Most of Central and Northern Europe can be visited year-round, though the warmer summer months between May and September are most popular. July and August tend to offer the best weather but can be very busy and expensive. Northern Norway, Finland, Sweden, Scotland, and Iceland in particular can be very cold and dark during the winter months, though this is the perfect time for skiing and winter-sports. The Christmas and New Year period is always busy so you may want to plan your trip well in advance.
