Norway travel guide

Norway AT A GLANCE

Prepare for a trip north to discover Norway. Go fishing in the Lofoten Islands; party in Oslo; walk to the Geirangerfjord glacier; visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Bryggen wharf in Bergen; take a dip in a fjord at Sognefjord; go kayaking in Velmunden in the east or surfing in Stadtlandet. Sail on the crystal-clear waters of Geirangerfjord. Get your adrenaline pumping as you peer over the cliffs into the void at Lysefjord. Admire the rock carvings near Vingen. Get up close and personal with the puffins on the islands off the coast of Finnmark. Spend the night in a lighthouse and take in the hypnotic sight of the waves crashing. Push on to the legendary North Cape. Have a drink under the midnight sun. Be transported into the grip of winter, north of the Arctic Circle. Hunt for the northern lights and try dog sledding and snowmobiling. Embrace your surroundings and spend the night in an ice hotel. Go even further and include the Svalbard archipelago and Spitsbergen island in your itinerary. Follow your guide through the white expanses, and keep your eyes peeled for polar bears. Our Norway travel guide below provides plenty of top tips for your trip.
