1: The Nordic winter is beautiful, but it's also really cold. It is very windy and can rain and snow. Check the weather before you travel, and wear hats, scarves, and gloves in addition to thick clothing.
2: The Nordic diet is very healthy, pure, and natural, giving people the feeling of eating but not eating. Lots of restaurants, for me light food shops, bakeries, cafes. They don't eat much, they don't eat much oil and water, and the so-called food is different bread with different hams and sauces. I don't know why the Norsemen can grow so tall after eating these things.
3: Although Finland is a Nordic country, it gives me the feeling that it is different from other Nordic countries, and more like an Eastern European country. Asian restaurants can be found everywhere on the streets, and you can find a lot of Asian food in the usual supermarkets, even in small cities.
4: Finns love saunas, and almost every household has a sauna. Finns are also very fond of snow sports, and while others are watching football, Finns are watching cross-country and snowman triathlons. They are really socially phobic, and sometimes acquaintances don't greet each other when they meet, and the reason for asking is that they don't want to disturb each other.
5: The first stop in Norway, I chose Lofoten, located in the northernmost part of Norway, in the fjord of the Arctic Circle, the scenery is unreal, the pink sky, the snow-capped mountains at your fingertips, in the empty and uninhabited nature, I feel extremely small.
6: Oslo, the capital of Norway, is arguably the most boring big city in Northern Europe, and the urban area is not as small as Helsinki. I think there are only three places worth visiting: the National Museum of Norway (the best museum in Norway, with a rich collection and modern facilities), the Munch Art Museum (the largest collection of Edvard Munch's paintings), and the Oslo Opera House (Norway's national opera house, which can be built right next to the beach).
7: The snow scene on Norwegian Street is beautiful, especially the pier, with the ship as the background, covered with snow, if you go to the Munch Art Museum, you can go up to the top floor to overlook the view of the pier.
8: Oslo travel for one day is enough, as a tourist, it is not recommended to stay here for more than two days, there are many interesting places in Norway, Oslo is just a transportation point, not the focus of Norway travel.
9: Some restaurants in Norway need to clean up their own plates, bring them to the designated shelves, and look at the locals or slogans when eating.
10: Sweden's official language is Swedish, but Sweden has a high English penetration rate, and the pronunciation is standard, without a heavy European accent. I feel that 95% of people in Sweden can speak English. Young people are fluent in English, and waiters in restaurants and cafes are not a problem in daily communication. Surprisingly, many old men and women can also converse in English. Many of the traffic signs are bilingual, and the subway station announcements are made in Swedish and English.
11: Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is not too big, but it is extremely quiet and clean, and you can hardly hear the sound of car horns honking on the road. On the road and at traffic lights, cars will slow down or forcibly stop when they see people far away, and they will not leave until you walk past, giving people a sense of detachment and politeness.
12: Old Town Gamla Stan, is the main square of the old town of Sweden, the houses are colorful and beautiful, next to the Nobel Prize Museum.
13: To buy alcohol in Sweden, you have to go to a state-run store, which closes early on weekends and is closed on Sundays. Drink alcohol with a plan in advance.
14: Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, the first impression gives a good feeling, the streets are clean and beautiful, and the city is unique and sophisticated. Danes are still very polite and have a high level of English popularization.
15: There are a few things that struck me in Copenhagen. First of all, this is really a city of bicycles for all, with handsome men and women riding bicycles on the streets, and they are all dressed up simply and beautifully; Secondly, the life of the Nordic people is indeed comfortable and relaxed, because the population is small, you can do everything slowly, and you don't need to queue up; Many companies close at 14:30, and some public institutions only work 3 hours in the morning.
16: Open sandwiches are sandwiches made with brown bread and are one of the national dishes of Denmark with a variety of toppings such as meat, vegetables, cheese, etc. The price in Denmark is still quite high, a pizza is 25 euros, a shot of espresso is 5 euros, and a cappuccino is about 7 euros.
17: Many people yearn for Iceland, with its beautiful aurora and magnificent scenery, and the description of Iceland on the Internet is, "the end of the world" and "the pure land of mankind". It is true that Iceland is beautiful, but the scenery and travel experience are not worth a special flight from China for more than ten hours. There are too many places in the country where the scenery is much more beautiful than Iceland, and the level is considered to be the first line in China, but there is a big gap from the top.
18: The scenery of Iceland is relatively monotonous, the winter is icy and snowy, there is no good food, and there are only a few hours a day to travel. The blue ice cave is very small, and we have a lot of glacier scenery of the same type, and it is even more magnificent and beautiful. There are three famous waterfalls in Iceland, and I feel that any waterfall in the Sichuan ravine is bigger and more beautiful.
