Connected to the far eastern side of Zealand island, a few kilometres away from the Swedish coasts, Copenhagen offers you the high colour of Scandinavian capitals.

Day 2 - Wednesday - Apr 16, 2025
Karlskrona, Sweden
Discover Karlskrona on the southern coast of Sweden, between land and sea, spread over the small islands of the Blekinge archipelago. Its strategic position on the Baltic Sea made it the headquarters of the Swedish Royal Navy and its naval dockyard on the orders of King Karl XI of Sweden, in 1680. Constructed from nothing, the citadel has kept its architecture, whose coherence and conservation have today earned its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Karlskrona's authentic colorful wooden houses facing the sea - which is never too far away - and its rich naval history give it an exquisite and unique charm. Do not miss this visit.

At the place where East meets West on the edge of the Baltic Sea, Riga, the capital of Latvia, will charm you with its contrasts. Although it is one of the oldest cities in the Baltic states, with a unique atmosphere that is imbued with the memory of its medieval past, Riga is also tangibly dynamic and modern. As you stroll through its old town, you will enjoy its exceptional architecture, its cathedrals, the remains of old walls, and the typical narrow streets.

The episcopal castle, a medieval fortress and preserved witness of the rich history of the Baltic States, stands proudly in the island's capital, Kuressaare. The island's soils and mild climate give it abundant and diverse nature, where forests, cliffs, dunes and beaches flourish, becoming a haven for thousands of migratory birds every year. The island offers many treasures, between wild nature, nature reserves, meteor craters, and windmills.

Tallinn, Estonia
Opening onto the Baltic Sea to the far north of Estonia, the town of Tallinn will win you over with the picturesque charm of its architecture. You can meander through its little streets in the heart of the medieval centre where its Gothic town hall has been standing since 1404. The Kiek in de Kok tower, the Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, or Toompea Castle give visitors a taste of this town's rich past. The city was particularly active during the medieval period as is demonstrated by the very beautiful monuments from this period that are still visible.

The capital of Sweden occupies an archipelago in the east of the country at the junction of Lake Malar and the Baltic Sea. In Gamla stan, meaning "old town" in Swedish, you can stroll at your leisure in picturesque medieval streets until you reach the majestic Royal Palace. On the green island of Djurgarden, you can visit several very different kinds of cultural centres: the Vasa Museum is dedicated to a 17th-century three-mast, the ecomuseum of Skansen presents traditional customs, and the ABBA Museum is dedicated to the legendary pop group. For a fantastic all-encompassing view of Stockholm, you can take a ride in SkyView, a glass-encased sphere gondola that takes you to the top of the world's largest hemispherical building, the Ericsson Globe, a Stockholm landmark.
