<p><b>Tour 1 Sunday 10th of August: Vikingland Tour<br>
</b>Duration 6 hours (or 7 hours with boat trip), price per person 570 Danish kroner (approx £49 / $77 / € 77) (or 865 Danish kroner with boat trip).<br>
9.30 am – 3.30 pm (4.30 pm)<br>
We drive through the busy industrial area of Copenhagen, through green farmland dotted with small villages and see the little churches beside the village pond in Ledøje. We continue into Viking country passing a row of prehistoric tumuli and dolmen. The road goes along the picturesque Roskilde Fjord and passes the atomic research station Risø. In Roskilde we visit the Cathedral, where Danish Kings and Queens have been buried since pagan times. Then on to the Viking Ship Museum to see 5 recently salvaged
Viking Ships from the Roskilde Fjord. These ships were sunk about 1000 years ago to
prevent the enemies of the town from entering the Fjord. Then we drive to a local inn, where a stop is made for lunch, before continuing to see a 4000-year old passage grave at Øm. Afterwards, we drive back to Copenhagen.<br>
As an extra activity on this tour we can add a boat trip of two hours in a copy of a
Viking Ship. (NB limited number of participants! 48 or 96 persons) This will imply a shorter visit to Roskilde
Cathedral.</p>
<p><b>Tour 2 Wednesday afternoon 13th of August: Copenhagen Sightseeing<br>
</b>Duration 3 hours, price per person 200 Danish kroner (approx £17 / $27 / € 27). <br>
2 pm – 5 pm<br>
This is a combined coach and boat tour. We leave by coach and drive past the Tivoli Gardens and the New Carlsberg Glyptotek. We continue to the new University District, past the Lakes and visit the Gefion Fountain and the St. Alban’s Church. We continue via the Langelinie Promenade to the Little Mermaid, who is sitting on her stone looking wistfully for her prince. From here we drive to the Old Fish Market, where we change from coach to boat. We cruise leisurely through the bustling harbour and the canals of Christianshavn with its picturesque old buildings. The tour ends in the very heart of
Copenhagen.</p>
<p><b>Tour 3 Saturday 16th of August: Castle Tour of North Zealand<br>
</b>Duration 7 hours, price per person 620 Danish kroner (approx £53 / $83 / € 83).<br>
9.30 am – 4.30 pm.<br>
We leave Copenhagen and drive past Sorgenfri Palace and the Open-Air Museum in Lyngby into typical Danish countryside. We visit Frederiksborg Castle, Hillerød, built by King Christian IV, approx. 1600. The castle is today our Museum of National History with priceless collections of furniture and paintings. Afterwards we go past Fredensborg Palace – the Queen’s spring and autumn residence – before arriving in Helsingør, at the entrance of the Sound. A very imposing castle, Kronborg, was built here to protect the route to the Baltic, and Shakespeare used the castle and its setting for his famous play “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”.</p>
<h2>Conference Dinner – Friday the 15th</h2>
<p>The conference dinner takes place at Langelinie Pavillon, next to the Little Mermaid at 7 pm, Langelinie, Copenhagen. Dinner costs 585 Danish kroner (approx £50 / $80 / € 80) per person and includes an aperitif, a three-course meal with white, red and dessert wine, and
