When You Should...And Shouldn't Go

Saturday November 7, 2009

Although the winter months can be quite cold in certain parts of Scandinavia, the summer isn't always the best choice. You're paying higher prices, run into crowds, and will miss out on unique natural phenomena like the Northern Lights. But is winter really a better pick? Not so fast.

When you go to Scandinavia should be decided by where exactly you want to go and the type of traveler you are. So let's find out with our new article series of "When to go to ...", which is sorted by country and lets you narrow down the information on the best time for you to visit your destination country:

When to Go to Scandinavia

Fun, Economical, Cheap

Thursday November 5, 2009

If you're thinking about renting a car at your Scandinavian destination, you should know there is a better alternative: Bikes have their own lanes (and lights) and are often faster in Scandinavia's bigger cities!

The capital cites of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are all bicycle-friendly. There is a service called CityBike which offers hundreds (or thousands) of bicycles that can be rented for free or for a small fee.

Since the Scandinavian cities generally don't have any hills, using a bicycle is easy and relaxing.

The weather in Denmark is turning cool and wet. Right now, the average high temperature in Copenhagen is around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Denmark doesn't have a lot of fluctuation between day and night temperatures, but wind gusts and changes in wind direction can quickly change conditions.

I thought I'd share this with my readers, if you want to get a head start on Christmas shopping with a good coupon. Art.com is currently running a promotion with several Art.com coupon codes. So if you're looking to buy something at Art.com - for example, the beautiful photo prints from Scandinavia that they have - use coupon code VINTAGE09 (or ABART64) to get the 20% rebate before it expires.

Before you head on over to www.art.com, know that the coupon codes FRAME40 gives $40 off orders over $160, and FRAME60 gets you a whopping $60 off orders over $200.

All these Art.com coupon codes are valid on the entire inventory, not just on the beautiful Scandinavian art prints. Art.com takes one coupon per customer, exp. 11/2009.
