One of the main item on my bucket list was to see the Northern lights. I've written about it on a previous post . The husband and I went to Tromso in Norway to see it but we weren't going to fly all the way to Norway just to do that. For the trip, we took a 2 week trip and went to visit the other Scandinavian cities along the way. I have friends in Stockholm and Helsinki. Since we have never been to that part of the world, it was the great excuse to visit.
Again we got an amazing discounted biz ticket with Qatar Airways, the worlds' 5 star airline. They are much more generous compared to Singapore Airlines. Even with their discounted tickets, they still award you the full miles and even allowed us to buy an open jaw ticket, flying from Singapore to Stockholm and return from Oslo at no extra charge. Compared to stingy SQ, Qatar Airways is definitely the way to fly.
What was amazing when flying over Scandinavia during winter is the views you see from the plane - Winter Wonderland.
Thus this was how our trip went:
1. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Stockholm: Gamla Stan
2. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Stockholm: Vassa Museum & the Royal Palace
3. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Taking the sea route from Stockholm to Helsinki
4. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Helsinki Part 1
5. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Helsinki Part 2: Suomenlinna
6. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Copenhagen Part 1
7. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Copenhagen Part 2
8. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Oslo Part 1
9. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Oslo Part 2: Akershus
10. Travelogue: Trip to Scandinavia - Tromso, Norway

ReplyDeleteWow, this is something I was browsing the net since morning for my upcoming trip to Vilnius. The information is without any doubt, fruitful, and I will definitely give a try for sure. Plus, I also request other readers to give a thought on this blog if they are planning for a Europe trip in the near future.
