The best way to see Scandinavia is to see as much of the region as you can! Travel by coach to enjoy drives through the Scandinavian countryside filled with beautiful scenery. Combined with driving and walking tours of bustling towns and cities. Another must-do is to cruise through the waterways and fjords of the region to appreciate Scandinavia from a new vantage point!
Summer is the best time to travel in Scandinavia as the sun is shining and the weather is warm! It’s great for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Spring is also a lovely time to visit when the countryside comes into bloom after a long, cold winter.
If you are comfortable completing the city walking tours then you will be fit enough for this tour. Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes! If you would like to enjoy other activities such as hiking, be sure you are feeling fit and healthy and choose the route that is right for you.
The hotels will be twin-share rooms and travellers will be paired with someone of the same gender. One night will be spent aboard an overnight ferry in twin-share cabins. If you would prefer a private room, single supplements are available at an extra cost for both hotel and ferry accommodation.
