Love all the advice from this forum! - We are looking at 2 options for 15 days in Scandinavia and we are trying to figure out if we visit Sweden and eliminate Bergen or Eliminate Sweden and include Bergen. We assume we will not visit Scandinavia in the future. Please help - my husband and I are very divided on this one :)
***Option A:* No Sweden - More time in Norway Mountains**
1) Arrive in Copenhagen
2) Drive to Oslo
3-4) 2 days in Oslo
5) Lillehammer, Gudbrandsal Valley
6) Jotunheimen Country
7-9) Sognejford, Norway in a nutshell
10) Bergen
11) Bergen to Oslo
12) Oslo to Copenagen
13-15) Copenhagen (we have to be in CPH for 3 days - meeting friends)
***Option B* Includes Sweden**
1) Arrive in Copenhagen
2) Drive to Kalmar (visit Vakjo and Glass Country)
3) Kalmar to Stockholm (half of day in Stockholm)
4-5) Stockholm (1 day and a half)
6-7) Oslo
8) Lillehammer, Gudbrandsal Valley
9) Jotunheimen Country
10-12) Sognejford, Norway in a nutshell (3 days)
13-15) Copenhagen
Rick Steves recommends 3 weeks for option A (21 days) but we usually are active and we don't take long breaks so we are able to cover more than what he recommends. Given the long distances in Scandinavia we are not sure this time. I promise to come back and post impressions and help others too.
Thank you so much.
