Here is how we visited 4 Countries in 13 days about USD 2500 all in everything. This post contains all the cost break down and detail itinerary.
I am sure everyone knows that traveling in this part of the world is expensive..let me tell you ; yes it is very expensive . in abisko, sweden i met a lady fron Canada who paid a return train ticket from oslo to abisko for 600 Canadian dollars ..what?
And in stockholm ; swedish capital; sweden a train ticket from the airport to city center will cost you $60 .. But i was able to find a way that only cost me $6.
If you plan and find the information well; you can still visit these countries without spending a fortune..
👩💻👩💻 It took me more than 6 months of research ; asking questions to local in TripAdvisor to have this itinerary with this budget ...
You can definitely travel cheaper than this as we decided to splurge a bit more on accommodation. If you want to know more about the individual cost/where to book/ where I stay etc, I have listed them all. At the end of this post are a few useful information.
