Travel in Scandinavia - Exciting Part of the World

Scandinavia is located in Northern Europe and consists of three countries: Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Finland is also at times considered to be a part of Scandinavia, though the term, "Nordic Countries" is often the preferred way to include Finland to the group, as well as Iceland. Because of its location on the Gulf Stream, the temperature in Scandinavia tends to stay pretty mild throughout the year, even though the countries do extend a bit past the Arctic Circle to the north. That being said, like with any country, whether you live close to the mountains, near a body of water, up high, down low, etc., temperatures can definitely vary from place to place. The most common languages spoken here are Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, though many people speak or understand English as well, which is why English speaking tourists tend to feel comfortable and welcomed with open arms here.

Scandinavia has many notable foods, like lingonberries, pickled herring, crispbread, open faced sandwiches, pea soup, flour pancakes, Gravadlax, and many others. The widely used term, “ Smörgåsbord ” originated in Scandinavia, which refers to a large buffet style meal, consisting of a variety of hot and cold dishes.
