Travel Tips<\/h4>\n

In Scandinavia, peak season is really the most fun time to visit. It’s festive rather than crowded.<\/p>\n

Daylight Hours: Winter days are long, summer days are very long. Some areas have midnight sun.<\/p>\n

Business hotels are often cheaper in summer<\/p>\n

Closures: During winter, most tourist attractions shut down earlier (or completely). Snow gets disruptive.<\/p>\n

Bright side? Winter is the time to catch the Northern Lights. Monitor forecasts closely.<\/p>\n

Great festivals during Autumn<\/p>\n

Great festivals: Midsummer Festival, Easter, St.Lucia, Christmas markets, Pride Parade and many folk festivals.<\/p>\n

Peak Season vs Low Season – What is the Best Time to Go?<\/h3>\n

It depends what makes your<\/em> ideal holiday.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The off-season travel months are generally the cheapest time to visit any destination. There’s a good chance that hotels and attractions offer discounted prices.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the best month to experience a destination also tends to the busiest, so you have to contend with more crowds and longer queues at attractions. But peak season is the peak for a reason, so there’s many things at their best – such as weather, opening hours, events etc.<\/p>\n

If your calendar is pretty open, then shoulder season is a great time for independent travellers. Between peak season and off season, the ‘shoulder’ months give you the best of both worlds.\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”” i_type=”entypo” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-flight” i_color=”custom” i_size=”lg” color=”custom” css_animation=”bounceIn” add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#002d4e” accent_color=”#ffcb00″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
