Guide: what does a family week in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland cost?

At home in Zuidlaren we like to work out beforehand what a week in Scandinavia would cost our family: two adults and two boys (7 and 9). That’s why we did the research and measured it ourselves. What we couldn’t measure, we leave out rather than guess.
