- Scandinavia has to be one of my favorite regions in the world. I've spent the last few years exploring Europe's Nordic countries and I want to show you my favorite places to visit. From the fjords of Norway, to the Northern Lights in Sweden, Scandinavia offers so much variety and history! There's just something magical about the Nordic and I hope everyone can experience them :)

"Sometimes you don't need to fall asleep to dream" Ryan Shirley.
One of the few things I have heard on youtube that will be forever etched in my memory.
really? a quote he found on the internet and then said in a very poor way changed ur life? get help.
We spent a few weeks pet sitting in a tiny village just outside of Tromsø during Christmas. Scandinavia looks so beautiful in summer, but I highly recommend experiencing the Polar Night there. When it’s light out, the sun doesn’t come above the mountains, and everything is a magical blue colour. Never experienced anything like it!
Beyond Your Doorstep i can’t even imagine how that was! Did you see the northern lights while you were there?
@@RyanShirley If the sky is clear then Tromsø is one of the best places to see the northern lights from late September to late March. If you don't like to be in the dark for the whole day then visit for a few days in February.
The blue hour is such a magical time

Uhm... Scandinavia is Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The nordics include Finland and Iceland
omvärlden inbegrips ibland hela Norden i namn som engelskans något diffusa Scandinavia eller motsvarande på andra språk.[1][2] På engelska har begreppet the Nordic Countries inte fått något större genomslag, och engelskspråkiga historiker, statsvetare och andra forskare har inkluderat Finland i Scandinavia eftersom Finland har en mycket lång gemensam historia med Sverige. / Wikipedia

Scandinavia is Iceland too , but not Finland, it is a territorium of speech
Da Da no it is not. Just search for scandinavia and you will find out
Lapland is not only Northern Finland its northern Norway and Northern Sweden as well.
You can't say Lapp in Sweden. It's considered racist.
@@KajDalfall I didn't say that ,you did. I said Lapland
My grandma and grandpa were born in Sweden in the late 1880s. She used to often talk about skiing in Lapland. I love to see these beautiful countries.
I dont think so
In Norway we call it Finmark
Honestly a little sad you didn't visit Denmark as Scandinavia is only made up of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Great video though, makes me proud to be Scandinavian :)
I'm regretting not sharing more on Denmark! I'll have to do a part 2. What part of Scandinavia are you from?
Exactly! Although Finland and Iceland is fantastic countries, they are not a part of Scandinavia...surprised so many people are not aware.
Anyway. Good video of fantastic places!
Must be so hard to distinguish Nordic from Scandinavian countries, and besides Its not important we are all the same.
@@Cedisdead It is though, since Scandinavia is referring to a geographical area, it is almost like saying Asia instead of southeast Asia, eastern Europe instead of the baltics or central America instead of the Caribbean.
@@BlonkDaSponk yeah I know but just mean noone will correct you from saying Nordic instead of Scandinavia in Sweden at least.
Sorry, but I have to tell you that Scandinavia consists of Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Iceland and Finland are not Scandinavian.
According to Wikipedia: _In English usage, Scandinavia also sometimes refers more narrowly to the Scandinavian Peninsula, or more broadly so as to include the Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Finland and Iceland._
@@HolgerJakobs Sorry again, but that is not correct. Scandinavia consists of Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Add Finland and Iceland to those three countries and you have the Nordic countries.
@@HolgerJakobs Do you copy and paste the same answer into all comments? I can bet you I've read the same comment from you three times now...
Scandinavia = Norway + Sweden + Denmark
No matter how much is written anywhere or how much certain people consider other countries to be a part of the region, it was, is and will be incorrect.
@@awaeraas Not all, just a few, because this information was lacking in several which were almost identical. Identical statements require identical answers.
@@HolgerJakobs That I can understand, but what I have more difficulty understanding is why you have not done more research on this topic, before "hitting the commentsection with the hammer". Hammer beeing an erroneous wikipedia page. Just to be clear, I am not trying to be a prick, but very often when someone links to or refers to wiki, many of the comment-readers will just surrender their doubt and then store that information as facts...making even more people confused about what is what.
I read your other comment and will make an effort to have that pages information corrected.
It's not a "the end of the world" issue, but it should be correct :-)
Scandinavia is indeed scenic and beautiful during Summer. The flora and fauna is amazing and the way local respect nature is unremarkable. Love you aerial clips, anyway. Thanks for this.
I really appreciate your videos. You are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do. You're showing us the rest of the world that we have yet to see. You are an essential service. Thanks again. You truly have a significant purpose.
Living in Scandinavia i just found out that i have so many places i have to visit - I enjoy watching your videos and your channel - Thanks from Denmark 🙏

Great footage! I've always wanted to explore the forests of Finland and visit Norway so now I'm even more inspired to follow this dream!
Ah the forests of Finland sound so magical! It’s hard to beat the beauty of Scandinavia
Ryan Shirley But Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The correct term would have been Nordic.
some nights, you don’t need to sleep to start dreaming - this quote of yours hit me on a whole new level! a spiritual one!
I am obsessed with great drone videos and I watch them on my iPad and my 55” TV. Your videos are the best. Great narration, titles onscreen, dramatic shots, concise without being too limited on good info. The hard work you do in editing is quite apparent, and results in a fantastic presentation that leaves no one yawning and waiting for the good parts. It’s all good. Absolutely amazing work. Keep it up.

The Nordics are a fantastic region, especially when it comes to landscapes - the vast forests and lakes of Finland, the dramatic rock formations of Norway or the lovely waterways of Sweden.
What I liked most (although I am far from having seen most of the countries) is Korouoma (a national park in Finland), Tromsø with the northernmost botanic garden in the world, Sommarøy (a little island west of Tromsø, which can be reached via the island Kvaløya), Kilpisjärvi (a lake close to the point where Finland, Norway and Sweden meet), Aavasaksa (a mountain a bit south of the Arctic Circle in Finland) and Levy (a village and a mountain within the Arctic circle in Finland), Dalsland (with the towns Ed and Mellerud) in Sweden.
It's a pity that we couldn't enjoy Senja fully due to bad weather. We would have had to wait for at least a week until it would clear up.

Ive been in Lofoten last week,And going back next year for hiking.thank you for sharing this Video.
That’s awesome you went to Lofoten! Where was your favorite place?
Can you suggest some good b&b, cab/taxi companies in lofoten/bergen. I am visiting from India in november hoping to see the northern lights and it will be very helpful.
Thank you
That was an awesome view. A wonderful capture of the beautiful scenery. Always the best view from the Top. Have a great day my friend. 🌟
Thanks so much for your kind words! All the best :)
This was great to watch. Time flew by cuz it was so interesting. Thank you!
Of course! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Where are you from?
Ryan Shirley I’m from Seattle but 2 of my grandparents were born and raised in Sweden in the 1880s. My grandma used to speak of snow skiing in the Laplands in the North part of Sweden as a way of transportation, so as I watched your video I thought of her.
I'm so glad you included Senja. My family is originally from there, and i really wanna move there. My last name is even the same as a small settlement where my grandfather is from. Really underrated place, and i really recommend visiting it.
Wow, that’s super cool! Do you live in Norway currently?
Great content. Maybe I will visit Norway next year
You totally should! It’s hard to beat Fjords and the northern lights!
love your videos a lot and these places go straight to my bucket list, so beautiful
Thanks Alan!! I hope you can visit them :)
Visiting Iceland was amazing - I haven’t been to the other Skandinavien countries - but now I so so want to go 😍😍 this video is amazing- you really have the best drone shots I’ve ever seen 👍🏻
Iceland isn't a scandinavian country. The name of that concept is the nordic countries.
Be smart, visit western Norway :)
you're so lucky to visit those places
Nice video, But a little harsh on Denmark, They have such beautiful places to see, especially when you included finland the non scandi country
Ah I feel bad I left out Denmark! I’ll add it to part 2
@@RyanShirley I was hoping you would talk about something else then Stockholm. Sweden have such a variety of environments and just talk about Stockholm is boring and done before on yt. If you travel along the country you will discover mountains like norway, forest like Finland and fields like Danmark. I am also dissepointed that you didn't even mention Gotland. I'll subscribe to you and wait for part 2 🙂

@@RyanShirley I'd love to see what you can do with your drone here. You'd love Milford sound, it's eerie and mind blowing, mount Cook and wanaka in the south. Look forward to seeing more creations, stay well.
this is probably to most beautiful video ive ever seen
Really appreciate it man! Where are you from?
Sick video❤️ I live in Norway and have a cabin near Preikestolen, so I’ve been there often. It’s truley awesome.

Can you suggest some good b&b, cab/taxi companies, northern lights tour companies in Tromso/lofoten. I am visiting from India in november hoping to see the northern lights and it will be very helpful.
Thank you
Great Video Ryan. Brings back good memories and also adds a couple of destinations to my "To Visit" list.
Thanks Gerard! That makes me super happy to hear! It’s hard to beat Scandinavia
one of the most inspiring video I've seen, Thank for sharing
Thanks Dac!! That means a lot, where are you from?
Ryan Shirley Viet Nam. Always welcome you to come and explore. Recommendation: Son Doong cave
Dude, awesome video man. I'm definitely tempted by the Faroe Islands and Norway. Did you spend much money in Norway and Iceland? Is that a Mavic 2 Pro drone you have as well footage is sick?
As a Norwegian i can tell you its expensive here, but again its not as expensive as some people will have you belive. You can easely find some pretty cheap housing aswell as buying groceries at the store instead of eating out for example.
I should say Denmark and Sweden always underrated in this list. Sweden have Österlen, Halland, Gotland, Abisko, Höga kusten, Västkusten, Sarek. Much of White sand beach around whole Swedish Coast. Sweden also have Northern Light and Midnight sun. Vänern and Vättern many big lakes also.
Love your channel jeep it coming.
I have only been to Iceland and I was so mesmerised by the beautiful landscapes!

My favourite place in Scandinavia? My couch! 😁
Not a bad place to be :)
As a dane I am not surprised that Denmark didn't make the list since northern scandinavia is amazing. However we do have beautiful beaches (for instance in northwest zealand). And don't miss Møns Klint if you make it here!
Thanks Maiken! I feel bad I didn’t include Denmark but I’ll make a part 2 and include it :)
@@RyanShirley Skagen is amazing
Skagen I’m from Norway and we travel there sometimes with the boat that goes from Norway to Denmark. Denmark big flat tho, but I like Copenhagen tho more than I do Oslo where I live
nice beaches near gedesby. a visit to mons klint was excellent.
Bornholm worth a visit

It’s such a wonderful region :)
@@RyanShirley U are such a good person too :)
I love your videos, greetings from South Beach, Fl
Great vid Ryan!
Thanks Tim!! Hope all is well
Fantastic footages! But remember that many thourists are being rescued down from the mountains every year. These operations are expensive and dangerous. If you do not know how to prepare a hard and steep hike in rough nature, the mountains in Norway is not for you!
True! A lot of tourists come underprepared to go hiking or skiing. Lives are lost to this, which is awful and unnecessary.
Awesome shots and I definitely can understand your enthusiasm for these beautiful landscapes. But I need to talk for a moment about the flipside of the coin.
I also loved exploring Norway and Sweden but there was one reason why I never hiked Trolltunga or other places mentioned in this video - These places are totally overcrowded by tourists who are there in order to capture there own "unique" photo or video of this place (a shot which for sure already exists thousands of times on Instagram, UA-cam, etc.).
Even if I absolutely can recommend visiting these Scandinavian countries I just need to admit that the most beautiful and also a bit more unique way to explore them is by hiking into their nationalparks for some days in a row and experience places like in that video just without these masses of tourists around you who just ride the car the whole time in order to stand on a prebuilt platform and missing so much on the untouched wild country.
Just respect nature, don't mess around with the animals and don't leave any trash and you will experience Scandinavia in a totally other and at least in my opinion also in a better way than just visiting just the same overcrowded Instagram locations all the time.
I live here and twatF have a valid point. The best experiences is to be had off the beaten track. Just make sure to have sufficient clothes and equipment for the season you set out in. If you should come across a heard of mini polar bears don't panic. They are just sheep. Totally harmless. Have a safe trip. In the event you find coconuts, you're probably lost and should head further north. It's usually uphill. Be prepared for anything.

As a Dane i fell left out. There is some great locations in Denmark as well. Still a beatifull video❤️
I regret not talking more about Denmark! I just really haven’t been there. But I’ll have to make a part 2 :)
Denmark is really boring, been there many times
I was surprised by the beautiful beaches in Denmark
@@stianrenrotnebo2808 If it´s so boring, why do you keep going back..?

Although I see this has been mentioned to no end, I just have to say it. As a norwegian I do not like seeing Denmark being left out in a video about scandinavia. You've also included two non-scandinavian countries. O_O It's a nice video in many ways, but you should probably do a little bit more research on the parts of the world you travel to if you're going to make videos about them. It's especially jarring when the rest of your video is so great!
Thanks Lucy! I regret not including Denmark! I’ll have to make a part 2 :)

Great video! However visit Helsinki in the summer instead of christmas. Helsinki really is a summer city with great outdoor life, food and festivals during the summer.
I thought all the summer festivals were canceled?
Going to Finland and missing Turku and the archipelago?
Helsinki (apart from some distinct blocks) is positively one of the ugliest capitals I have ever seen, if not the ugliest (and I am a Finn) - if you want to see beautiful parts of Finland, I suggest the west coast and archipelago, the lake region in Carelia/Savo, and Lapland.

Amazing videos. We went to Norway last year. Feels so weird right now because I am not even allowed to travel more than 5 km from my house. My favourite spots were Geirangerfjord and the Trollstiggen. Eidfjord was also very peaceful.

You should visit southern Sweden and Denmark. They are very different to the northern landscapes. The Islands of Gotland, Öland and Bornholm (Danish) are definitely worth a visit!

As a Scandinavian, I love this video. We really do have a lot of gorgeous nature 🌟
I’m so jealous you live in Scandinavia! What part are you from?
Ryan Shirley I’m Norwegian, but I currently live in Denmark!🌟
Sweden maybe hasn't got those magnificent mountains as Norway and Iceland, instead, we're known for our coastlines. For example, you should visit Höga kusten (the high coast outside of Härnösand), Stockholm's archipelago (yeah, I know Stockholm city is made up by islands but we Swedes don't really consider it to be the archipelago, we mean the thousands of islands you can visit outside of it), Österlen (known for amazing beaches and it's apple must farms) and of course västkusten (the west coast with small fishing villages like Smögen and Lysekil).
Wow, I didn’t know any of those places besides of Stockholm, I really want to visit them now! What part of Sweden you from?
@@RyanShirley Please do! They're magnificent :) I'm from the small coastal town of Nyköping about an hour south of Stockholm and if you're ever in that area you should go to the nature reserve of Stendörren (it's made up of islands with footbridges between them) :)
Don´t forget about Rapadalen! One of Swedens most beautiful places.
Gotland keeps on being forgotten
glöm inte Gotland!
While Ireland isn’t in Scandinavia, it’s pretty near by and worth visiting when travelling returns to normal. Quite like Scotland, yet slightly less dramatic inland, it’s even greener and has some amazing cliffs and costal formations to the west. Dublin is beautiful full of old red brick buildings and attractions and towns like Galway are great cultural hotspots. The turbulent history of the north is tragic yet fascinating and with Viking and norman settlements everywhere, it has so much history, great cities and towns and some beautiful countryside.
Wow, you’re making me want to go there! I’d love to witness Ireland!! Are you from there?
Yup! So I may be just a small bit biased

...and it's still not correct :-)
@@RyanShirley Sounds like they mixed it up with the Nordics. :)
@@RyanShirley Since you say that you have spent the last few summers exploring Europe's nordic countries, it's a bit sad you didn't ask any locals about this as it is important for them to distinguish Scandinavia from the Nordics. They would happily have cleared up any uncertainties you might have about the difference between Scandinavia and the Nordics.
If you rely on Wikipedia instead of talking to the locals, check the Danish, Finish, Faroese, Norwegian or Swedish page instead, and maybe you understand the difference between the Nordics and Scandinavia.
And wikipedia is so accurate.....
I think everything you talked about was amazing. One thing in Sweden i would like to give more attention to is "Sarek national park". More wilderness than that you don't get in Europe. You can hike for days, weeks even without seeing anyone else. Google "rapa valley". Most beautiful place I ever saw.

He said that football thing so many times that even if someone asked me that in my sleep I'd be able to tell that.
Haha I almost said soccer :)
Outstanding travel photography and drone video.
Thanks Werner! Where are you from?
Hi, Ryan. I'm from Fresno in central California. Your travel videos are
exceptional, with perfect editing and soundtracks. Thumbs up.
great video and scandinavia is unique region .its one of my biggest dreams to visit at least some of the places/countries there like norway, iceland and lapland too and also the cities like copenhagen stokholm.and faroe islands are great too
Iceland and faroe islands are not in Scandinavia
"Lapland looks like straight out of a Disney movie"... because it is, have you not seen Frozen?
Big facts! Probably where they got inspired for the landscape
Really interesting that people here are debating about the definition of scandinavia- while not commenting the actual video, -wich is stunning. I'm from Finland and I learnt in school that we belong to Scandinavia, ask any finn, I believe you get the same answer. So, the debate here is Finland part of scandinavia was a bit surprizing :D ...well, then I laugh and I thought next you probably think we have icebears. Think and believe what you want, peace and love.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I never knew the definition of Scandinavia would be so difficult! Love your country!
Was in Eastern Finland a year ago now and I'm DYING to go back
Dang, that sounds pretty cool! We’re you close to Russia?
