Copenhagen is definitely worth a visit, you can take the Ostersund tunnel to Malmo for the experience, or save some money and go up to Helsinor, see Hamlet's castle, and then take a cheap ferry over to Sweden. From Gothenburg if you're tired you can take a ferry directly to Germany, but maybe consider taking a ferry to the north of theantyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567309109757565293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16421782.post-43755094551009336292015-04-21T13:50:11.102+03:002015-04-21T13:50:11.102+03:00Hello Andrei

You'll be constantly in traffic, though rarely held up by it, as far north as the Oulu/Kemi/Rovaniemi line. Beyond that, traffic is not a problem - the population density drops sharply, and antyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567309109757565293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16421782.post-66228047474280897622013-08-28T19:29:56.922+03:002013-08-28T19:29:56.922+03:00Nicely written piece, thanks very much.
