Fyn - the land of a hundred manors

The countryside of Fyn is a treasure trove of well-maintained relics of the past. Nowhere else in Denmark offers the same density of manor houses as Fyn, Langeland and Ærø. In all there are 123 manors and castles, and their extensive fields, woods, avenues and stone walls are a defining feature of the landscape.

Visit Egeskov Castle - the best-preserved Renaissance moat castle in Europe dating back to 1554. Enjoy the castle itself and the beautiful gardens with the largest collection of Fuchias in Europe, the Renaissance Garden and the Willow Maze designed by the polymath Piet Hein. Or visit the exciting Oldtimer car museum which comprises about 50 beautifully preserved and restored cars from the late 19th century until the early 1980´s.

Bornholm

Situated in the Baltic Sea to the east of Copenhagen and only 3 hours away from the centre of Copenhagen by train and boat, 35 minutes by plane and overnight by ferry from Copenhagen, is the very spectacular and historic island of Bornholm, which in many respects differs from the rest of Denmark.

The unique scenery presents a multitude of possibilities for a memorable pre- or post-congress tour - not to mention the numerous opportunities of purchasing unique art crafts.

Whether you wish for an action-filled day/weekend or peace and tranquillity Bornholm has it all: Rift valleys, granite quarries, beautiful coastal paths with perfect angling opportunities, 3 golf courses, long sandy beaches, and smokehouses offering many fish specialities for example smoked heering.

The Kingdom of Crystal

To add a sparkle to your visit in Copenhagen, try something different. Visit the fascinating and diverse "Kingdom of Crystal" in the province of Småland, Sweden. The region between Växjö ond Kalmar includes the famed Orrefors and Kosta Boda Glassworks. The Kingdom of Crystal consists 16 different glassworks. At each of these glassworks you will discover the authentic works settings, glasshouse adventures and factory stores.

The suggested tour is for a full day tour (9 hours) but can also be arranged as a two-days tour with accommodation in Kalmar and the famous "Hyttsill-dinner" in the evening.

The fjords of Norway or the treasures of the Baltic

Copenhagen is the most popular cruise port in Northern Europe with a variety of weeklong Baltic and Scandinavian cruises that start or end here. The cruise season in Copenhagen lasts from the beginning of May till the end of September.

Take a tour to the Norwegian fjords where you can experience the overwhelming wilderness and the spectacular fjord region. Discover lake districts, lush valleys, magnificent mountains, and glaciers and grand fjords.

Or cruise to the Baltic countries to see unique art treasures, historic monuments and magnificent countryside palaces and parks. The gem of them all is St. Petersburg in Russia.

Please check cruise itineraries with the cruise lines or your travel agent. Most of the destinations can also be reached from Copenhagen by air within an hour or two.
