Description
Discovering the "Norden", the lands of the North. Here is a new tour offering, in just 8 days, a broad overview of lands with a very special charm. We will visit the beautiful capitals of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, but also boundless landscapes where modernity seems to have come to a halt. We will not lose sight of the natural beauty either, thanks to ferry crossings, boat trips on the lakes and a voyage along a fjord. We will visit castles and a world-famous amusement park. This tour of Scandinavia will be one of the best ways to capture the "spirit of the North", the spirit of the ancient Vikings.
