Scandinavia in October?

I don’t really like to travel in high season, but is Scandinavia in general still worthwhile in autumn (early October)?

Our first trip to Denmark, Norway and Iceland was mid-late October and we absolutely loved it!

Love the area but the short days at that time of year would really bug me. There's no shortage of things to do indoors in the cities, but daylight is important to me.

If you plan scenic excursions like Norway in a Nutshell or the overnight ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki, check the timing carefully to be sure you will actually be able to see the scenery.
