Question Denmark/Norway vs Sweden/Finland for Nordic Trip

[RoamAway99]

Hi there - I’m planning a 2-week trip for my family to the Nordic region in August 2025. We're trying to decide between visiting Denmark and Norway or Sweden and Finland. We have kids, so we're looking for family-friendly activities, beautiful scenery, and cultural experiences. Which combo would you recommend for a memorable first-time trip? Any specific places or experiences we shouldn’t miss?

Both combos offer fantastic experiences, but if your family enjoys outdoor adventures, I'd lean towards Denmark and Norway. Norway's fjords are breathtaking—consider a trip to the Geirangerfjord, and for family fun, the Lofoten Islands have hiking, kayaking, and stunning landscapes. Denmark is great for urban exploration; Copenhagen has Tivoli Gardens, which is perfect for kids! On the other hand, Sweden and Finland have their own charm; Stockholm is kid-friendly with its museums, and Finland's Lapland offers unique experiences like seeing the Northern Lights. Have you thought about what your kids would enjoy more?
