In what is the first of a few posts about our Scandinavia trip, I want to start by giving you a glimpse into our itinerary and share a little photo diary with you (I am still sorting through over 2,500 photos – praise be to cloud storage). I didn’t mean to leave you guys hanging for so long on this, and I promise there are even more fun photos and details to come, but we’ve been getting so many questions about planning that I thought a little itinerary post would help kick this series off.
Scandinavia Itinerary – Day by Day (17 days, 5 countries)
Day 1: Arrive in Tallinn, Estonia
Day 2: Explore Tallinn’s Old Town
Day 3: Day trip to Helsinki, Finland; evening in Tallinn
Day 4: Explore Tallinn; take overnight boat to Stockholm, Sweden
Day 5: Arrive in Stockholm in the morning and spend afternoon/evening exploring
Day 6: Explore Stockholm and take a boat through the archipelago (Sigtuna and Vaxholm are good destinations)
Day 7: Day trip to Drottningholm Palace
Day 8: Explore Stockholm
Day 9: Train to Copenhagen, Denmark
Day 10: Explore Copenhagen (take a canal cruise or check out Tivoli Gardens)
Day 11: Day trip to Frederiksborg Castle and Gilleleje for lunch on the water
Day 12: Visit the Carlsberg Brewery and finish the day with a canal cruise
Day 13: Fly to Bergen, Norway
Day 14: Day trip exploring Sognefjord
Day 15: Norway in a Nutshell tour – the train portion at the end will get you to Oslo
Day 16: Explore Oslo
Day 17: Fly home!
More details will be coming as far as restaurants and specific sites that are musts, but you can see that if you plan your route carefully you can squeeze it all in. A combination of planes, trains, and boats will get you from point A to point B. This was our longest trip to date and brings our total number of countries visited to 25. Not that we’re counting at all, but it’s just amazing to think that in the last decade we’ve managed to see so much of the world. And there’s so much more yet to explore!
And now for what you REALLY want to see…photos! There are so many more where these come from so keep an eye out on future posts!
