Quick question for the Scandinavia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Quality in Scandinavia — trending up or down?

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
