What is fall in Scandinavia like?

Fall in Scandinavia is golden. From August to December, you'll experience warm, sunny days in the late summer, crisp afternoons in the autumn, and cozy, snowy nights in the winter-


For Stockholm and Copenhagen locals, fall is the time to reflect, recharge, and make time for the little things. As the seasons change and days get shorter, Danes like to create a warm hygge atmosphere whereas Swedes gather with family and friends for cozy fika moments – and you’re invited!
