WHAT DO WE EXPECT IN SCANDINAVIA?
• CULTURE: Copenhagen, Oslo, & Stockholm are Scandinavia’s great capital cities in all ways economic, cultural and political. The governments and royal families are headquartered in the capital cities of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Each city’s commercial center celebrates the best of its national and regional products.

Their theatres showcase the world’s finest drama, opera, classical and pop music. Anchoring it all are the beloved city parks devoted to each country’s passion for lifestyle, history, art, and nature: Tivoli, Copenhagen’s beloved amusement park; Vigeland, Oslo’s remarkable sculpture garden; and Skansen, Stockholm’s living open-air museum.
• LIFESTYLE: Annually ranked at the top of quality of life, happiness, and safety lists, Scandinavia is known for its preference for low-pressure, informal, cozy lifestyles.
