Additional details
Weather in Scandinavia
Summer is the peak tourist season in Scandinavia. In July, a popular month for tourism, the average daily temperatures range from 55 F to 72 F in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
Whereas winters can drop to a low 20 degrees when days are short and many sights and activities are on a limited schedule. Unless you're a hibernating polar bear, looking to hit the slopes, or have a hankering to see the winter sports plan accordingly if booking during this time.
Seeing the Northern Lights in Scandinavia
If you wish to see the Northern Lights in Scandinavia the best months to go would be between mid-October and March and the best times to see it would be from 11pm to 2am. The further south in Scandinavia you go, the less likely you will get to see it, because there is more light in the months before and after winter. The northern half of Norway and Sweden, and all of Iceland, are recognized as being the best places to view this phenomenon.
Top Cities in Scandinavia
Cities here are very unique. Stockholm, or as locals call it “beauty on water”, is known for its viking history, unique art, and beautiful scenery. You can take a bike tour around the city, sail the archipelago, and even take a moose and wildlife safari to see the surrounding wildlife Stockholm has to offer.
Copenhagen, a great place to visit all year round starting as a winter wonderland then melting away, transforming into a summer dream. Explore the city like a local on a bike where bikes outnumber cars 3:1.
Oslo is known for its lush greenery and museums. It is one of Europe’s most happening music scenes with more concerts than any other Scandinavian city.
If you have an obsession for Santa Claus, then Rovaniemi is a city you must visit. It is known as the official home town of Santa Claus. It’s also a great place to witness the Northern Lights. In this winter wonderland you can visit Santa Claus Village, take a sleigh ride to the Northern Lights, and even go on a reindeer safari.
What are the countries in Scandinavia?
Countries include Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Iceland is not technically part of Scandinavia, but it is often included when people talk about the region due to its historical, cultural and linguistic ties to the countries.
If English is your first language then you are in luck! Scandinavian languages consist of Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, but they begin to study English in school at a young age and most speak it very well.
