Well, you're lucky to learn Swedish, because it's a pain to be stuck with English. Well, Swedish won't really help you in Finland though, because people speak better English than Swedish most of the time, but you'll get the signposts at least.
And Finland is not in Scandinavia (ooooh), it's part of the Nordic countries only, like Iceland. I've only been to Stockholm in Sweden, it's nice but nothing sensational. Helsinki is not a big city either, not many architectural curiosities (it's quite young), but a lot of forests and lakes and reindeers. Norway I haven't been, the Northern part (the Fjords) is said to be really beautiful in summer, but it's quite an expensive destination. And the only thing I heard about Denmark is that the accent is so horrible that even if you lean Danish, you'll never manage :D
The one I'm interested in right now is Iceland, I'm dying to do the big tour of the island... next year maybe (fingers crossed).
If you drop by in Helsinki, come and say hello!
