Scandinavia is the purest lakes and transparent air
Statistics show that for most people planning their vacation, the first picture in their head is a gentle sea, golden sand, palm trees, warm breeze and chocolate tan. They rush to the store for swimsuits and creams, without even thinking that there are hundreds of other options to make their vacation unforgettable besides buying last-minute tours to Turkey or Egypt.
We are familiar with many famous expressions – "Swedish family", "Norwegian fjords", "Danish prince"... But what else do we know about Scandinavia?

We will give you some fascinating facts about Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, which will prove that a trip to these countries is in no way inferior to spending time in hot countries!
It is no secret that for many men the most beautiful girls in the world are blondes. But did you know that the birthplace of fair-haired beauties is the Scandinavian Peninsula? It was from here that the "export" of these beautiful girls first began!

Scandinavian states are countries with the highest standard of living. Immediately a picture comes to mind: people dressed in the most expensive brands, driving luxury cars, living in penthouses, flashing iPhones and showing off. However, this opinion is wrong: the high standard of living lies in the purity of the air and the transparency of the water in the lakes, and excessive showing off in these countries is considered indecent and ridiculous. Scandinavians are modest people, living in small wooden houses and cycling around cities.
Not everyone knows that Sweden is one of the most musical countries in the world – it was here that many world-famous groups were born, such as Army of Lovers, Vacuum, Ace of base, ABBA... The list can go on for a very long time. The reason for such musical prevalence has also been clarified – unlike other countries, where in the mid-20th century they tried in every way to resist the formation of pop groups, in Sweden they supported young talents in every way, generously funded music schools, created clubs to unlock the potential of aspiring singers.
But the most valuable asset of Norway is the ancient Norwegian fjords, formed thousands of years ago. They stretch across the entire country for tens and hundreds of kilometers, they are all diverse and each of them is unique in its own way.
