BEST OF SCANDINAVIA
A Journey through DENMARK, SWEDEN & NORWAY
Scandinavia evokes a fairytale image of Little Mermaids, majestic fjords and handsome blonds. North of the Baltic Sea, it is the largest region of Europe, but home to only around 24 million people. Also known as Nordic Countries, Denmark, Sweden & Norway are three of the five countries that make up Scandinavia. Iceland and Finland are the other two. Coda’s popular trip to Northern Europe focuses on the highlights and gives you a thorough taste of three capital cities: Copenhagen, Stockholm & Oslo. But in addition, you will be outside the capitals in Sweden and Norway where the landscape and natural beauty are stunning.
