I am looking for some guidance on travel to Sweden, Denmark and Norway. If we follow an independent itinerary how easily can we navigate using trains and also driving? Is signage in English? We recently travelled to Prague and Budapest with a tour and I was glad because very little was in English. How do those cities compare to the Scandanavian capitals?

I've traveled all over the Scandinavian/Nordic countries on my own. Its one of the easiest areas to travel if you only speak English. Everyone seemed to speak some English--and some better than me. (LOL)
Not once all through Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and the Faroe Islands did I have to use Google Translate.

It's not hard to navigate Scandinavia on your own. Signs at major railway stations are often in English. And most people speak at least a bit of English.

It is pretty easy to get around without speaking Swedish. If you will be driving, study the Swedish road signs
