Norway is known for dramatic fjords, mountains, islands, forests, Arctic landscapes and vibrant cities. It can suit city breaks, scenic road trips, hiking holidays and winter adventures.
Why Visit Norway?
Travelers can combine cities such as Oslo and Bergen with fjords, coastal villages, mountain landscapes and northern destinations. Norway’s long geography means it is usually better to explore one or two regions rather than trying to cover the whole country.
Where to Go
Popular destinations include Oslo, Bergen, Tromsø, Stavanger, Trondheim, the Lofoten Islands, Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord and the North Cape. See our best places guide.
Getting Around
Trains, buses, ferries and domestic flights connect major destinations. Scenic rail and ferry journeys can also be part of the travel experience.
Nature and Outdoor Travel
Hiking, kayaking, skiing, fishing and fjord cruises are popular activities. Weather can change quickly, so check local conditions and follow safety advice.
Food and Culture
Try seafood, salmon, brown cheese, waffles, lamb and regional specialties. Norwegian culture is strongly connected with nature and outdoor life.
