Three one-of-a-kind capitals.

Three remarkable countries. Your tour of Scandinavia begins in Oslo, home of Viking kings and canyon-cut fjords. Next it’s Copenhagen, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale city. Here you’ll climb the 17th-century Round Tower, Europe’s oldest functioning observatory. In Stockholm, see the Royal Palace and the city’s oldest church, dating from 1306.
