දවසක යනවාම තමයි, Vikings බැලුවට පස්සේ අස හිතුනා තවත්
Vikings came from Norway...But I think the TV series, most of it is filmed in Ireland. Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Visit Norway, you have the option to skip Switzerland, Canada and NZ South Island.... You get everything in Norway. Scenic beauty is fabulous. Iceland is a bit different to Norway. It has another set of distinct features. But Norway takes much longer time if you really want to cover important sites.
Also there are the Lofoten Islands.... Off mainland Norway. About one and a half flight from Oslo. You can take the ferry from Bodo but takes about 3.5 to 4 hrs depending on the weather. Lofoten is in the Arctic circle but its kept warm by warm currents and is quite nice place. Just 2 -3 days in enough to cover it.
PS: To answer the question by member
@garment123....
Yes... Both Norway and Iceland are considered a bit expensive. We have the four of us in the family plus sometimes friends who usually joins. But if you book well in advance you can save a lot. If you eat from Restaurants it's quite expensive. But there are units or chalets with kitchens. . Book these and make your own food, you cut down the major cost. Buying stuff from the supermarkets is not expensive. We usually hire a self drive van or a car and travel to where we like.
For a single person probably sometimes you get special tour deals from TourRadar and a few other agents. Once the vaccine comes on maybe that's the time to travel before the prices start jacking up.
In fact we were planning to visit there again in the middle of last August as we had a function to attend & then travel onwards to St Petersburg. Obviously that function got cancelled. Icelandic Air didn't refund but gave a travel voucher valid for 3 years from the booked day of travel. (if the airline manages to survive)
But SQ refunded in full the return tickets from CMB-SIN-LHR sector. We booked this long before the Covid issue even though intended to travel in mid August. Who would expect the Covid disaster...
An EK member living in Europe posted a nice video on his tour in Iceland... Please search for that. It was quite informative.
