Scandinavia 7-day itinerary recommendation

Planning my first trip to Scandinavia and wanted the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Safety concerns
4. Quality compared to the Philippines?

Any recent reports appreciated. Thanks.

Just booked flights after reading this. Thanks!

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget.

+1 on this. Exactly my experience too.
