On your travels, you’ll stroll Copenhagen’s colourful centrepiece of Nyhavn Harbour, pass by the former home of legendary fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen, enjoy a lunch of traditional Swedish meatballs and soak up Christmas cheer at the second-oldest amusement park in the world.

From one Nordic capital to another, catch the scenic rail to Stockholm, where the four-star boutique Hotel Rival awaits, owned by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and featuring original Swedish cinema stills above each bed. As you move deeper into your journey, you’ll recognise each country’s unique take on Christmas classics, including plenty of chances to savour glögg (mulled wine). You’ll also enjoy a stay at Tallinn’s Nunne Boutique Hotel, where rooms feature 13th-century medieval walls running directly through them.
