Copenhagen
The Danish capital, starting with Nyhavn and working outward. The Little Mermaid, Tivoli, and some of the best restaurant dining in Europe.
Midsummer in Scandinavia is unlike anything else. The sun barely sets, the whole region comes outside to celebrate, and the Nordic capitals show themselves at their most alive. We travel through Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and then south through the Baltic capitals — Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius — three medieval cities that feel like they were preserved in amber. Seventeen days is the right amount of time to actually understand these places.
