The Ultimate Nordic And Benelux Experience!

This is a ground level tour of the 5 Nordic countries - Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland - at their very best, with explorations of other great cities along the way. The outward leg cuts across the middle of northern France, West Flanders and Wallonia in Belgium, Luxembourg and west Germany. It then rises into Scandinavia and Finland, stretching up to as far as Narvik in northern Norway, inside the Arctic Circle, from where it starts to head back down again towards the south.

After heading to Hirtshals, the route zips across the Atlantic Ocean through Scotland's Shetland Islands to Seydisfjordur in east Iceland with a stopover in the Faeroe Islands. It spends an enjoyable trip circling the Icelandic coast to Reykjavík in the west. It then heads back to Seydisfjordur via the south coast, making sure to explore the vast network of geysers. It then hops back on the ferry to cross back to Hirtshals and a final drive down the southwest coast of Denmark.

Exiting Scandinavia at last, the route heads back home to the UK, partly along the North Sea, making time to stop off in Hamburg and Bremen in north Germany, Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Brussels and Bruges in Flanders, Belgium along the way. After these wonderful excursions, it sets about heading to Calais and Coquelles to catch the Eurotunnel back to my home country.
