Scandinavia

The countries in Scandinavia are very different to any other place in Europe. The countries that
form this extraodinary kingdom are Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Some even say that it includes
Iceland and Finland. Scandinavia is surrounded by the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. BGYB can
organise a charter to Scandinavia, taking you to some of the most unique places that Europe has to
offer.

Geographically it is an unimaginable utopia: it's landscape is varied. There are mountains, miles of
flat land and stunning lakes. The climate is strange: in winter the days are very short and the nights
are incredibly long and vice versa in the summer months. There are so many places to visit in
Scandinavia and below are some places that you can visit:

Suggested Destinations

Norway:
Oslo, capital of Norway, is renouned for its great sea food, fresh from the North Sea. There is a
huge range of activities for you to do here. The Royal Palace is surrounded by the most beautiful
park and for those of you who are more active, you can do some hiking and take in the incredible
scenery

Sweden:
Sweden has recently become a great competitor for producing the best food in Europe. Stockholm,
the capital has six restaurants with Michelin Stars. Selection of great museums to visit and a great
number of sights.

 
Denmark:
The capital city of Denmark is Copenhagen and it was formerly a Viking stronghold in
Europe. It is absolutely stunning: with very quirky architecture. There are plenty of museums and
historical sites to visit and even a Carlsberg Brewery where you can do some « beer tasting ».
Finland: Helsinki is the capital of Finland. There is so much to see here: art museums, parks,
cathedrals, and churches.
