxury sedan will transport you to Drottningholm and Skeppsholmen.
You will travel to the The Royal Palace of Drottningholm and while the guide will tell stories of the Royal families of
Sweden from the old times and up to the modern days of 2013. The Drottningholm Palace is on UNESCO's World
Heritage list. It is the most well-preserved royal castle built in the 1600s in Sweden and at the same time is
representative of all European architecture for the period.
A number of royal personages have since then left their mark on the palace. The Palace has been the present Royal
Family's permanent residence. The rooms in the southern wing of the palace are reserved for this purpose. The rest of
the palace and grounds are open to the public year round. You will be given an hour at the Royal Palace to enjoy the
Royal garden. After this you will travel back into Stockholm.
We recommend that your last supper on this brilliant tour from Copenhagen to Sweden will be at Restaurant Himlen.
Restaurant Himlen (Not included)
Himlen is located on top of the skyscraper Skrapan in the southern district of Stockholm called Södermalm.
The intimate fine dining restaurant on the 25th floor offers carefully prepared dishes specializing within the French and
the Swedish cuisine, all together with exceptional wines and professional service. If you prefer a more laid back style,
the lounge and cocktail bar on the 26th floor offers you superbly mixed cocktails and Stockholm’s best view.
Day 7 – Stockholm; Departure Day
Before leaving for the airport breakfast is offered at the hotel one last time. Depending on departure flight there will be
some time to go shopping in Stockholm before you hop on the Arlanda Express that takes you straight to the airport.
