Local Living Tours & Trips in Nordic / Scandinavia

Spend time at Copenhagen's Nyhavn terraces where locals hang out, then check out Turku's Swedish-influenced buildings and Naantali's wooden houses by the sea. You'll travel overnight by ferry between Stockholm and Turku in double en-suite cabins, and in Helsinki you can browse the old market and visit UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna Islands fortress.

Try smoked reindeer and licorice at Helsinki's traditional food market, then have dinner with multi-award-winning Norwegian athlete Isabelle Sandstedt Pedersen in Oslo. Check out sustainable Cofoco Group cuisine in Copenhagen supporting UN Goals 7 and 12, cruise private waterways with a local captain, and see ABBA The Museum or the Spirit Museum in Stockholm.

Hans Odoo meets you at Uppsala's Carl Linnaeus Garden to talk about Sweden's first botanical garden with 1,300 species, and you'll try Swedish Fika at family-run Grännaberget cafe with pastries made from local ingredients. Finnegarden Farm in Voss shows you traditional cider-making from glacial soil, and farm-to-table dining in Falun uses fresh ingredients from the region during this 15-day trip.

Cycle through Copenhagen like locals who've used bikes since the 1880s, checking out independent shops along Stroget. Stay in city-center 3-4 star hotels near Oslo's Karl Johan's Street cafés and Stockholm's Drottninggatan, where you'll find authentic design shops and traditional Swedish fika culture.
