The best of Scandinavia

Remember to bring an identity card or a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into the country.

We ask you to report any food allergies and/or intolerances immediately after booking.

The itinerary may undergo some changes before and/or during the trip.

A single supplement is available if you prefer not to share a room during this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of the trip and is subject to availability.

You don't have much time available in Oslo at the end of your trip, so if you want to thoroughly explore this spectacular city, we recommend extending your stay by a day or two.

The areas visited on this trip can be very cold at night throughout the year, especially at the beginning and end of the season and during the winter months. On the other hand, summers can have mixed weather, with some very hot days. Please familiarize yourself with the expected climate and bring appropriate clothing for adverse weather conditions, including base layers, hat, gloves, scarf, coat, and anything else you think might be applicable.

Scandinavia can be an expensive destination in many ways, from museum entrance fees to optional activities, but especially in terms of dining. Keep this in mind when booking your trip. Your leader will be available to advise you on how to save money.

Please note that on this trip there will not be much time in Oslo and Copenhagen - extra time is recommended for both cities. Please consult your agent for booking additional accommodations in both cities (subject to availability).

Hotels in Europe often do not have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be joined/separated. Rooms in Scandinavia tend to be small and occasionally the bathrooms will be shared with other guests.

On this trip, you should pack your bags as lightly as possible because you will have to carry your own luggage and although you won't be required to walk long distances with it (max 30 minutes), we strongly advise keeping the weight under 15 kg / 33 lbs. Most travelers carry their luggage in a backpack, although a travel bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you're traveling light. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient, but we recommend that your bag has carrying straps to cope with cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, stairs, and steps you may encounter while transporting your luggage. You will also need a daypack/bag to carry water and a camera, etc., for day trips.

This journey offers you a taste of southern Scandinavia that doesn't cover the Norwegian fjords. If you wish to explore further, you might consider looking at longer trips: from Copenhagen to northern Norway, the Scandinavian and Baltic circuit, and complete Scandinavia.
