Have already been to Aarhus in Denmark, which me and the wife absolutely loved.

Looking to do Scandinavia again in the next month or so, flights even at late notice are very cheap and seen plenty of Airbnb places we'd be happy with.

Wanted to know any tips on which cities people think are best, from Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki etc? Also which areas have good scenery/countryside nearby, for a mix of City and Rural.

Thanks

Went recently to Malmo, nice picturesque city on the sea, just twenty mins across the bridge from Copenhagen. Helsingborgs and Helsingor also nearby . Had a great time, thoroughly recommend it

Had a great long weekend out in Gothenberg last year. Lot's of great cafes, bars and places to hang out at and is easy to get about. Worth doing a boat cruise out to one of the islands too and seeing the seals and other wildlife. Also Liseberg which is a theme park in the city is worth going to if you like rollercoasters.

Go to Sweden and visit Stockholm
Great country, great people, great city.
If it was not for the long,cold,dark winters, I could live there.

Don't worry, I spent most of the time in Denmark last year pointing out to my wife how ridiculously attractive the local Danes were. She didn't even get annoyed, she had to acknowledge it.
