No trains Oslo-Helsinki so fly. Just about trains - great sources of insight - www.bahn.com/en (schedules for all European trains in an easy to use site); www.seat61.com; BETS-European Rail Experts and www.ricksteves.com.

I'd try to hit Stockholm too rather than fly over it. And the boat ride Stockholm-Turku/Helsinki is awesome - overnight - great scenery seen till late at night with long days - suggest consider doing that. Then you could take train Oslo-Stockholm too. If you did all that a ScanRail Pass would be a good deal - see sites above for info on that.

Thanks PalenQ.Do you think I can squeeze in Stockholm with my itinerary or would you suggest dropping some days in other locations?
