Land of the Midnight Sun
Setting political reasonings aside and just appreciating the region’s natural beauty, there is no wonder as to why much of the countries in Scandinavia are considered to be the happiest in the world. Perpetual nights are illuminated by the dancing northern lights followed by days of seemingly never-ending sunlight. Adding in the breathtaking fjords, colossal mountains, and overtly welcoming locals, visitors will see exactly what makes Scandinavia so uniquely Scandinavian. Not to be confused with the Nordic and Baltic regions, the Scandinavian Peninsula has been a political playground for Northern Europe for centuries. Today, the region is shared by Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Whether you decide to try your hand at dog sledding in Tromsø in Northern Norway or to learn of the Finnish sauna Etiquette in Helsinki, Scandinavia offers endless experiences. From cycling Copenhagen, one of the most cycling-friendly cities in the world to savoring traditional Swedish dishes in Stockholm, the choice is yours.
