Want sun-drenched fjords and 22-hour days? Go in summer (June–August). Want Northern Lights, snow-dusted cities and the chance to live your best Nordic fairytale? Aim for winter (December–February).

In summer, you’ll get mild-to-warm days (15–25°C). But winter? Expect snow, ice (and even good chances of seeing the Northern Lights!) Temps can go as low as -20°C up north). Layers are your best friend.

ATMs are everywhere - cities, airports, even the odd fishing village. But heads up: Scandinavians love card payments so much; some places don’t even accept cash.

A week is long enough to dip your toes in. But two weeks is great if you wanna fjord-hop, chase trolls, and try all the cinnamon buns.

Layers, layers, layers. A waterproof jacket, comfy walking shoes, warm socks, and something cute-but-functional for city strolls. Don’t forget sunglasses (yes, even in winter), a power adaptor, and your best hygge-ready outfit for all those candlelit dinners.

Scandinavia uses the standard European two-pin plug (Type C or F), with 230V voltage. So if you’re from the UK, US, or anywhere non-Euro-pluggy, pack an adaptor.

Yes! Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland are consistently ranked among the most LGBTQIA+ inclusive countries in the world. Pride is big, rights are respected, and people are generally chill.
