Let’s take the train to uncover the mysterious veil of the Nordic countries- the fascinating northern land!

Eurail has created itineraries connecting the World Heritage sites featured in VisitWorldHeritage.com, specifically designed for Chinese travellers.

1. Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen, the capital of Demark and the largest city in Northern Europe, is a good start of this journey. Copenhagen is a really neat and beautiful city, which was once called “the world’s most livable city”.

It combines the traditional historical and cultural influences with the modern style of the emerging manufacturing industry. The soothing pace of life is in harmony with the busy business atmosphere here. The “Mermaid” statue quietly stands in Copenhagen’s port, contributing to the romance of the city.

It takes 25-40 minutes from Copenhagen by bus, but you can also take the train. Once the bus arrives, you can start walking into the forest.

2. Par Force Hunting Landscape of North Sealand, Denmark

The Par Force Hunting Landscape of North Sealand in Denmark has been the exclusive hunting venue of the Danish royalty since ancient times. Nowadays, it remains a pure natural scenery and is home to lots of wild animals and plants.
The park shows beautiful scenery of nature in different seasons all year round. You can rent a bicycle and ride along the forest trail to enjoy nature. Maybe you can also meet groups of deer passing by in the forest.

It takes about 5h20 by train.

3. Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is the capital and the largest metropolis of Sweden. You can find both the influence of the Nordic traditional history and the style of modern cities. You will feel like travelling through medieval Europe when you visit the old town, traditional churches, palaces, squares and streets. In the new town, however, the high buildings, ships and seagulls in the port, cars and pedestrians passing by make this city more vibrant.

It takes about 15 minutes to Stockholm by car, taxi or subway.

4. Royal Domain of Drottningholm, Sweden

Drottningholm, an island close to Stockholm, is the place where the Swedish Royal Palace is located. There are various garden castles, traditional gardens of Europe, classical Chinese pavilions and the royal castles of Sweden.

Drottningholm is close to the center of Stockholm, but it has a completely different style with less hustle and bustle and more quiet and peace. The best way to visit is taking a boat to enjoy the ancient castle and greenery by the lake and experience the elegance and tranquility of Europe.

It takes about 2h40 by train.

5. Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun, Sweden

Falun, a small town in central Sweden, was once one of the most important copper mines in the world. Today, you can’t find the miners working in this industrial city any more. Instead, the tourists are coming and going.

In Falun, you will have a chance to explore the industrial mining town of the 17th century. In the mining museum, visitors can learn about the industrial history of the town and even Sweden. Wandering in Falun is like exploring centuries of history. You can also buy some local mineral products as souvenirs.

Winter in the Falun Mine region is a magical time and the snow beautifully highlights the factory's red Falun paint. - © Richard Lindor
