  2. Yes, they are situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe, that occupies the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula.They finland and Norway are bordered by each other, and Russia, while the United Kingdom and the Faroe Islands lie to its west across the North Sea. Sweden  has land borders with Norway and Finland, and is connected to Denmark by the Oresund Bridge.

  3. Yes, Scandinavian countries are part of Europe.

  4. Yes, all three nations are part of the continent of Europe.

    However, politically, only Sweden and Finland are part of the EU (European Union).  Norway voted against joining.

    When it comes to travel, all three countries are part of Europe's Schengen Agreement, which abolishes border controls between the countries.  Thus you can pass from one to the next without passing through immigration checks (though there are customs checks when entering Norway, since it is not part of the EU).

    Economically, all three are part of the European Economic Area, which facilitates trade throughout Europe, creating a single market including countries that are not part of the EU.  But only Finland has adopted the Euro as its currency.  Norway and Sweden both still use their own currencies: the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona.

    Confusing, isn't it?!

    Also, it's probably worth noting that while Norway and Sweden are both part of Scandinavia, Finland is technically not Scandinavian, though it is often listed as such (common mistake).  The more correct term for the Scandinavian countries when including Finland is "Nordic" countries.

  5. Yes, of course they are

  6. Yes, they are considered part of Northern Europe.
