11 days in Sweden

Hello,

we're coming to Sweden for 10 days end of June. As time is short, we would like to limit travel time, so I though about canoe in the archipelago for 3 days, 3 days biking at Gotland and 3 days something else in East-Sweden.

• I just read that a political week will be at Gotland the 1st July and no more bikes are to rent for this week (I guess hotels and so will also be gone?). So we would like to go 3 days earlier. Good idea? Possible?

• Any tips for canoe in the archipelago?

• Any tips for visits in East-Sweden (nature, villages, ...)

10 day full circle self drive tour

Hello,

My husband and I plan to take a trip to Iceland at the beginning of July 2014. We were considering the Nordic visitor 10 day full circle self drive tour. We are looking for another couple that is interested in doing this tour or a similar one who would like to travel with us. We are in our late 20s from the Chicagoland area and love to travel and explore.

Aarhus to Copenhagen

I am trying to figure out my options for getting from Aarhus to Copenhagen. I will travel in mid-September 2013. My questions:

When will the train schedule become available - I was unable to find train information.

Is Valby Station in Copenhagen or outside Copenhagen?

Other than cost differences, is flying a good option?

If I take the train do I have to make a reservation in advance?

If I take the bus do I have to make a reservation in advance?

If I take the bus do I have to transfer to another bus and if so where?

Any info/advice will be appreciated.

Thanx,

Kim

Prettiest campgrounds in Iceland

iceland bus pass

Hello,

Has anyone had experience of using the bus pass for traveling around Iceland?

I plan to do the ring road over a two week period in June (10-23). A number of operators seem to do a full circle pass and have their own timetables and prices. A site called Iceland on you Own (IOYO) offers a full circle pass for 38000ISK, but there is also Reykjavik Excursions and Sterna offering the same pass at slightly different passes. Do these companies all work together or, does it mean that if i purchased from one operator, that I could only go on their coaches and stick to that particular timetable?

Its all very confusing! Any advice or info. would be much appreciated :-)

One week in Finland - cities?

Hi all,

My boyfriend and I have about one week in Finland in August and as such can't see everything we'd like to. He's a design student, I like history/culture/languages, and we both like nature (but don't want to camp).

Regarding big cities: Turku, Tampere and Helsinki. Assuming we go to one, is it worth going to more than one (given the time restriction, and that we want to see something other than cities)? Which one is best for a compact "Finland" experience?

We'd also like to get out into nature (Lakeland if possible), and which part of the country we see for that will depend on which city we go to. We'll be coming from Stockholm and returning to Copenhagen.

Thanks!

A few queries I have...we intend on arriving with very little gear...Would it be possible to rent a bike in Copenhagen and to drop it off in Oslo.Do rent companies allow for this?? Has anyone any alternative advice if that is normally not allowed.
Whats the weather like in these countries around mid September>> Has anyone any reccomendations on villages to stay in whilst cycling up the coast or on things to do in eac... more »

Walking to a Glacier in the Lyngen Alps

Which glacier is most accessible to a hiker in the Lyngen Alps ? I've been reading about Furaflaten to Sydbreen but not sure how long it takes (and is camping possible once there) ?

Or are there any others that are accessible just by hiking (not planning to glacier walk though, shame, can't afford a tour on one).
