Never a truer word was spoken (or sung) than 'Wonderful Copenhagen.' At the very heart of Copenhagen is Tivoli Gardens and Amusement Park. The gardens are a wonderland for the young, and young at heart, where you can soar above the city in a hot air balloon suspended from a Ferris Wheel.

Estonia’s cruise port Tallinn is also a fascinating medieval capital. This multi-faceted jewel of a city and its architecture – a legacy of Teutonic, Polish and Russian rule – will have your eyes on stalks.

On the banks of the Elbe River lies the city of Hamburg. This famous city emerged from superb post-war restoration a prosperous celebration of a proud civic spirit, of striking architecture both modern and ancient, of an epic history and splendid art, of cosmopolitan shopping, dining and nightlife.

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen was the adopted home of Hans Christian Andersen  - commemorated in the waterfront sculpture of his Little Mermaid. And, true to the spirit of its most famous resident, Copenhagen has a fairytale magic all of its own.
