So, to help you make the most of your vacation, here is my ultimate 10-day Scandinavia itinerary.

Days 1-2

Consider guided tours of either Christiansborg Palace or Rosenborg Castle. It will be enough to keep you engaged for a couple of hours.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark

Head off to Tivoli Gardens as this oldest amusement park and pleasure garden in the country is a must for your Scandinavia itinerary.

Day 3

There are several hiking trails around Stavanger, but the most popular and doable of all is the Pulpit Rock hike (Preikestolen).

Stavanger

Stavanger, Norway

Carry enough water and snacks. Wear hiking boots as the steps are steep. You can even consider booking a guide to hike with a small group.

Day 4-5

You can do a quick tour of Bergenhus Fortress and then walk around Bryggen, where traditional wooden buildings stand tall along the water.

Bergen

Bergen & Floyen

Take the Fløibanen funicular to reach the top of Mount Fløyen, or you can hike to the top if you’re in really good shape!
