I decided about a week ago to skip Scandinavia (except Norway). I wasn’t that interested in it I suppose. Coupled with the great distances to travel (costly) and the area being costly itself already and nothing that really attracts me, I decided to only travel to Bergen (Norway) and then take the train to Oslo. That way, I can visit the fjords, get a taste of Scandinavia, then see the landscapes across Norway. After Oslo, I will be flying to Kiev in Ukraine. Eastern Europe appeals to me more and I’m itching to get back there.
I am sure I will visit Scandinavia one day, along with Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
And come back with an Estonian wife. Yee haw!
The Bergen to Oslo train is one of the prettiest in Europe, especially if you take a ferry through the fjords in between. You’re really doing yourself a disservice by missing Denmark, one of my favorite countries, but without a Eurail pass it is indeed expensive.
Yeah, next time I’ll get a Eurail pass. I see the benefit of one now.
Eurail is a better value the further north you travel. For Scandinavia it’s practically essential.
