what do you want to do anon

> Iceland
globally unique nature, the accessible sites are fucking ruined by normies and there are a few tourist traps you should avoid. but go anywhere that needs a dirt road and a short hike and it's dead quiet and wonderful

> Faroes
appeal here is the isolation and rugged nature. complete pain in the arse to access which keeps the tourist numbers down. but really there is only so much to do here

> Norway
The best one if you have coin. Oslo is fuck ugly and the other big cities are a bit dull, but if you go to norway for urban areas you are dumb. same problem as iceland in that the most well known tourist areas are ruined (Lofoten is now unbearable in high summer for instance). but like iceland you can have an astounding time if you put in a little effort.

> Sweden
I'm not the biggest fan of this place. countryside is nice enough but mogged by Norway outside of the far north. Cities supposedly quite good but I don't like going to them for more than a day trip.

> Finland
Swamps or boundless taiga. Worth visiting once if you've never seen those environments. The whole Santa business in Lapland is cringe but it keeps the normies away from everywhere else

> Denmark
Boring farmland or Copenhagen. Copenhagen is actually cool and you can spend a few days here before it gets too much

The best definition of 'Nordic' is the Baltic basin, as well as the island territories to the north. Culturally, it's defined by its remote isolation and harsh conditions, as well as its maritime heritage. Any decent journey should incorporate both.

Some highlights you'd want to hit would be:
>Iceland
>North sea ferry
>Norwegian fjords
>Sweden-Denmark bridge
>Finland-Estonia booze cruise
>House with sauna in Finnish lake region
>Snow shit in the north, northern lights, etc
>Copenhagen and Cristiana (other cities are boring shit)

The bottlenecks are obviously time and money. Imo, Scandi cities aren't worth visiting, and a backpacking route from Oslo to Stockholm to Helsinki would be fucking gay. It's all about the nature.

I reckon picrel would be the optimal journey if you've got the chance
>Iceland
>Ferry to Bergen
>Stop in Faroes to tick it off
>Fjords
>Copenhagen
>Isle of Rugen
>Gdansk and ferry out
>Stockholm
>Archipelago Sea islands, Aland
>Turku
>Lakeland
>Helsinki and ferry out
>Riga

None of this is remotely accurate

Norway and Iceland and Copenhagen seem nice.
Please don't come to Finland t. Finn

What are you into OP? Cus the Nordics are pretty fucking boring and gay if you aren't an /out/ nerd. The Faroe islands seem pretty cool. It seems like they're where iceland was 10-15 years ago

Faroes are in a weird place where they want Iceland's tourist dollars but without the tourists if they can manage it. inevitably the guy with the money will win and he wants revenue more than anything else so it will get ruined eventually.
it's certainly a lot more managed than it was even 10 years ago. if you want to see them go sooner rather than later

I just listened to a report from a guy visiting Finland to attend a wack of hockey games and it sounded pretty great. Saunas, good meals out, some outdoor stuff, and then hockey hockey hockey. Not sure what is so bad about that. Isn't it also marginally cheaper there then in Sweden and Norway?
