Making Travel Arrangements to Sweden & Denmark

NOTE: The recent trend in travel is for travelers to finalize their plans much closer to departure time than was customary in the past. While we try to be as flexible as possible we often must turn away last minute registrants because we relinquish hotel space and air reservations 8 – 12 weeks prior to departure! Please keep this in mind when making your travel plans.

WHAT TO BRING

In August, the northern reaches of Sweden and Denmark will remain relatively cool, with daily temperatures ranging from highs in the upper 60s to evening lows in the mid-to-low 50s. You won’t need a suit jacket or tie, as the tour is informal and dinner attire will be casual, but you will want nice casual outfits for going out and dinners. Try to pack light and bring only one piece of luggage plus your carry-on. Create mix and match outfits, and think about layering! Pack any medications you require in a carry-on bag and leave expensive jewelry at home.

Suggested Packing List:

• Proof of citizenship. Passport required.
• Nice casual wear for dinners.
• Lightweight long pants & long-sleeved shirts for sun protection.
• Socks, underwear for 8 days.
• Sweater or lightweight jacket for cool evenings.
• Personal toiletries, and bug repellant
• Comfortable walking shoes.
• Camera, lots of digital memory, extra batteries.
• Ziploc Bags (sandwich size for documents, gallon size for wet items or toiletries).
• Electrical Adapter. The electricity supply in Sweden and Denmark is 220 volts. However, the plugs needed for each country is slightly different. Sweden uses the Europlug (Type C & F) for electricity, with two round prongs. Denmark uses a two-prong plug typical for continental Europe; however, Denmark strays from the Scandinavian norm, so make sure the adapter you buy is suitable for the deeper outlets in this country. When purchasing an international adapter, you'll want to look for plug types E or K as they have the correct size of two round prongs. Click here to view the adapter for Sweden.

• A good book for your flights and the drives.

MONEY MATTERS

The two countries visited on this tour use a variation on the krone or krona, but they are all different currencies so you will need to withdraw cash from an ATM in each country. Credit cards are accepted in each country and ATMs are widely available. Scandinavian countries are expensive, so budget about $45.00 a day for personal expenses and non-included meals. We will make a collective tip to our guides and drivers throughout the tour as appropriate.

Sweden’s currency is the Swedish krona (SEK). Denmark’s currency is the krone (DKK). Denmark is an EU member nation, but its citizens rejected adopting the euro in a referendum in 2000. The krone is pegged to the euro, so its value relative to other currencies fluctuates with that of its neighbors to the south.

• undaunted by the unexpected, like occasional delays or bad weather;
• willing to forego some of the amenities we normally take for granted;
• eager to try new things & test limits;
• punctual;
• not whiners!
