Day 1

copenhagen, denmark

Departure: 16:00

A decade ago, tourists flocked to Copenhagen solely for its canals, cobblestone squares, quaint streets, and pastel-colored homes. Today, the city is renowned for its innovative design, avant-garde architecture, and top-tier restaurants. This historic canal city has evolved into a trendy, cosmopolitan, and thrilling destination, all while preserving its old-world charm. The enchanting port of Nyhavn, the city's iconic waterfront, is Copenhagen's most traditional sight, where visitors can appreciate the cobblestone streets and vibrant houses that contrast with Langelinje quay, home to the city's most famous attraction, The Little Mermaid. As you stroll along the Langelinje quay, the contemporary opera house emerges on the horizon, transporting tourists back to the 21st century. Another of the city's modern waterfront landmarks is the Black Diamond entertainment complex, providing another reason to venture beyond the small tourist-centric center. The building itself is breathtaking and offers a unique opportunity to relax in a deckchair overlooking the water. Two of the city's hippest areas, Veesterbro and Norrebro, are tucked away from the throngs of tourists. These lively neighborhoods allow the most adventurous travelers to mingle with locals and experience the buzzing atmosphere of places like the Norrebro Food Hall, an indoor food market, or the Ralea, the restaurant where local chefs go to eat after work. Copenhagen's hippest district of trendy bars, design stores, and eateries, where visitors can experience the city's culinary revolution, is just a metro ride from the city center. The less frequented island neighborhood of Christianshavn offers a peaceful glimpse of residential life and canal-side strolls. It's also home to the "free town" of Christiana, a vibrant alternative community established by hippies in the 1970s, brimming with galleries and cafés, and governed by its own, strict set of rules. Copenhagen is clean, safe, and easy to navigate. It's also one of Europe's greenest cities, and its public transportation system would make New York envious. Its center is reserved for pedestrians and strict anti-pollution laws are enforced. It's an environmentally idyllic location with ample green space and bicycles often outnumber cars, so be cautious when stepping into bike lanes. Freely wander to the world-famous Tivoli amusement park and the city's delightful botanical garden, or join the locals at the sidewalk cafés and restaurants in the summer. Regardless of what you choose to do in the Danish capital, whether you're into design and dining, or simply exploring, Copenhagen will continually beckon you back like a siren.

paris (le havre), france

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 21:30

Le Havre is a port city located at the mouth of the Seine River, on the English Channel in the Upper Normandy region of France. The name "Le Havre" translates to "the harbor" in English. Historically, Le Havre has always served as the harbor for Paris, with goods being transferred there between ocean-going vessels and barges that travel to Paris via the Seine River. Le Havre was heavily bombed during the Battle of Normandy. The town's reconstruction was led by August Perret, who used reinforced concrete. This project resulted in the city being added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The most significant places to visit in Le Havre include St. Joseph's Church, the Cathedrale Notre Dame, the Maison de l'Armateur, and the Town Hall, which is situated on one of the largest squares in France. Visitors can climb the tower for a panoramic view of the city's layout.

Day 10

london (tower bridge),uk

Arrival: 05:00

Among all European capitals, London holds the most profound place in the hearts of travelers. We become familiar with London even before we realize its existence, and when we finally visit the city, it never fails to meet our expectations. The iconic red double-decker buses, the police officers and stoic guards at Buckingham Palace, the historic Westminster Abbey, and the familiar chimes of Big Ben, all of which we've heard of before, greet us with a sense of satisfaction. However, London is full of surprises. It's not just a quaint city. It's not merely a museum, even though you could spend all your time hopping from one to another. It's a bustling, sprawling metropolis, filled with traffic jams, stores, and an incredibly diverse international population. Explore the numerous monuments that span nearly a thousand years of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the Mayflower's captain drank, to Piccadilly Circus, one of London's most photographed locations. But don't overlook modern London, with its vibrant theatre scene, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and aristocrats, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," and this statement still holds true. There's something new to experience every day in London.
