Reykjavik, Iceland — 2 nights

There's still lots to do: surround yourself with nature on Dogsledding Iceland, pause for some serene contemplation at Hallgrimskirkja, enjoy the sand and surf at Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach, and explore the activities along Lake Tjornin.

Sweden travel guide

4.2
Mother Svea
Once the land of the Vikings, Sweden today combines a long and fascinating history with a propensity for the very modern. The grand Romanesque churches that dot the countryside contrast with the clean, simple lines and partiality for organization the country is known for. With its reverence for the shy, reserved, and considerate, the nation exudes a sensation of being comfortable. Peek into the quiet lives from afar, gather around traditional "fika" coffee with loved ones, or dine on meatballs, herring, and potatoes. Immerse yourself in nature among the forests and trails so respected by their citizens, and take in the latest design and cultural offerings in this modest yet aesthetically savvy country.
