DAY 2 - Copenhagen - Helsing?r - Roskilde Let's embark along the road less travelled! Our first stop of the day awaits us at Kronborg Slott in Helsing?r, a beautiful stronghold also known as Hamlet's Castle - the inspiration behind the opulent setting of Elsinor in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Here, we'll explore the castle's rich past among its vast, luxuriant rooms. Onwards to the charming city of Roskilde where we've got an appointment to keep with The Viking Ship Museum. Hosting five Skuldelev Ships, feed your curiosity during an afternoon that rewinds the clock 1,000 years. Later, we'll clink glasses over an included dinner and share our savoured moments of the adventure so far. Accommodation: Skjoldenaesholm Slot (or similar)

DAY 3 - Roskilde - Odense - Ribe After breakfast, we'll traverse to Odense, birthplace of literary genius Hans Christian Anderson.
