After six seasons and 93 episodes aired since 2013, the History Channel’s landmark hit TV series Vikings just concluded its much-anticipated finale. Created by Michael Hirst, the originally planned miniseries became such a smash among viewers that it expanded into one of the most well-received dramatic serials of the past decade.
One of the most compelling elements of Vikings is the vast array of continents, countries, and cities explored and settled upon by Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn, Torvi, Floki, and the other main characters. While the show is primarily set in Scandanavia, here is the full itinerary of destinations visited by the Vikings.
11 Canada
After conquering the majority of Europe in the first five seasons, Floki, Torvi, Othere, and Ubbe set sail across the Atlantic for an island off the coast of North America’s mainland in Season 6. Also known as the Golden Lands, the Vikings officially settle in Newfoundland.
Upon landing onshore, the Vikings encounter Mi’kmaq Village where the indigenous Pekitaulet tribe lives off the land. Unable to coexist, the two sides engage in a brutal clash that ends with a bloodbath.
10 Denmark
Denmark serves as one of the Vikings’ central Scandinavian countries in the series. King Horik, Queen Gunnhild, Erlendur, Ari, and Earl Vik all hail from the country, while the city of Hedeby also serves as the country’s Earldom capital.
The central drama of Vikings begins when Ragnar assassinates Horik, the King of Denmark, and forces Kattegat to secede from the country and form an allegiance with Norway.
9 England
Several locations throughout England are visited by the Vikings in the series. At the time the country was settled upon by the Vikings, the country was broken into major kingdoms. They include Wessex, Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia.
In East Anglia, King Ecbert bequeathed the region to Bjorn to rule as his own. However, he did so after his reign was over and the deal was non-binding. Other regions visited in England include York, Lindisfarne, and Winchester.
8 France
Beginning with the kingdom of West Francia, France is another major European country visited on multiple occasions by the Vikings. For instance, Ragnar realizes his dream of pillaging Paris after his first attempt failed.
When Ragnar has a falling out with his brother Rollo, the latter becomes the Duke of Normandy. Other areas explored in France include Aquitaine, Brittany, Catalonia, and Troyes.
7 Greenland
Discovered by Ubbe, the Vikings also venture to Greenland during their quest for global domination. During the Season 6 episode “Lost Souls,” Kjetill amusingly remarks “well, since there are no trees, why don’t we call it Greenland? How else are we going to attract new settlers.”
Ubbe and others reach Greenland on their voyage to find the Golden Lands (Newfoundland). When Kjetill refuses to share a beached whale with the other settlers, tensions reach a boiling point.
6 Iceland
Before departing Scandanavia, Floki managed to conquer Iceland and name his settlement Flokalundur. Betraying its namesake, the country is adorned with fiery lava geysers, volcanoes, and natural hot springs.
Upon discovering lava in Iceland, Floki believes he’s found Asgard. Unfortunately, his settlement falls apart and he’s forced to live alone in a cave where he finds a Christian crucifix before dying in a volcano-induced avalanche.
5 Italy
At the beginning of Season 5, Bjorn and Halfdan sail across the Mediterranean Sea in search of new regions to conquer. Bjorn’s travels take him to Sicily, Italy’s largest island.
Upon arrival, Bjorn agrees to serves as a bodyguard for the island’s leader, Euphemius. However, when Halfdan discovers Euphemius holds no real power, Bjorn insists on meeting his superior, Amir Zayadat Allah.
4 Norway
Along with Sweden, Norway is the predominant location the Vikings hail from and travel through in the series. The capital city of Bjorn’s kingdom, Kattegat, is located in Southern Norway.
In addition to Kattegat, locations visited throughout the country include Vestfold, Tamdrup, Istrehagen, Rogaland, and later the joint kingdom of Vestfold-Rogaland. All of the major characters are of Norwegian descent, including King Ragnar and Queen Lagertha.
3 Sweden
Referred to as Svealand in the show, Sweden plays a major geographical role in Vikings. In the series, the country is ruled by Earl Bjarni, the cousin of King Horik of Denmark. Even so, Horik controls the Swedish region of Uppsala and flexes his muscle in the region.
Another key region explored in Sweden includes the city of Gotaland, where Borg, Torvi, Guthrum, and Aslaug all come from. Additional characters from Svealand include Earl Jorgensen, Hoskuld, Hild, Froh, Rurik, and The Priest of Uppsala.
2 Tunisia
After leaving Sicily in Season 5, Bjorn continues to sail the Mediterranean and takes the advice of a nun to visit Kairouan, Africa, typically known today as the country of Tunisia. There, Bjorn negotiates a trade deal with the powerful Emir Ziyadat Allah.
Upon traveling across the desert, Bjorn, Halfdan, and Sindric narrowly avoid arrest and execution when a destructive sandstorm hits the region. After successfully escaping during the storm, the trio sails back to Kattegat unscathed.
1 Ukraine
Although the country of Ukraine did not exist during the Vikings’ reign, the eventual capital city of Kyiv still plays a key role in the series. In Season 6, Ivar’s voyage to Silk Road takes him to the Rus region where the pre-Kyiv capital of Novgorod is located.
Upon arrival, Ivar is invited by Oleg to help regain the Scandinavian land that belongs to the Kievan-Rus’ population. Instead, Ivar forms a kinship with Oleg’s brother, Igor.
