They raided Britain's coasts, Ireland, North Spain, West France, and around the Baltic Sea (Russia, Ukraine, and such). They usually raided monestaries and churches, where most of the money was. They'd use that money to fund a new campaign. Rarely would they stay and settle a location.

I know this isn't your question, but I want to put my two cents in. Their expansionist raids caused Europe to become heavily armed in defense against hit-and-run tactics. Once the Viking Age died out, the Europeans were still armed to the teeth and the soldier peoples who had spent generations fighting invaders had nobody to fight anymore. They resorted to their own brand of raiding. The pope solved the issue by sending them to Jersualem to conquer the Holy Land. The Vikings indirectly caused the crusades. And, the crusades did a whole lot to change the world forever.

I hope I helped.
