Other reasons for visiting the Nordic countries are the outstanding modern architecture, excellent museums, internationally acclaimed restaurants and imaginative solutions for 21st-century urban living. Also, the many old castles in the three monarchies, Denmark, Sweden and Norway are reasons for visiting the countries.

Significant expanses of wild nordic nature like lakes, forests, volcanoes, lovely beaches, rugged fjords, archipelagoes and a lot of pure air are also what you find in the Nordic countries.

Whether you are in a car or coach, by boat or train, the Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Greenland have a variety of sights and sceneries.

 
When to visit the Nordic countries

In the Nordic countries, there are many things to explore in all seasons. There are pleasant warm summers with daylight from 18-24 hours with excellent possibilities to take a cruise, hiking or visit the many attractions the Nordic countries have to offer.

In autumn the forested lands can be the most beautiful of all, as the birches and other trees display a glorious array of colours.

To visit the Nordic in spring is quite an experience because you here can watch nature getting very green awaking after a long winter. The temperature is rising, and the many festivals you can visit here are beginning now their season.

The winters can be cold. Still, there are a wealth of things to do like skiing, dog sledging, snowmobile safaris, stay at a snow hotel or visiting Santa Claus in Rovaniemi in Finland, not to forget the majestic Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, as it also is called.
