Savor the Flavors of Scandinavia

Please pack light — you’ll be travelling on public transport where storage space is limited. You should be comfortable lifting your luggage onto racks, rolling it over cobblestone streets, and carrying it up and down stairs when needed.
Scandinavian weather can be unpredictable, with chilly evenings even in warmer months, especially at the start and end of the season. Be sure to bring layers, including a warm jacket, hat, gloves, and scarf to stay comfortable in changing conditions.
Scandinavia is known for its high quality of life — and prices reflect that. Dining out and optional activities can be costly, but your leader will share tips to help you get the best value throughout your trip.

Space is often limited in European hotels, so rooms may be compact. Central locations make up for this, but do note that double beds are not always standard — twin beds are more common and may be placed together. In some cases, bathroom facilities may be shared.
As time in Oslo and Copenhagen is limited, you may wish to extend your stay in either city. Speak with your booking agent in advance to arrange additional accommodation (subject to availability).

This trip offers a great introduction to southern Scandinavia, but it doesn’t include the Norwegian fjords. If you’d like to explore further, consider extending your adventure with longer itineraries such as Copenhagen to Northern Norway, Scandinavia & Baltic Circuit, or Complete Scandinavia. ✨

Visa information is provided by Sherpa, a trusted third-party. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements and does not cover full entry visas. U.S. citizens traveling to Italy for stays under 90 days typically do not need a tourist visa. Additional service fees may apply if you choose to purchase a visa through Sherpa. Always check official sources before traveling.

Accommodation: Hotel (3 nights), Pension (3 nights with shared facilities)
The accommodation listed in the itinerary is intended as a guide and may vary depending on availability. Occasionally, we may arrange alternative properties, but these will always be of a similar standard to ensure your comfort.
While we do our best to have rooms ready upon arrival — especially if arriving before standard check-in time — this cannot always be guaranteed. In such cases, you’ll be able to store your luggage and head out to explore your new destination, or sometimes make use of shared day rooms until your accommodation becomes available.

Please note: flight arrangements

We can assist with booking flights from any airport in the United States that is convenient for you. Occasionally, alternative routing or airlines may need to be arranged due to availability, but we will always ensure your flights align with your tour dates and provide the same level of comfort and reliability. Our goal is to make your journey to Italy smooth, stress-free, and perfectly timed with your tour.
