Copenhagen has many architectural marvels from the oldest functioning observatory to the colorful buildings that line the main harbor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Scandinavia. It was everything we’d hoped for and more!
The hotels were all well located and the star of the trip was our boutique lodge in Alta, Norway. The attentive staff, the food… everything was exceptional! They worked non-stop trying to make our stay the best it could be. As a primary motivation for the trip was to see the Northern Lights, the ease of this in this unique setting was wonderful. We only had to step outside of our cabin to check whether the lights were active or not. No hours-long excursion to escape light pollution was necessary as it is in other destinations.
The excursions we did partake in—the fjord cruise, the husky safari, and a tour of the igloo hotel—were also well run and very enjoyable. Zicasso’s travel specialist hit it out of the park!

This was our second trip with Zicasso’s travel specialist and, like the first trip, it was amazing. She found us a new boutique lodge in the middle of a forest above the Arctic Circle for what was originally planned as a Northern Lights viewing experience. The lights did not disappoint (brilliant on each of our first three nights), but they turned out to be just the icing on the cake.
The daytime activities for each of our four days were fantastic: fjord cruise, Sami experience, meeting with a reindeer rancher and learning about the Sami history and culture (including a reindeer sled ride), Alaskan husky dogsled experience, and snowmobiling to a plateau that felt like the North Pole. Plus snowshoe hiking through the woods at the lodge.
Our boutique lodge above the Arctic Circle was an amazing place. Our cabin, with its own sauna, hot tub, and aurora dome in the woods, was perfect. And our chef (yes, a real French chef in the wilderness above the Arctic Circle) made every meal memorable (the reindeer carpaccio, reindeer bourguignon, and reindeer confit were outstanding).
What a fantastic trip. And thanks to the travel specialist, all we had to do was show up, no planning and few decisions to be made.
