The Scandinavian Triangle (sometimes Nordic Triangle) is a megalopolis in Southern Scandinavia in Northern Europe with the capital of each of the Scandinavian countries delineating a triangular land area covering the Southeastern corner of Norway, most parts of Svealand and all of Götaland in Sweden, and Zealand in Denmark. The Nordic Council of Ministers first used the term in its 'Nordic Infrastructure' publication from 1997. Today the term is still used in connection with transport and infrastructure and also often used in relation to tourism (The Golden Triangle of Scandinavia) where visitors get a chance to visit all three Scandinavian capitals.
