The Route Around Jutland

1 Dover, England

Dover is situated at the mouth of a valley in the chalk uplands that form the famous white cliffs. A pre-Roman settlement existed on the site and, as Dubris, the place was important for Roman traffic with the European mainland.
The town’s strategic position on the south coast has been evident throughout its history. Archaeological digs in the area have revealed that the area has always been a focus for people entering and leaving Britain.
Bombed and shelled during World War Two, the shattered seafront was subsequently redeveloped after the war and is now the foremost passenger port in the United Kingdom.

2 Heligoland, Germany

Heligoland is a small German island in the North Sea. It’s a very popular destination for one-day ship cruises. A feature of the island is the almost total absence of car traffic, which makes it a quiet location. This red sand-stone rock with its green land steeplys stands out against the German Sea.
Heavily fought over during World War II, this small island has plenty of history and interesting places to see.

3 Kiel Canal

Cruise the Kiel Canal.

4 Ronne, Denmark

Rønne is the capital of Bornholm, a tiny island to the east of Denmark characterised by sandy beaches in the south and craggy cliffs and hilly landscapes in the north. Rønne was founded in the 13th century and was once an important Baltic trading post.
The town grew up around its natural harbour and today the population lives by fishing, farming and, increasingly, tourism. Approaching Rønne from the sea, you will see St Nikolai’s church on the hill just above the port. Close to the harbour, in Laksegade, there is an enchanting area of rose-clad, half-timbered 17th and 18th-century houses, including the terracotta-roofed Erichsen’s Gaard.
The oldest building in Rønne is situated near the harbour and was originally constructed as a warehouse for storing provisions for the Navy. The oldest theatre in Denmark, built in 1823, is in Rønne and the ruins of one of northern Europe’s largest castles are to be found nearby, at Hammerhus.

5 Copenhagen, Denmark

By the 11th century, Copenhagen was already an important trading and fishing centre and today you will find an attractive city which, although the largest in Scandinavia, has managed to retain its low-level skyline.
Discover some of the famous attractions including Gefion Fountain, the Little Mermaid statue and Amalienborg Palace, perhaps cruise the city’s waterways, visit Frederiksborg Castle or explore the medieval fishing village of Dragoer.
Once the home of Hans Christian Andersen, Copenhagen features many reminders of its fairytale heritage and lives up to the reputation immortalised in the famous song ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’.

6 Helsingborg, Sweden

Helsingborg is one of the oldest cities of Sweden and the closest point to Denmark, situated on the east side of the Oresund on Sweden’s south-west coast.
Historic Helsingborg, with its many old buildings, is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a medieval fortress called Karnan in the city centre, which has stood guard in Helsingborg for over 600 years, and more modern commercial buildings.
The citie’s streets vary from wide avenues to small alley-ways. Kullagatan is the main pedestrian shopping street in the city. It was the first pedestrian shopping street in Sweden.

7 Aalborg

Occupying both banks of the Limfjord, Aalborg is the main city of north Jutland and the fourth largest in Denmark. A veritable cultural and historical treasure trove, it has the largest Viking burial ground at Lindholm Hoje, as well as a cathedral, a monastery and a castle. There is a well preserved 17th-century city centre dating from the city’s trading heyday. Aalborg has the most impresssive Renaissance buildings in Denmark. During your time here you may choose to discover more of the historic city of Aalborg by joining either a tour which reveals the city’s highlights or a walking tour around the old part of the city. Alternatively, explore a selection of Jutland’s best castles and the interesting St Mary’s Church. Built along the south bank of the Limfjord, it is the region’s main transport terminus and has always been known as a trading centre.

8 Gothenburg Sweden

Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries.
Situated on the west coast of Sweden, Gothenburg holds a lively cultural scene, stylish shopping and – with five Michelin-starred restaurants – is quickly earning a reputation as a centre of gastronomic excellence.

9 Oslo, Norway

Oslo is the capital of Norway and is also its largest city, situated at the head of Oslo Fjord and surrounded by hills and forests. Home to some 50 museums including the Viking Ships Museum and full of galleries, cafes, a sculpture park and the Royal Palace, this vibrant city with its handsome 19th century buildings and wide streets has much to offer.
Its history dates back 1000 years and includes a rich seafaring heritage spanning the Vikings to Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon Tiki expedition. Discover more about this exciting city on the following excursions.

10 Mandal, Norway

Built on both sides of the Mandalselva River mouth, Mandal, the most southerly town in Norway.
Madal is famous for its long-stretching beaches surrounding the town. The most famous beach, Sjøsanden, is a short walk from the town centre.

As you stroll through the town, you’ll see the charming, well preserved white wooden houses and the Mandal river running through it.
Another attraction is the city’s church, Mandal kirke. It is the largest wooden church in Norway, with 1,800 seats and a pulpit on the wall behind the altar.

11 Stavanger, Norway

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Stavanger flourished in the early 19th century as a centre for the fishing trade and while other towns and cities in Norway have suffered with the decline of the industry, Stavanger has managed to keep its economy booming by diversifying, first into ship building and now into oil.
These two contrasting industries have led to Stavanger being a city of two halves – it has a bustling and modern area of high-rise buildings and a historic old centre of warehouses, stock rooms, cobbled streets and clapboard residential buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
The city centre has a range of shopping and dining opportunities but is also home to a number of historically significant attractions and was the birthplace of Alexander Kielland, one of the great 19th-century Norwegian novelists. Its cathedral, dating back to 1125, is an impressive building and the only cathedral in Norway to retain its original features.
From here you can explore the attractive blue waters of Lysefjord, surrounded by cliffs and striking rock formations, and visit Hafrsfjord where 29 small kingdoms were united to form the Kingdom of Norway in the 9th century. For those interested in learning more about oil excavation from the North Sea, an independent visit to the very informative Petroleum Museum is recommended.
