The region is also famous for the many cultural festivals, events and exhibitions that are present in the main cities and their art galleries and museums are some of the best in the world.

London Heathrow offers the most routes to Scandinavia with direct flights to Oslo, Helsinki and Stockholm with British Airways, bmi, Qantas and KLM.
