Things I Didn't Know about the Baltics

- Due to the "white nights", it never gets truly dark and both the sunrises and sunsets are long and beautiful
- Taxis in Stockholm and Copenhagen accept credit cards, and to save time, you can have the driver scan your credit card during the ride. Then add any tip.
- While people all recommend going to Tivoli in Copenhagen at night because of the beautiful lights, remember that the sun doesn't set until after 10 pm during the summer so twilight is the best you will get--it will never get completely dark. And for us, going early when it opens allowed us to experience shorter ride lines.
- Consider riding bikes in Helsinki--especially on Sundays when vehicle traffic on most of the side streets was minimal!
