A new kind of travel guide to Sweden & Denmark
Routes North was started to help people discover all of the amazing stuff that Sweden and Denmark have to offer, regardless of their budget. The site covers the whole region, from cool cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen, all the way north to the frozen reaches of Swedish Lapland.
Our destination guides are all researched on the ground by writers who know the area inside-out and speak the local lingo. Apart from money-saving tips and advice on planning a trip, you’ll find independent accommodation reviews, detailed guides to museums and other attractions, plus tips on where to eat and drink. Our travel forum is the place to get your travel questions answered.
Routes North is the only Scandinavian travel guide that pays its own way. We don’t take freebies and we don’t run sponsored posts, so you can always trust what you read on the site.
