11 days from $9999
In September of 2018 we visited Norway and Stockholm to plan Zoom Vacations’ tour to the area. We initially thought that Norway would have much to offer our travelers in terms of scenery and natural beauty. But we were wrong-- the region we visiting in Norway is actually more stunningly beautiful and majestic than we ever could have imagined.
What really blew us away was the incredible cuisine, accommodations, and soft adventure; all included as part of this tour.
Norway is so pristine that you likely will not see one piece of litter your entire time there. It is not just natural beauty and soft adventure that will get you excited about Norway. There is even incredible fashion.
While Norway is a spectacular destination by itself, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to include two of our favorite cities in Europe, since they are so close: Stockholm and Copenhagen. The experiences are completely different, and add the necessary components to make this a truly well-rounded tour of Scandinavia.
Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. There is so much to see and do. Simply put, Stockholm is FUN. The ABBA Museum, for instance, is everything you want it to be, and more. The city enjoys a huge nightlife scene, a vibrant gay community and an Old Town section that is incredibly charming, full of narrow winding cobblestone streets, cute cafes, and interesting shops. Regarding cuisine, one could honestly eat at a different great restaurant every day for a year and have 365 fantastic meals.
Copenhagen, beautiful in its own right, is one of the happiest cities on earth. In addition to being one of the happiest, Copenhagen was recently recognized by Monocle’s Livable Cities Index as ’The Most Livable City’ 2021. It is easy to see why this city of equality, diversity and love was the location for World Gay Pride 2021. Denmark has long been a bastion of acceptance, and in 1989 became the first country in the world to legally recognize same-sex couples.

“Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere. When you feel that you’ve found it, my advice is to take good care. Never use it as a selfish tool. Never ever be such a fool. Every feeling you’re showing is a boomerang you’re throwing.”
