Welcome to Norway

Norway is a country filled with legends and mysteries, from its history of ancient Norse myths to folktales of forests inhabited by all sorts of trolls. It also has stunning nature and exciting cities to discover. Norway’s interior is packed with mountains and forests that are perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities. Great views are guaranteed and luckily the country does not have that much dangerous wildlife, so it is safe enough to go camping in many places. When you travel to Norway, you will almost certainly arrive in Oslo, which is Norway’s capital and also its largest city. Staying there for a few days is also recommended as you’ll have the opportunity to visit and explore the nearby historical and cultural places and try out good restaurants.

Wilderness and relaxation in Norway

While the weather can be quite unpredictable in the summer months, the people love relaxing all over the grass in the parks, accompanied by a barbecue, some beers and music. Surprisingly there are also some nice beaches along the Norwegian coast. The further one travels to the north, the colder they get though. Yet, they are still popular with local people. During the winter season, Norway also offers a wide range of sports activities which are often in the middle of beautiful nature. There are many popular places to go and some are not so far from Oslo. The north of Norway, for example, is very suitable for skiing and snowboarding and you can also see the famous Northern Lights here.

Norway Highlights

The Geiranger Fjord

Of the many Norwegian fjords, this fjord is generally considered the most beautiful of them all. You’ll have to see it for yourself if that title is justified, but there is no doubt that the Geiranger Fjord is magnificent. And it is not without reason that it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 15 kilometer long fjord is very narrow in some places with steep rocky cliffs on both sides. And these in turn are interspersed with spectacular waterfalls that swirl down from great heights. If you are in this area on your holiday in Norway, you should not miss the Geiranger Fjord.

Northern Lights

Seeing the incredible colors of the Northern Lights dance over the Arctic sky is on many travelers' bucket lists, and few places on Earth offer more ways to view them than Norway. The Northern Lights can be seen in the north of Norway between late September and late May. This part of the country is one of the most beautiful and interesting places to admire the Northern Lights because of its many islands, deep fjords and steep mountains. And in addition to observing the Northern Lights, you can do many other kinds of activities during the day.

Hurtigruten Coastal Ferry

Norway's rugged and beautiful rocky coast is breathtaking. The best way to discover this amazing coastline is with the popular Hurtigruten passenger ship that sails between Bergen in the south and Kirkenes in the north and provides you with unique vistas and experiences. This is one of the most beautiful boat trips in the world. You’ll sail right along the shoreline with deep fjords and high mountains, at the foot of which there are quaint little villages consisting of a handful of wooden houses and a church.

The interior of Svalbard is characterized by steep mountains, but during the summer on Spitsbergen you can also see numerous floating icebergs from which polar bears try to catch their prey.

Bergen train journey

The route the train takes between Oslo and Bergen in Norway (also known as the Bergen Line) is often named one of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe, if not the world. This spectacular train journey takes you straight through Norway. The trip takes about 7 hours, and the views along the way are spectacular. You’ll travel from the deep coastal fjords to the snowy inland peaks and from vast frozen lakes to endless grassy plains. The views are so diverse and the seasons seem to change simultaneously with the landscape during this unforgettable journey.

You can join various safaris and encounter whales, king crabs, reindeer, eagles and even musk ox - rugged survivors of the last ice age. The polar bears are only found in Spitsbergen.
