OVERVIEW

Your first stop is Stockholm, a metropolis of noble buildings sited on islands. Next is Copenhagen, home of the world's oldest monarchy. You will also visit Roskilde, where you can inspect Viking ships and artifacts. One special concern on this tour is understanding the Scandinavian quality of life, so you will visit with consular officials at the US Embassy in Copenhagen and faculty members at the University of Copenhagen to discuss the similarities and differences between Denmark and the United States.
