Scandinavia Highlights



Hello friends! As you know I love love LOVE to travel, and a few weeks ago returned from a 12 day trip to Scandinavia. That region had been on my bucket list forever and I absolutely loved every minute of my visit. I traveled there in late April so it was still cold and required a jacket every day. We had some foggy days and a little rain but also plenty of sunny (yet chilly) days too. Here?s just a sampling of what I saw on my travels through Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
On arrival I stayed with some friends who live an hour outside Copenhagen on my first night so I was able to see some of the countryside of Denmark. So lovely! I also spent two full days in Copenhagen and was so charmed by it. One can?t visit without a stop to the iconic Nyhavn where you?ll spy colorful homes along the canals, an abundance of cafes and pubs, and it?s here you can catch a canal tour.  
 
 
 
Copenhagen is a very walkable city and possesses the charm of other European cities with its cafes, fountains, copper spires, and architecture. I walked around the city about 5-6 miles a day ducking down so many streets and past landmarks.
 
 
 
I stopped in a few churches as well and walked to the Church of our Savior to climb up the spire. While in Copenhagen don?t miss a stroll around Tivoli Gardens. There?s a really beautiful hotel there too, I was smitten with the interiors and floral arrangements in the Nimb Hotel, and especially the elegant bar.
 
 
 
One thing you can?t escape...
