Day 1 : Copenhagen/DENMARK

The European culture capital in 1996, Copenhagen is Scandinavia's liveliest city. The musical and artistic pageantry are rivaled only by the changing of the guard ceremony in front of the Amalienborg Palace, home of the royal family since 1794. Yet certain parts of Copenhagen maintain a village-like feel, like the winding streets around the Raadhuspladsen and enchanting Tivoli Gardens.

Day 2 : Oslo/NORWAY

Norway's political and cultural capital, Oslo was recently selected as the city with the highest quality of life in Europe.

Or visit the mighty Gullfoss or "Golden Waterfall," the most dramatic cascade in Europe.
