DAY 5: Bergen.

Founded in 1070AD, Norway's original capital is a beautiful and charming city with a wealth of history and heritage. The ancient Bryggen area has fascinating wooden houses dating from the 14th to 17th-centuries, as well as many quaint little shops, the 12th-century Mariakirke and the Hanseatic Museum, an old house restored to show how medieval merchants lived and worked.

A cosmopolitan city set on the southeast coast of Norway, Stavanger was the European Capital of Culture in 2008 and boasts charming traditional architecture, small, brightly coloured wooden houses and a bustling nightlife.

Estonia's capital is a fascinating city with a well-preserved medieval Old Town and a melée of fortifications, churches and winding cobbled streets. A magnet for visitors is Toompea, a hill at the heart of the city, home to many fine buildings, including the 19th century Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Toompea Castle and the Toomkirik, a Lutheran cathedral built in 1233. The lively Town Hall Square, lined with open-air cafés and bars, is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. (B, L, D)

DAY 11: St Petersburg.

Known as the 'Venice of the North' and Russia's most European city, St Petersburg was created by Peter the Great in 1703 as Russia's 'Window on the West', and was built with 18th and 19th-century European pomp and orderliness, mainly by European architects. The result is a city which remains one of the world's most beautiful and enchanting, with a wealth of fine buildings, including the famous Winter Palace, housing the magnificent Hermitage Museum, which easily rivals such well respected establishments as the Louvre, the Prado and the British Museum. (B, L, D)

DAY 12: Helsinki.

Often called the 'White City of the North' because of its many buildings constructed using a local light-coloured granite, Finland's capital city retains a small-town feel, with no high-rise buildings and many charming parks and waterways. (B, L, D)

Built on 14 islands, Sweden's capital is a beautiful city, with noble architecture and lovely parks. The Gamla Stan Old Town is home to many sightseeing attractions, including the magnificent 18th-century Royal Palace, the majestic Cathedral of St Nicholas and the Stock Exchange. The city is also Sweden's main educational and cultural centre and has a university that dates back to 1877, as well as a fine opera house, theatre and concert hall. (B, L, D)

For your convenience, a service charge of 15% is added to all bar and wine orders.
