A 12-day tailor-made journey through Scandinavia, from Oslo and the Norwegian fjords to Stockholm and Copenhagen. Private guides, the Flåmsbana railway and the Hotel d’Angleterre.
Oslo to Copenhagen, by way of the Norwegian fjords, Bergen and Stockholm. This journey covers four of the most distinct destinations in Scandinavia in twelve days, moving from Norway’s fjord country into two of the most interesting cities in northern Europe before finishing in Copenhagen, a city that has set the terms for how the rest of the world thinks about Nordic food, design and architecture.
It begins in Oslo, two nights at The Thief on the Tjuvholmen waterfront, with time in Vigeland Sculpture Park and the new National Museum before the Bergen Railway carries you west to the fjords. The Flåmsbana descent and a private cruise through the Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord fill the journey between Norway’s two cities.
Bergen follows, one night in the city that built its fortune on the Hanseatic fish trade. Stockholm is next, three nights at Ett Hem, a townhouse hotel in the Lärkstaden district that runs closer to a private house than a conventional hotel.
Copenhagen finishes the trip, with a night at Kokkedal Castle north of the city and two final nights at the Hotel d’Angleterre in the centre, anchored by a walking tour of the Nørrebro district and a private Nordic Noir tour of the locations that shaped the television series The Bridge.
Do Not Disturb builds this journey around your pace, with private guides at each stage, the right properties throughout and transfers that connect everything without friction.
Arrive into Oslo and transfer privately to The Thief on Tjuvholmen, a small island in the harbor that was historically associated with the city’s criminal quarter and is now home to the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art. The hotel sits at the water’s edge with views across the Oslofjord.
Your private guide covers the city over the first day. Vigeland Sculpture Park in Frogner covers 80 acres and holds more than 200 works in granite, bronze and cast iron, all created by Gustav Vigeland as a single commission between 1924 and 1943.
It is one of the largest sculpture installations produced by a single artist anywhere in the world and is open at all times without an admission charge. The new National Museum on Aker Brygge, which opened in 2022, holds the largest collection of art, architecture and design in the Nordic countries, including Edvard Munch’s The Scream.
The Opera House on the Oslofjord waterfront was designed with a roof that slopes to the water so that you can walk across it.
Oslo has developed one of the strongest restaurant cultures in Scandinavia over the past two decades, with a generation of chefs building menus around Norwegian produce and coastal seafood. Do Not Disturb can recommend and reserve based on your preferences for the evening.
From Oslo, the Bergen Railway carries you west through the Hardangervidda mountain plateau to Myrdal, where you board the Flåmsbana. The descent covers 20 kilometers and drops nearly 900 meters through ravines and rock faces, with a stop at Kjosfossen where the waterfall drops 93 meters directly beside the track. The journey takes 55 minutes.
At the foot of the line, Flåm sits at the end of the Aurlandsfjord. Do Not Disturb can arrange a private boat into the Nærøyfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the narrowest fjord in Norway at around 250 meters across at its closest point. The walls of the fjord rise on both sides and waterfalls drop directly into the water below.
From the Nærøyfjord, the route continues to Bergen. The city was founded in 1070 and for several hundred years was the largest in Norway and the main port of the Hanseatic League. The coloured wooden buildings of Bryggen, the old wharf district, have stood in various forms since the 14th century and are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The fish market at the harbor runs each morning. Do Not Disturb arranges dinner at one of the harbor restaurants, where the seafood reflects Bergen’s position at the edge of the North Sea.
A short flight from Bergen brings you into Stockholm. The city sits across 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Your base for three nights is Ett Hem in the Lärkstaden district, a 1910 townhouse converted into a 12-room hotel by designer Ilse Crawford in 2012. The name means “the home” in Swedish, and the property runs on that principle, with a library, a garden and a kitchen where residents eat together.
Your private guide covers the city on the first full day, starting in Gamla Stan, the old town that has been the centre of Stockholm since the 13th century, before continuing to Skeppsholmen, the island that is now home to the Museum of Modern Art, and finishing at Svenskt Tenn on Strandvägen, the design institution that has been a reference point for Swedish interiors since 1924.
The Vasa Museum on Djurgården houses the warship Vasa, a Swedish Navy vessel that sank on its first voyage in 1628 and was raised from the harbor floor in 1961. The museum is built around the ship, which is 69 meters long and stands five stories tall inside the building.
On the third day, a private boat takes you into the Stockholm Archipelago, which stretches 60 miles into the Baltic across around 30,000 islands. Your skipper plots a course through the quieter channels, stopping on Fjäderholmarna for lunch before the return to the harbor.
A short flight from Stockholm brings you into Copenhagen. Rather than going directly into the city, Do Not Disturb takes you north along the coast of North Zealand to Kokkedal Castle, an 18th-century property on the shore of the Øresund coast in the heart of the royal North Zealand region. The castle sits in grounds that run down to the water, with a spa, a riding school and a restaurant in the original vaulted cellar that dates to 1746.
On the first afternoon, Do Not Disturb has arranged a polo session in the castle grounds with an instructor who works with riders at all levels, from those who have never been on a horse to those with experience in the saddle. The coast is visible from the field.
The second day is spent exploring the North Zealand coast. The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art at Humlebæk, 20 minutes south of the castle, sits in grounds that run down to the Øresund strait facing Sweden. The building was designed to integrate with the landscape and the sculpture garden between the galleries and the water is one of the best in Scandinavia.
The museum holds works by Giacometti, Warhol and Picasso alongside a programme of temporary exhibitions. From Louisiana, the route continues north to Helsingør, where Kronborg Castle sits on the headland at the narrowest point of the Øresund. The castle dates from the 15th century and is the setting Shakespeare used for Hamlet.
From Kokkedal, a private transfer brings you into Copenhagen and the Hotel d’Angleterre on Kongens Nytorv, at the top of the Nyhavn canal. The hotel has been on this site since 1755 and underwent a full restoration in 2013.
Your private guide covers the city on the first full day, starting in Nørrebro, where the city’s independent restaurants, coffee shops and design studios are concentrated. Jægersborggade is the street to know, with some of the most visited cafés and food producers in the city alongside a Michelin-starred restaurant. Do Not Disturb will request a reservation in advance, though availability cannot always be guaranteed.
Tivoli Gardens, operating in the centre of the city since 1843 and one of the inspirations Walt Disney cited when designing Disneyland, is worth an evening. The Designmuseum Danmark on Bredgade covers three centuries of Danish and international design in a building that was originally an 18th-century hospital.
On the final day, Do Not Disturb arranges a private Nordic Noir walking tour covering locations from The Bridge and The Killing, including the Politigården police headquarters, the City Court and the harbor front. The tour takes around two hours on foot.
The following morning, a private transfer takes you to Copenhagen Airport. Do Not Disturb handles the full routing home.
Spend time with Sami hosts in Swedish Lapland, learning about reindeer herding, seasonal migration, and a culture that has shaped life across northern Scandinavia for thousands of years.
A private yacht journey through the Stockholm Archipelago offers access to islands, anchorages, and coastal communities beyond the reach of standard sightseeing routes. With more than 30,000 islands scattered across the Baltic Sea, the experience reveals a side of Sweden best understood from the water.
Experience one of Sweden's oldest wellness traditions on a private island surrounded by the Baltic Sea.
Tromsø sits beneath the Auroral Oval in northern Norway, giving it some of the most consistent Northern Lights conditions in the world. A private boat charter departs when conditions are right, moves to the darkest available fjord and stays as long as the display warrants.
A multi-day dog sledding expedition on the Finnmarksvidda plateau in northern Norway covers 25 to 40 kilometres a day through terrain that has no roads and no artificial light. Guests drive their own sled, stay overnight in wilderness cabins and spend several days covering ground that is otherwise inaccessible in winter. The season runs from December through March.
