Copenhagen
October 16th to 22nd, 2016
We’re trying something a little different this time around. In the true Scandinavian spirit, we are offering a ‘smorgasbord’ that offers a choice a 4 night/5 day ‘taste’ of Copenhagen or a full 7 day/6 night week of experiences.The reason? Two sides of the same coin—sometimes getting away for a whole week is just too hard. Then again once you do manage to break out some time—why not make the most of it? Come to Berlin--and stay for Copenhagen! There is no wrong choice on this one.And why Copenhagen? Oh, there are many, many, many reasons...for just a few...

We dedicated a whole day to this extraordinary museum an hour north of Copenhagen. There is that much to see and do--and all of it pure pleasure. Highlights include an extraordinary permanent collection as well as upcoming temporary exhibitions at the time of our visit which include a major retrospective on Louise Bourgeoius and an exhibition of work by German artist Daniel Richter. Then there are the grounds--the property is a perfectly manicured sculpture garden running along the edge of the sea. All in all an experience not to be missed or rushed!
