I'm strongly considering going to Germany next year (particularly Berlin), but out of curiosity I looked up flights to Stockholm and Copenhagen from New York, and they're both slightly shorter and considerably cheaper. The latter fact surprised me. I have been interested in going to both Sweden and Denmark, so th
I'm a 24 year old straight male from New York and I prefer warm weather, but I assume that everywhere will be warm enough (even if not hot) in the summer. I love eating and drinking. I'm assuming the nightlife hierarchy in this case is Berlin>Copenhagen>>>Stockholm, but I could be wrong about that. Even though the flights to the Scandinavian countries are cheaper, would I be correct in assuming that the savings would be eaten up by higher cost of doing things in Scandinavia as opposed to Germany? I'm finding package deals to fly to Berlin and stay there for 1 week for for people, at about 900 dollars per person. Same thing with Copenhagen.Does that sound too good to be true?
May, June, July, and August I believe are the best months in all of Scandinavia. Recommend you go around then!
Generally speaking, Europe and Scandinavia is not as expensive as people would have you think. If you're OK with hostels there shouldn't be a problem keeping your savings.

What are your thoughts on the last part of my post? I found a one week flight and travel package in both Berlin and Copenhagen for under 1000 dollars (shared among 4 people)

The price is OK I guess. But it's hard to give my opinion there cuz being Scandinavian and thinking about going to New York e.g. (never been to US), I would expect to spend $1,000 for a week I guess, it's a far as fuck flight and hugely money oriented place so makes sense.. Rent a car and go all out "the American way".
But if you're coming to e.g. Copenhagen that's not how it's like at all. No Dodge Rams everywhere or however it is in N.Y.C. I don't know. Anyway. If it's $250 per person for flight and stay that's pretty sweet for a Denmark trip or Berlin whatever. $1,000 for one person to chill with some Dansk ol though I don't think so..

do NOT rent a car if you go to NYC, unless you plan on doing a road trip or something. NYC public transit is just like Europe, but even better because it's 24/7. And how is that price bad exactly for Northern European standards? That's 6 nights of hotel, plus flight, and a non shitty hotel. I've spent that much for flight and hotel within the US, for only 4 nights.

NYC is not like Muncie, Indiana lol, I would say that 3/4 of the population relies on public transit. Though there are plenty of retards with big SUVs. And I'm guessing you're Danish?

>I'm assuming the nightlife hierarchy in this case is Berlin>Copenhagen>>>Stockholm, but I could be wrong about that. You're probably right. As Berlin is the biggest city it's going to offer the most in terms of restaurants, nightlife, sight seeing etc. However, keep in mind that 1 week is not that much time, and you're likely not going to have the energy to do things all. the. time.
Copenhagen and Stockholm are smaller which means you can walk everywhere if you want (though Stockholm has a really good subway system), and their old town districts are way more beautiful than Berlin's. I'd place Stockholm at the top in that regard, its old town district is just full of narrow alleyways, cafés, pubs and beautiful buildings.
>would I be correct in assuming that the savings would be eaten up by higher cost of doing things in Scandinavia as opposed to Germany? Copenhagen is going to be the most expensive, I think, but the difference between the three is not that big to my knowledge.
>I'm finding package deals to fly to Berlin and stay there for 1 week for for people, at about 900 dollars per person. Same thing with Copenhagen.Does that sound too good to be true? It does sound like a very good deal, but housing not be ideal. Do you know anything about where you would be staying?

Also, am I better of going to Berlin or Hamburg?
Grayson Sanchez
Right, I won't have energy to do everything. I'm actually not one of those travelers who tries to pack a million things into every day. The plan is eating, people watching, and doing at least 1 cultural thing in the day time, and partying at night. Well, the hotels offered in those deals have mostly good reviews. But I'm not familiar with the neighborhoods of these cities yet. I would want to stay somewhat close to the city center. But I hear Berlin doesn't really have a traditional center?
