Tips for Your Nordic Journey

Everything you need to know before visiting the Nordic countries.

💳

Card Payments Preferred

Most tourist spots, restaurants, and shops across the Nordics prefer card payments. Have a debit or credit card handy — but carrying some cash is still a good idea for smaller vendors and rural areas.

🌡️

Pack in Layers

Nordic weather changes quickly. Dress in layers and always have a waterproof outer shell, even in summer.

🚆

Public Transport

Trains, buses, and ferries are excellent. The Nordic rail network offers scenic routes that rival any drive.

🗣️

English is Widespread

Nearly everyone speaks English fluently. Learning a few local words is always appreciated though!

☀️

Daylight Varies Wildly

From 24h sun in summer to just a few hours of light in winter. Plan activities around the season and latitude.

💰

Budget Accordingly

The Nordics are among the most expensive regions in Europe. Plan for higher costs on food, transport, and stays.

Nordic-Specific Tips
EU/EEA citizens: bring your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) — it covers public healthcare in all Nordic countries except Iceland (which requires separate cover for non-residents). Non-EU visitors: travel insurance is strongly recommended. Nordic healthcare is excellent but expensive without coverage (ER visit ~€300-600).
