Taking the train is a wonderful way to experience Scandinavia, allowing you to take in some of Europe’s most stunning landscapes first hand rather than through the clouds. Head first to
Copenhagen,
a city full of weaving bicycles, cutting edge design and culinary artistry, before continuing across the Öresund Bridge to
Malmo, Sweden’s most cosmopolitan city, home of the magnificent
Turning Torso and dour detective
Kurt Wallander.
The delightful architecture and buzzing nightlife of
Stockholm is within easy reach via a futuristic-sounding
X2000 high speed train, or you could head further north to pretty Norwegian capital
Oslo. Perhaps best of all for
train buffs, Scandinavia offers you the chance to climb 1000m above sea level to
Bergen, passing the world’s longest fjord and the dramatic Kjosfossen waterfall on one of the most enthralling
train journeys in the world.
