Things to do in Scandinavia
Blue Lagoon (Iceland)
Visiting Iceland's geysers, most notably the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik. Invitingly warm, the natural, salty geothermal spa is a float-worthy year-round escape replete with black lava rocks and a lava cave.
Castles in Denmark
See how kings and queens once lived at palatial royal homes, which dot Denmark's landscape. Top spots range from the Fredensborg Palace north of Copenhagen, to the Kronbog Castle, perched on a narrow strip of land between Denmark and Sweden.
Danish Royal Gardens (Denmark)
For a bit of tranquility, you won't want to miss these respites, including the popular King's Garden or Rosenborg Castle Gardens, where Renaissance-style grounds lead to Baroque-inspired space with an orangery.
Djurgarden (Sweden)
This Stockholm Island is loaded with fun for the whole family. Hop aboard an old-time tram, and hit the fantasyland of Junibacken, which features a theater and storybook world based on tales by Astrid Lindgren and famed children's authors.
Legoland (Demark)
Build boats, cars, trains and figures at this indoor-outdoor ode to brand-name building blocks in Billund, Demark. Hop aboard a rollercoaster or pirate-themed boat.
Northern Lights (Norway)
Stand in awe of the Aurora Borealis when skies illuminate with magical light. Easiest to spot from September through April between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., there's no better place to see the effect than in Tromso in Norway.
Oslo (Norway)
Walk the stomping grounds of the Norwegian Masters Ibsen, Grieg and Munch. See skiing history at the Holmenkollen Ski Museum and Tower, and the stunning 9th century ships at the Viking Ship Museum.
Stockholm tours (Sweden)
Get acclimated with this sophisticated archipelago on a guided bus, ghost or canal tour. Hop aboard a brunch cruise or set out on an informative Viking exploration.
