Spring in Scandinavia
I have made the decision that my Spring trip is going to be around Scandinavia (namely Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Finland). I haven't really started to look into this at all quite yet, but was wondering if anyone had advice or recommendations for any of these countries.
I am meeting up with a friend in Aarhus, Denmark but will probably be on my own aside from that.
Also, I love to camp and would love to get into the outdoors a bit, but don't know where to start looking for info on this front.
Cheers

Bergen, Norway is a must. Beautiful city and a great launching point for fjord tours. My understanding is that Norway allows you to camp on land whether private or public with or without consent of the owner (although that is always nice to ask) if you are some distance from their house so you should find something pretty easily.
Scandinavia is brutally expensive (although Ireland isn't exactly cheap so it may not be as bad for you), just keep that in mind

I too am planning a trip in Scandanavia in the Spring time-- I will be visiting Iceland, Denmark, and Sweden.
Do you guys have any other tips?

I am also hoping to go through Scandinavia in the spring (but it will probably be 2009!) would love to hear of any must-see-in-spring hidden treasures anybody knows of in the area!

It's looking like Iceland might not be the place to go in the spring, instead I'm hearing summer is the time to be there-- any thoughts?

RyanAir has direct flights from Dublin going to Oslo/Stockhold/Tampere/Billund/Gothenberg - so many options!
