How to Make the Best of Your Scandinavian Experience

No less than Northern Lights, this experience deserves a place in your travel agenda. And you can see both on the same route. The most popular Scandinavian location to see the midnight sun is the North Cape - the northernmost point of Europe where you can also experience numerous attractions.

We also recommend you visiting the northernmost town in Sweden called Kiruna. There you can observe the midnight sun, Northern Lights and visit the world-famous Icehotel. Oh, and don’t forget to go dog sledding - this is the true experience of Lapland and Sami culture.

The Midsummer Festival that celebrates the summer solstice is a big deal in Scandinavia or, in other words, party time! If you are lucky to be traveling in June, pick any Scandinavian country to experience this festival of light, flowers, food, and music.

Filled with singing, folk dance, and rituals associated with nature, it will give you a good dive into Scandinavian culture and traditions.

While packing your bags, we recommend watching some great Scandinavian movies to get a glimpse of its culture. “Trollywood” is the informal name for a well-known film production facility in Trollhättan Municipality in Sweden. Another center of the Scandinavian movie industry in Denmark with its famous Lars von Trier and Carl Tr. Dreyer.
You can find a variety of movies worth watching produced from the 1960s till now. Here are a few: Pusher (1996), Open Hearts (2002), Worlds Apart (2008), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009).
