Because of the pandemic, this summer definitely looks a lot different. Originally we had plans to do a tour of Eastern Europe, ending with a week in Italy (which I was sooo excited for). After learning that this probably wouldn’t happen, we revised our travel plans for the summer a few more times before deciding that it was best just to cancel it all and wait to see how everything was when summer started. After canceling all plans to travel abroad, we decided to take a hemester (staycay) here in Sweden and Denmark, and explore parts of the countries we hadn’t had the opportunity to see yet.
In addition to a few day trips around Skåne, this is when we took some time off to go to Stockholm and Gotland. We had originally talked about going to the very north of Sweden too, but those plans quickly changed when Denmark opened its borders again. The only city in Denmark we’ve seen much of is Copenhagen, so we thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to do a more comprehensive tour of our neighboring country.
Our trip lasted 8 days, and included stops in Odense, Billund, Esbjerg, Fanoø, Aarhus, Aalborg, Göteborg, and Stockholm (posts on these to come!). It was so much fun, and I’m so glad we got to see and learn more about the beautiful country of Denmark!
If you want to see what we got up to at our first stop in Odense, keep scrolling!
