Yes, the Euro is so expensive at the moment that many travelers opt to stay in their home country. But don't forget about that one place that is now cheaper than ever: Iceland with its beautiful capital Reykjavik. A couple of years back, travelers were able to get just around ISK 60 for 1 US Dollar - now they get around ISK 80, almost 50% more money. Different example: 1 British pound was equivalent to around 125 Icelandic Kroner last year. Now, you can get about 155 Icelandic Crowns!
Now that Iceland is cheaper than ever, skip the trip to the European continent and instead check out Iceland, the current travel secret for anyone wanting a cheaper trip!

Hi Holly,
Thanks for your post and the interesting question. Getting married in Norway is definitely out if you're on a short vacation, due to the required 2-week waiting period there. Not too practical for most travelers.
The good news: Neither Denmark nor Sweden have waiting periods (and you could even consider getting married in Iceland!). In those countries, you can get married over the weekend if you do a little research regarding good (non-busy) dates and reserve an officiant in advance. Here's more on what you'll need to prepare:

All the best,

Being quite an expensive travel destination, Scandinavia also has a few travel secrets. One of those is that you don't have to entirely rely on the best budget travel tips, but that each Scandinavian capital also offers visitors numerous free things to do. They've never been published as a list for travelers' convenience, unfortunately...except on About.com Scandinavia Travel:

So you have a week to spend in this beautiful country? It's not long, but it's doable to create a rich, interesting and enjoyable week in Denmark while seeing all the major sights. It's too bad not everyone can have several weeks of vacation each year!
Denmark offers a lot of things to do, so we've created this guide to show you what you could do with seven days in Denmark, starting and ending in Copenhagen. Read about the full 7-day itinerary here.
