Scandinavia Highlights

With four different countries to explore, a huge range of cultures and experiences await!  

Whilst Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland are all unique in their own way, they do share a lot of similarities – their historic treasures, for example. From the royal palaces of Copenhagen and the castle of Malmö, to the churches and cathedrals of Trondheim, you’ll soon see there’s much more to Scandinavian history than just Vikings. 

If you really want to dive into the region’s history, you can learn about the Sami people’s way of life at the village of Karasjok in Norway. Found in settlements across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, and with a total population of around 80,000, find out more about their culture, beliefs, traditions and even the meals they cook!  

Searching for spectacular scenery? Awe-inspiring landscapes of dramatic mountains, fjords, forests and glaciers combine with the incredible architecture and tranquil parkland of Scandinavia’s cities. Whether you discover the island in the middle of Stockholm, Djurgården, or head to North Zealand – known as ‘the Danish Riviera’ – you’ll want to remember your camera.

The Little Mermaid

A must-see sight when visiting the Danish capital, the Little Mermaid is a sculpture made of bronze and granite that sits in the water at Langelinie Pier.
