Three 60-year-old couples on a self-guided tour of Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Thoughts on types of accommodation as well as how to travel between countries? D. Wilton, Vineyard NSW
Iceland is undergoing a tourism boom. Hotels and dining are expensive and you should book that part of your trip as soon as possible, the less expensive options tend to book out early.
Tripadvisor can help you find the best options within your budget.
You might organise your tours at the same time.
The Golden Circle Tour stitches together most of Iceland's spurting, eruptive thermal wonders in a single day and several operators offer a similar tour.
If you do this early on in your stay you could then explore other wonders more intensively later on.
For the Scandinavian countries, assuming you want to explore the countryside you might hire a vehicle.
Copenhagen would be a good place to begin and end since it offers frequent connections with Reykjavik at reasonable cost.
As well as Copenhagen, Stockholm is another city where you could easily spend several days.
You might consider renting an apartment on Airbnb.
Lonely Planet has an excellent guide to Scandinavia to help you plan your route in detail.
TIPOLOGIST
Confusion exists between "direct" flights and "non-stop". Direct means your flight includes at least one stop en route but aboard the same aircraft using the same flight number. Non-stop means just that.
