Hello Interrailers!
I intend to be interrailing around Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway - starting in Amsterdam) for 1 month and i'm really looking forward to the trip! Now, i still have a couple of questions regarding my trip.
my requirements:
* at least visited: Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, Gothenburg, Aarhus
* many backpackers to meet (hostels)
* affordable
This is the traveling route that I planned:

1. How long will this route take?
2. Are there enough places to meet up other backpackers (on this route)?
3. How much will this trip approx. cost?
Other questions:
1. What other routes are feasible when I have 1 month? (outside Scandinavia is possible; provided that it meets my requirements)
2. Is Finland worth visiting? I mean just Helsinki.. I heard many people in Helsinki don't like foreigners. (don't call me stupid, just an assumption ;) )
Many thanks in advance!

Hi RenJie.
Definitely add the Inlandsbana in Sweden.
And check the country topics of the Scandinavian countries with a lot of information about the ferries and connections:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]
I recommend you to travel definitely to the North - using the Inlandsbanan you already go up - continue to Narvik - amazing nature and freedom ...
Why not crossing then the border to Finland by bus (see country topics) and go down to Helsinki 8which is definitely a nice city - and Finish people are as well nice - always met cool people there).
I hope this will help you a little bit,
Peter :)
