Scandinavia Travels

Hello All
I have appreciated your help in planning previous trips. This time I am not as sure as to my destinations.
We have a month to travel in June/July, 2025, My original thoughts were to go to Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, and another couple of cities in Norway. Not sure as I have too many I would like to experience. Next to Stockholm, over to Helsinki, and Tallinn.
Then I started thinking about reversing the trip and add Gdansk, Poland, less Norway and add a couple of places in the Baltic States. I read Lonely Planet and just received Rick Steves new Scandinavia Book. We are in our 70,s, will not be driving, and will not be visiting this area again. Thoughts?

How much days / weeks do you have?

What are your interests?

Which means of transport do you want to use? Also rental car?

What other cities in Norway? For a month you should think about how many places you can reasonably visit in that time. Also, don't underestimate the distances involved.

Thank you for the replies. I hope to receive a few more.

Answering the previous questions:
We can travel for a little over 4 weeks. We are not interested in museums. We like to walk and explore the older part of town. Parks are nice to and the well known sites. We enjoy stopping for a drink and people watch.

We are no longer hikers due to back issues.
The other towns in Norway I am considering are Stavanger, Trondhein, and Tromso.
I appreciate thoughts.

I forgot to add that travel will be by plane, train, ferry, and bus. We will not be renting a car.
