Any time of year is a good time to visit Scandinavia! Take time to decide which months will allow you to make the most of the sites and activities you want to experience.
December, January, and February: The northern lights are the first thing that make a trip to Scandinavia during winter worthwhile. Other winter activities this time of year include skiing, ice fishing, reindeer safaris, and don’t forget Christmas celebrations!
March, April, and May: Spring is a lovely time to visit this region. The meadows of Scandinavian countries like Denmark and Norway are filled with wildflowers and warm breezes. Don’t miss festivals like Sweden’s Walpurgis Night Bonfire and Finland’s Vappu!
June, July, and August: In Scandinavia, summer weather is likely to be warm and bright, allowing for much more sightseeing and outdoor excursions. The midnight sun is a rare natural phenomenon you can enjoy in Norway, and outdoor celebrations like Midsummer’s Eve take place during this season.
