Scandinavia combines two cities in 7 days, not three. Here's the honest plan.
Best 7-day Scandinavia (Stockholm + Copenhagen)
- Day 1-4: Stockholm (4 nights)
- Day 5-7: Train or fly to Copenhagen (3 nights)
Alternative — Norway focus
- Day 1-2: Oslo
- Day 3-4: Norway in a Nutshell (Oslo to Bergen via Flåm fjord route)
- Day 5-7: Bergen + day-trip to Hardangerfjord
Alternative — Helsinki + Tallinn
- Day 1-3: Helsinki
- Day 4: Day-trip to Tallinn by ferry
- Day 5-7: Continue to Stockholm by overnight ferry, then 2 nights Stockholm
What doesn't work in 7 days
- Stockholm + Copenhagen + Oslo: Half is travel.
- Tromsø + capital cities: Different climate, different trip.
- Iceland + mainland Scandinavia: Different country, different trip.
Cost reality
€250-€400/day comfortable. Scandinavia is among Europe's most expensive. Save with hostels, self-catered apartments, supermarket lunches.
