Norway Travel Guide

Most visitors come to Norway with the fjords top of the sightseeing list, for nowhere else is there anything quite like these deep, water–filled slices between precipitous mountains. Next on most travellers' lists is the midnight sun. Norway has more hours of daylight each year than any other country in the world, and thousands of tourists trek to the North Cape to see the red glow of the sun at midnight. Unfortunately, many trek back in disappointment, for more often than not fog and clouds obscure the sun at the North Cape. Nonetheless, those on a summer holiday to Norway in towns above the Arctic Circle experience 24 hours of daylight, and the disorientation caused by having to go to bed during 'the day'! There are several cruise lines visiting Norway. An excellent way to experience the Norwegian coast, is to go on a cruise with Hurtigruten (The Norwegian Coastal Voyage) You can sit on deck and just enjoy the midnight sun. You can also choose a midnight cruise in Finnmark or go on a midnight sun cruise in Lofoten. These trips will take you out on the open sea to experience the special light.

The two main cities of Norway are Oslo and Bergen. As the home of Norway's parliament and National Theatre, and with dozens of first–rate museums and galleries, Oslo makes up in charm what it lacks in visual splendour. As if floating amid the fjords at Norway's western edge, Bergen is tucked at the bottom of seven mountains. It's a cosy city despite frequent rain and is the gateway to the fjords – both are surely perfect for a short city break.

Wilderness in Norway has become more of a leisure pursuit, an idea that Norwegians embrace, escape to and explore with great fervour. Nowhere is this more evident than in the countrys national parks shining symbols of the nations desire to protect the environment as much as they are showpieces of Norways peerless landscapes and otherworldly natural grace.

Things to do

There is a good selection of alpine resorts, offering slopes for beginners and advanced skiers, snowboard parks and off–piste areas for extreme skiers. There are cross–country trails in forests and mountains.

The best way to experience the fjords is to join a cruise. There are several companies offering half–day and one–day cruises. The international cruise lines stop at many ports and make several detours within the fjords.

Norwegians use the large mountain areas for hiking between the service and non–service cabins. There are thousands of kilometres of marked trails and many lakes with fish in them.

There are several routes that are ideal for biking, and there are package deals with bike rentals and accommodation available. Rallarvegen is the most popular tour.

Catch cod, mackerel and coalfish almost everywhere along the coast. Trout and pike fishing is good in lakes, and there are excellent salmon rivers..

Norway still has glaciers from the last ice age. You are strongly advised not to walk on these glaciers by yourself. There are guides available at many of the glaciers.

Experience sea eagles and whales from a close range. There are also bird watching safaris, elk safaris and safaris to see king crabs and the ancient musk ox.

For thrillseekers there are also Tusenfryd and B Sommarland which are among the most popular amusement parks in Norway.
