A boat trip through the fjords, Norway's natural jewels, is a breathtaking experience. As such, the Geiranger, the Naerøyfjord, the Sognefjord, and the Lysefjorden are among the must-see fjords, each offering a unique and awe-inspiring beauty.
Moreover, for those who dream of attending the famous midnight sun show, Norway is still the place to be. For this fantastic experience, a stopover in Honningsvag is highly recommended. The country is also home to another rare phenomenon: the Northern Lights, and if some travelers cannot get enough of these magical moments, reaching Finland is the right option. Hunting for the Northern Lights is a viral activity in the heart of the Finnish Taiga, especially at the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park.
Many wild spaces, rivers, and lakes are also located in Scandinavia, so it is recommended that visitors see some national parks, including Abisko and Sarek in Sweden or Jotunheimen in Norway, to see even more nature during a stopover. Admiring the North Cape will also attract those who want to see icebergs and polar bears in the distance.
A stop in the Nordic capitals to visit them is essential. The ferry route from Copenhagen to Oslo is an excellent option to discover both destinations. The first is savored for its historic city center and many charming canals; the other is best known for its many museums, art galleries, and beautiful monuments. Stockholm to Helsinki is another circuit. On the one hand, Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is a must-see destination for its stunning, colorful buildings. On the other hand, Helsinki, the capital of Finland, has a unique charm of its own with its urban culture blended with nature and the sea.
As for the observation of whales, a few places like Tromsø and the island of Kvaløya are trendy, where humpback whales and orcas can be admired. ◄
