The northern part has hosted sailing regattas for over a century, and every June thousands of sailing enthusiasts arrive from all over the world to take part in “Kiel Week”.

Day 2

copenhagen, denmark

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 18:00

A decade ago, visitors came to Copenhagen just for its canals, cobbled squares, charming streets and pastel painted houses. Now this city is most known for its innovative design, cutting edge architecture and its top-rated restaurants. This historic city of canals has become trendy, cosmopolitan and exciting, without losing its old charms. The fairytale-like port of Nyhavn, the city’s legendary waterfront, is the most traditional sight of Copenhagen, where visitors enjoy the cobbled streets and colourful houses that contrasts with Langelinje quay, where the city’s most famous attraction, The Little Mermaid, is located. Walking along the Langelinje quay, the modern opera house appears on the horizon bringing tourists back into the 21st century. Another of the city’s new waterfront landmarks is the Black Diamond entertainment complex, an additional reason to travel beyond the tiny tourist-focused centre. The building itself is stunning and provides a unique opportunity to lounge in a deckchair overlooking the water. Two of the coolest areas of the city are Veesterbro and Norrebro, away from the herds of tourists. These vibrant neighbourhoods will allow the most adventurous travellers to mix with the locals and experience the buzzing atmosphere of places like the Norrebro Food Hall, a covered foodie market, or the Ralea, the restaurant where local chefs go to get food after work. Copenhagen’s coolest borough of trendy bars, design stores and eateries, where visitors can experience the culinary revolution the city has to offer, it's just a metro ride from the city centre. The less-travelled island neighbourhood of Christianshavn offers a tranquil glimpse of residential life and canal-side strolls. It’s also home to the “free town” of Christiana, a colourful alternative community built by hippies in the 1970s, which shines with galleries and cafés, and has its own, strict set of rules. Copenhagen is clean, safe and easy to get to know. It is also one of Europe’s greenest cities and its public transport would make New York green with envy. Its centre is reserved for pedestrians and strict anti-pollution laws enforced. It’s an environmentally idyllic spot with plenty of green space and bicycles often outnumber cars, so be careful of stepping out into bike lanes. Wander carefree to the world-famous Tivoli amusement park and the city’s delightful botanical garden, or take to the pavement cafés and restaurants in the summer alongside the locals. Whatever you decide to do in the Danish capital, whether you dig design and dine, or wander in wonder, Copenhagen will keep calling you back like a siren.

Most of them take the ferry to the nearby village of Geiranger; in high season, the ferry runs roughly every one and a half hours. There is also a cruise ship pier that can handle very large ships. The village is surrounded by mountains and valleys. Sunnylven Church is located in Hellesylt, which used to be the administrative centre of the former municipality of Sunnylven. Hellesylt lives under the constant threat of the Åkerneset mountain, which is gradually collapsing towards the Sunnylvsfjord. A major landslide could trigger a tsunami that would destroy most of central Hellesylt.

Day 7

arhus, denmark

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 20:00

Aarhus is the cultural and student centre of Jutland and the second largest city of Denmark. It is also called Denmark's youngest city because every fifth of its inhabitants is a student at one of the city’s 25 educational and research institutions. The city has a huge waterfront and therefore has a big and beautiful harbour. Aarhus offers an elegant mix of cosmopolitan city and quaint small town charm, with wonderful pubs, restaurants and romantic places. The delightful Gamble By, the old town, is a unique cultural history museum with more than 60 original buildings from the 16th through the 19th centuries arranged into a believable village. Want to behold eternity? Don’t miss the expression on the face of Grauballemanden, who was sacrificed and cast into a tarpit two millennia ago; his current residence is the Moesgard Museum. When you are finished with the museum, head to the Prehistoric Trackway, an open-air museum of re-created prehistoric settings that lead through the Moesgard behind the museum all the way down to the excellent sand beach. Aarhus Domkirke dominates the city’s skyline. Its tower measuring 96 meters is the tallest in Denmark. Århus Teater is the town's architectural pride and joy. Designed in art nouveau style, it opened in 1900 and has been the venue for many critically acclaimed productions. Aarhus is loaded with student bars and cafes. Music, art and cafes flourish here.
