Best time to visit Scandinavia
We plan to go to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland next summer and wonder which month is the best time to visit. I know many of my relatives in both Sweden and Norway take the whole month of Aug. off to go on Holiday. If June too chilly or is the weather good - also what about Sept. Would love any input. We want to go to Stockholm, Bergen, Oslo, Helsinki and many other places in between. We also are leaning towards part of the trip being a cruise. Any ideas? Thank for your help.

Take a boat between Stockholm and Helsinki. Eat, drink, dance, take a sauna, treat yourself with beauty parlour/massage and be sure you are on the deck when the boat passes through the archipelago.
It is impossible to say anything about the weather. Could be anything. Right now it is a glorious autumn day, sunshine, leaves just starting to turn red/yellow and 18°C. But it could as easily be pouring rain and +8°.

I would go for early Sep. May, june, July, Aug weather can be anything. Late summer the weather has kind of stabilized. Mid June and two months ahead is high season for foreign travellers in Norway.
