Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in Nordic / Scandinavia

You'll photograph Stockholm's medieval Gamla Stan streets and the 18 million gilded mosaic tiles of the Golden Hall during this 15-day photography trip. The 1158 Lom stave church, Geirangerfjord's Seven Sisters waterfall from a cruise, and Bergen's colorful Bryggen wharf all make great shots. Hans Odoo, a local storyteller, joins you at Uppsala's Carl Linnaeus Garden for intimate cultural portraits.

Photograph the aromatic stalls of smoked reindeer and licorice at Helsinki's Old Market Hall, then capture Gustav Vigeland's striking sculptures at Oslo's Frogner Park. Shoot the gilded 18-million-tile Golden Hall inside Stockholm's City Hall, walk the medieval cobblestones of Gamla Stan's Old Town.

Photograph Kirkjufell mountain with its distinctive shape and get shots of Gullfoss waterfall as it drops into the Hvítá river canyon below. At Seljalandsfoss you'll frame the falls from behind the water, and Strokkur geyser shoots water about 30 meters up every few minutes at Geysir.

Photograph puffins and eider ducks at coastal nesting cliffs in Borgarfjörður eystri, then capture the cascading Gufufoss waterfall and the grass-covered Lindarbakki turfhouse. You'll document Icelandic horse farm life and fjord landscapes during a scenic drive to Seyðisfjörður with golden hour shooting.

Watch Strokkur Geysir shoot water into the air at the Golden Circle and photograph the massive Skogafoss Waterfall with its double rainbows in the mist. Cycle through volcanic landscapes on the Westman Islands where puffins nest on sea cliffs above Heimaey village. Wander through the narrow moss-covered walls of Nauthusagil Canyon and photograph the rugged volcanic sea stacks at Dyrholaey's black sand beach.

Photograph the UNESCO-listed wooden church town of Gammelstad with its red cottages and medieval stone structures set against snow-covered Lapland. In Helsinki, capture the neoclassical cathedral and golden-domed Uspenski Cathedral during a walking tour. Sleep in glass-roof igloos near Rovaniemi for clear shots.
