  Norway

The sparsely-populated Norwegian mountains have enchanting cities around the perimeter. Oslo has the biggest airport by far, but with other flights and with trains the other cities are easily reached, and make sense after a trek.

 Sweden

Sweden’s big cities Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo are in the South while the Kungsleden is in the North. Flights tend to change at Stockholm or Oslo (Norway), and anyone traveling by sleeper train should be able to see Stockholm.
