After considering your posts and researching on the internet, we have come up with this potential itinerary. How does this sound?

1. Fly from Charlotte to Oslo. Spend one night in Oslo.

2. Take train to Bergen. Spend two nights in Bergen, including a half-day fjord tour on the White Lady boat.

3. Fly from Bergen to Stockholm. Spend three nights in Stockholm.

4. Drive from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Spend three night in Copenhagen and then fly back to Charlotte.

This looks doable to me, but I would love the input of some of you who know and/or live in Scandinavia. Thanks.

I am so glad we came upon this forum. We are planning a 10-12 day trip to Scandinavia in June, too. We would like to see 'the best' of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, without packing in so much that we can't sit and enjoy the cities and the scenery.

We like to drive so we can be in control of where and when we go. When driving, you can stray off the road to see a village, etc.

From what I have learned so far, it appears Oslo is to be avoidec, but that Copenhagen (my mother was Danish) and Stockholm (other relatives are Swedish) are spectacular.

It is wonderful to have people on this site who know the countries--and I have some questions I hope you can help us with:

Is there a spectacular part of Norway near or south of Oslo?

Is there a train from Bergen to Stockholm?

Is it realistic to drive from Copenhagen to Bergen?

Are there day trips from Stockholm that are easy to arrange?

Thanks in advance. And if anyone would like to contact me directly, please feel free to do so at lsteele@carolina.rr.com.
