FAQ

1. Why is Scandinavia so expensive and how do I keep costs down?

It’s expensive because of high wages & strong social systems, but you can survive without sacrificing your first-born by:

  • eating from supermarkets (Rema 1000, Coop, ICA, Føtex),
  • using hostel kitchens,
  • buying alcohol from duty-free,
  • choosing overnight buses/trains instead of flights.

Street food and bakery lunches are lifesavers.

2. Can I see the Northern Lights anywhere in Scandinavia?

Not everywhere — only Northern Norway, Northern Sweden, and Finnish Lapland.
Copenhagen & Stockholm? Too far south.
Best months: Sept–March, with the darkest winter nights giving the strongest displays.

3. Is it easy to travel between the Scandinavian countries?

Very.

  • Trains link Copenhagen ↔ Gothenburg ↔ Oslo
  • Cheap flights connect all major cities
  • Ferries run between Norway–Denmark, Sweden–Finland, and the Baltics

It’s one of the easiest multi-country trips in Europe.

4. Are saunas actually a big thing or just a stereotype?
They are practically a religion — especially in Sweden and Finland.
Most hostels/hotels have them, locals go naked (not sexual), and sauna culture is about:
heat → cold plunge → repeat → feel reborn.
Don’t be weird about nudity; people genuinely don’t care.
5. What should I expect from nightlife in Scandinavia?

Fun but pricey.
Most locals pre-drink heavily at home and only go out late because a single cocktail can cost as much as a hostel night.
Cities with great nightlife:

  • Copenhagen (techno, dive bars, breweries)
  • Stockholm (stylish clubs, rooftops)
  • Oslo (hip bars, live music)
6. How important is sustainability in Scandinavia?

Very.
Recycling, public transport, clean energy, and eco-friendly tourism are taken seriously.
Travellers are expected to:

  • sort recycling correctly,
  • avoid littering (instant social side-eye),
  • respect nature trails and wildlife.

It’s a cultural norm, not a trend.
