    We spent a few weeks pet sitting in a tiny village just outside of Tromsø during Christmas. Scandinavia looks so beautiful in summer, but I highly recommend experiencing the Polar Night there. When it’s light out, the sun doesn’t come above the mountains, and everything is a magical blue colour. Never experienced anything like it!

    The Nordics are a fantastic region, especially when it comes to landscapes - the vast forests and lakes of Finland, the dramatic rock formations of Norway or the lovely waterways of Sweden.
    What I liked most (although I am far from having seen most of the countries) is Korouoma (a national park in Finland), Tromsø with the northernmost botanic garden in the world, Sommarøy (a little island west of Tromsø, which can be reached via the island Kvaløya), Kilpisjärvi (a lake close to the point where Finland, Norway and Sweden meet), Aavasaksa (a mountain a bit south of the Arctic Circle in Finland) and Levy (a village and a mountain within the Arctic circle in Finland), Dalsland (with the towns Ed and Mellerud) in Sweden.
    It's a pity that we couldn't enjoy Senja fully due to bad weather. We would have had to wait for at least a week until it would clear up.

    Awesome shots and I definitely can understand your enthusiasm for these beautiful landscapes. But I need to talk for a moment about the flipside of the coin.
    I also loved exploring Norway and Sweden but there was one reason why I never hiked Trolltunga or other places mentioned in this video - These places are totally overcrowded by tourists who are there in order to capture there own "unique" photo or video of this place (a shot which for sure already exists thousands of times on Instagram, RUclips, etc.).
    Even if I absolutely can recommend visiting these Scandinavian countries I just need to admit that the most beautiful and also a bit more unique way to explore them is by hiking into their nationalparks for some days in a row and experience places like in that video just without these masses of tourists around you who just ride the car the whole time in order to stand on a prebuilt platform and missing so much on the untouched wild country.
    Just respect nature, don't mess around with the animals and don't leave any trash and you will experience Scandinavia in a totally other and at least in my opinion also in a better way than just visiting just the same overcrowded Instagram locations all the time.

      I live here and twatF have a valid point. The best experiences is to be had off the beaten track. Just make sure to have sufficient clothes and equipment for the season you set out in. If you should come across a heard of mini polar bears don't panic. They are just sheep. Totally harmless. Have a safe trip. In the event you find coconuts, you're probably lost and should head further north. It's usually uphill. Be prepared for anything.

    You should visit southern Sweden and Denmark. They are very different to the northern landscapes. The Islands of Gotland, Öland and Bornholm (Danish) are definitely worth a visit!

The costal towns of Österlen are beautiful with some of the most perfect white sandy beaches that look almost tropical.

    Although I see this has been mentioned to no end, I just have to say it. As a norwegian I do not like seeing Denmark being left out in a video about scandinavia. You've also included two non-scandinavian countries. O_O It's a nice video in many ways, but you should probably do a little bit more research on the parts of the world you travel to if you're going to make videos about them.

    While Ireland isn’t in Scandinavia, it’s pretty near by and worth visiting when travelling returns to normal. Quite like Scotland, yet slightly less dramatic inland, it’s even greener and has some amazing cliffs and costal formations to the west. Dublin is beautiful full of old red brick buildings and attractions and towns like Galway are great cultural hotspots. The turbulent history of the north is tragic yet fascinating and with Viking and norman settlements everywhere, it has so much history, great cities and towns and some beautiful countryside.

      Ryan Shirley I’m from Seattle but 2 of my grandparents were born and raised in Sweden in the 1880s. My grandma used to speak of snow skiing in the Laplands in the North part of Sweden as a way of transportation, so as I watched your video I thought of her.

    Really interesting that people here are debating about the definition of scandinavia- while not commenting the actual video, -wich is stunning. I'm from Finland and I learnt in school that we belong to Scandinavia, ask any finn, I believe you get the same answer. So, the debate here is Finland part of scandinavia was a bit surprizing :D ...well, then I laugh and I thought next you probably think we have icebears. Think and believe what you want, peace and love.

    Great video! As you probably noticed the word Foss comes up a lot in the end of words when you travel in Iceland or Scandinavia and it means waterfall. Kirkjufellsfoss is the name of the waterfall nearby, and Kirkjufell (fell or fjall means mountain) is the name of the mountain itself:)

      @@RyanShirley Since you say that you have spent the last few summers exploring Europe's nordic countries, it's a bit sad you didn't ask any locals about this as it is important for them to distinguish Scandinavia from the Nordics. They would happily have cleared up any uncertainties you might have about the difference between Scandinavia and the Nordics.
      If you rely on Wikipedia instead of talking to the locals, check the Danish, Finish, Faroese, Norwegian or Swedish page instead, and maybe you understand the difference between the Nordics and Scandinavia.

    A place I would say is often looked over is Langfossen, epic waterfall, and you can hike up it for an equally epic view. The hike itself isn't even that long, though a bit steep maybe, and about halfway up it you can go right out to the waterfall itself. Would deifnitely recommend that to anyone going near that area, Åkrafjorden.
