A trip through Denmark, along the Swedish west coast and the Norwegian capital. The route from Hamburg to Copenhagen are 2 variants, over the mainland or via the ferry from Puttgarden Germany to Rødbyhavn Denmark.

Copenhagen

The Copenhagen Opera House is clad in southern German Jura Gelb limestone and the foyer features Sicilian Perlatino marble. The glass facade offers a view of the large wooden shell in the interior that encompasses the main hall. Walkways and stairwells act as connectors between the wood-enclosed auditorium and the balconies that line the facade

Helsenborg

The museum was originally located on Kronborg Castle . In 2013, the museum moved into a ​​new underground building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) around a former dry dock. The old dry dock, 150 meters (490 ft) long, 25 meters (82 ft) wide and 9 meters (30 ft) deep, proved to be an ideal site, but it was necessary to reinforce the old dock walls before the museum could be built on its periphery. The dock itself remains an empty space criss-crossed by ramps and bridges that provide access to the museum and exhibition spaces.

Gothenburg

Gothenburg Operan, The building should have an airiness that makes your mind soar over the meandering landscape like wings of seagulls. The form should be inspired by the location, from the beautiful but elusive landscape with its light and open spaces to the more tangible engineering constructions of the port; the gracefully hanging bridges over the water, the transparent framework of the harbor cranes, the strength, softness and elegance of the hulls, the wings of seagulls and the impeccable aerodynamic shape of sails.
