• Riviera road up North.

As we leave Copenhagen and head North, for almost a whole hour, the coastline of Sweden follows us. We drive through the magnificent Danish countryside and coastline all the way up to Elsinore and Kronborg Castle.

On the way to Elsinore and Kronborg Castle we stop at Louisiana, The Museum of Modern Art, which is situated in a spacious old park with a fine view across the south of Sweden. The Museum houses an exquisite collection of modern art by international artists such as Arp, Francis Bacon, Calder, Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Sam Francis, Giacometti, Kiefer, Henry Moore, Picasso, Rauschenberg and Warhol. Every year, the Louisiana Museum shows six to eight major exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, including classical masters of modern art as well as new and upcoming international artists. Here we will have a guided tour and time on your own to enjoy a nice lunch.

After lunch we will continue up North to Elsinore. It is quite easy to understand why William Shakespeare chose Elsinore Castle as the setting for his famous play Hamlet. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings and feel the atmosphere taken through the Chapel and the Knights Hall (the longest room in Northern Europe) and the dark casemates. The visit will include a guided tour of the casemates.

Hereafter we head back to Copenhagen.
