With a population of 5.1 million but more than 500 times larger than Singapore in terms of land area, Norway is your destination if you’re looking for space – and vast expanses of breathtaking nature. Think majestic fjords, mighty glaciers, spectacular mountain ranges, rippling forests and endless Arctic tundra. Take your Norway tour package all the way with a Northern lights tour, for the country is one of the best places for an aurora borealis sighting. Plan your customised escape from the tropical bustle of Singapore with Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours today.
An unforgettable phenomenon: The northern lights The sight of great swirls of aurora borealis dancing across the sky, casting its ethereal glow on the surrounding inky darkness, is splendidly divine. Tromsø in the north of Norway is one of the best places for catching the northern lights, which typically can better be seen from September to March. Increase your chances by booking your Tromsø holiday package between December and March, when the skies are relatively clearer.
Packed with numerous museums, modern architecture, hip restaurants, and outdoor activities like golfing, snowboarding and Arctic fishing, Tromsø is a vibrant city that goes beyond its stunning fjords, mountains and islands.
Flåm Railway, the most beautiful train journey in the world The Flåm Railway is an engineering feat and a one-hour ride with jaw-dropping views at every turn. From the mountain station at Myrdal to Flåm at ocean level, the journey takes you through steep mountains, deep valleys and gushing waterfalls in just 20km. What is remarkable is that this is one of the world’s steepest railway lines, and 18 of the 20 tunnels the train traverses were built by hand. It’s a leisurely ride, with time to ooh-and-ahh over the postcard-perfect scenery on both sides of the train, and a photo stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall.
Oslo, art central Norway’s capital may be the country’s economic hub yet there’s a laidback vibe that makes it seem enviably livable. It may not be possible to move there, but you can experience the good life with an Oslo vacation package. Apart from an efficient transport system and plenty of green spaces, Oslo has impressive museums that are not just art venues but also incorporate public spaces and restaurants for the ultimate urban living.
There’s the well-known Munch Museum featuring works of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, and the 63-acre Ekebergparken Sculpture Park, which has a vast collection of world-class sculptures and installations, an activity house for children and a panoramic view of the city. Best of all, it’s free and open all day. The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art has a collection that includes luminaries like Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, and is neighbours with art galleries, retail and residential properties, as well as the lush boutique hotel, The Thief.
In Oslo, even food takes on a cultural scale. The new Mathallen food hall is a sophisticated market with restaurants, cafes, pubs and stalls with local farmers and producers hawking a taste of homegrown Norwegian meats, cheeses, seafood and more.
