Scandinavia is hot, but ice cold

There are many of the coldest destinations in the world in the North of Europe that holidaymakers like to go to to go. We understand why, because Scandinavia is beautiful, even, or maybe even very good in the winter. Popular capitals with freezing temperatures are Reykjavik in Iceland (average temperature: 7 ° C), Helsinki in Finland (average temperature 8 ° C), Oslo in Norway (average temperature 9 ° C) and Stockholm in Sweden (average temperature 10 ° C) C). In the summer, the temperature in these cities is comparable to our Dutch temperature, but it can get quite cold in the winter. Your warm sweater is not an unnecessary luxury in your suitcase. Holidaymaker Dettie spent a few days in Iceland's Reykjavik in hotel Fron and says in a review: 'Hotel Fron is right in the center, it is clean, nicely decorated and the service is top notch. We found it a wonderful hotel where we would definitely book again next time !! Not being able to discover negative things. " Esther was on vacation in Stockholm and stayed at hotel Riddargatan and says: 'Very nice hotel, super friendly and hospitable. Great room, good bed and nice shower. Breakfast buffet very extensive, also gluten-free products available. ' © Offered by Zoover Davos
