Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Take some time away from the city with a day trip to Donso Island in the archipelago of Gothenburg. Head out on a walk with your leader on one of the nature trails, looking out for birds, enjoying coastal views and taking photos of some iconic Swedish sights.
Sweat the day away at a relaxing Finnish sauna – a quintessential experience in Helsinki and known as one of the key experiences to happiness – and maybe take a quick refreshing dip in the Baltic Sea!
Tick trendy Copenhagen off your bucket list and wander the colourful houses, then explore Copenhill and learn about their sustainability efforts while taking in the views of the city from above.
Head out on a pub crawl in Gothenburg – what walkable city doesn’t get better when the sun goes down? Enjoy a couple of drinks with new friends and explore the nightlife of Sweden's second-largest city.
Choose your own adventure with heaps of free time to customise your trip however you like – maybe rent bikes and cycle through the cities, see museums and soak up the history, art and culture, or cafe hop to sample some local delicacies.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip includes accommodation in multi-share dormitories, where you won't be staying in twin share hotels, but rather cool hangouts with shared facilities. This means travellers on the same booking may be split between rooms due to the single gender dormitories.
Scandinavia can be an expensive destination in many ways, from museum entrance fees to optional activities and eating out. Your leader will be able to advise on how to have the best value holiday in Scandinavia.
This trip travels primarily on public transport. We recommend packing light as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations, ferry ports and hotels, which can include walking up stairs and over cobblestones. Train stations often don’t have elevator access.
The areas visited on this trip can be cold between October and March, and at night. Rain is possible at any time of year. Summers on the other hand can be quite hot with temperatures reaching up 30 C. Please familiarise yourself with what to expect and bring appropriate clothing for adverse weather conditions.
