136 SCANDINAVIA<br />

Sweden<br />

Vikings and Volvos, ABBA and IKEA all are synonymous<br />

with Sweden. But that’s just the tip of the country’s<br />

offshore icebergs. The land of the midnight sun and<br />

snowbound winters is also the birthplace of the Nobel Prize<br />

and home to a landscape of immeasurable beauty. Explore<br />

its dense forests, lush countryside and clear, coastal waters,<br />

and when you’re done dive into its traditional heartlands,<br />

Dalarna and Sami territory, and hip cities.<br />

Finland<br />

Covered with a thick blanket of snow or basking in golden<br />

summer sun, Finland is a vital and exciting country. Finland<br />

explodes into life with many a festival and competition,<br />

from the traditional motor racing and ice hockey to quirky<br />

events such as wife carrying and mobile-phone throwing.<br />

Winter is charming too: snow sports are a national pastime<br />

and you won’t want to miss the breathtaking aurora<br />

borealis light up the northern sky.<br />

Norway<br />

Norway is defined by its incomparable landscape of<br />

grand fjords, rugged mountains, stunning coastline and<br />

pristine wilderness. It’s also a land of polar bears, 3,000<br />

at last count, of midnight-sun summer cruises, beautiful<br />

architecture and the world’s wealthiest people (per<br />

capita). Don’t miss Jotunheimen National Park – the roof<br />

of Norway with glaciers, hiking trails and one of Norway’s<br />

most beautiful drives.<br />

Scandinavia<br />

Scandinavia is a special and unforgettable part of Europe. Landscapes of towering alpine peaks, endless<br />

views of pine forest, polar plains, meadows, glaciers, with the eastern edge lined with a rolling coastline.<br />

The land of the midnight sun and the staggeringly beautiful northern lights will captivate.<br />

Hire a car or use the top-notch public transport system to<br />

explore lively towns, exciting cities, rural countryside,<br />

Viking ruins, medieval churches, Renaissance castles and<br />

tidy 18th century villages. Alternatively, join the locals<br />

along winding cobblestone streets as they shop and dine<br />

at some of the most exciting places in Europe.<br />
