Visiting Scandinavia alone: advisable or not?

**Hooahguy** · 12-12-2013, 01:47

So Im leaving university after this semester (so in about a week) and taking some time off to figure out what I really want to do with life. Lately Ive been particularly fascinated with Scandinavia so Ive been thinking of saving up money to go on a tour. Unfortunately, I will most likely have nobody to go with as all my friends are in school and most dont really want to go to Scandinavia for some odd reason.

Ive been looking at various touring options but nothing really seems to satisfy me completely, and the ones that do are for groups only. I might want to plan a trip myself but Im not even sure where to start.

Any suggestions? And is touring alone even a good idea to start with?

Keep in mind that Scandinavia is incredibly expensive, and there isn't all that much to see and do. Frankly, it's rather boring.

Tivoli (coolest attraction park ever, positioned in the heart of Copenhagen) and café Europa in Copenhagen are a must see, so is the museum Lousiana

If you are an outdoor kind off guy you will probably love it then. But again, everything is expensive, don't be surprised if a bad pizza costs you the same amount of money that would buy you a King's meal somewhere else.

I hear that. I dont plan for it to be a long trip, probably a week at most.

Well if you go to the utmost north of Norway you can claim you have been in the artics. It's a beautifull country. Bring good outdoor-shoes with lots of profile in the soles, you are going to need them it's a rough place.
