Welcome to the land of the midnight sun! From Norway’s majestic mountains and famous fjords to its spectacular islands, this destination is simply one of the most beautiful in the world! With its wealth of ski resorts, glaciers, mountains and idyllic waterfalls, Norway mostly attracts those looking for an active vacation in Europe. 

For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we recommend whale-watching in Tromsø or going to see the polar bears and walruses in Svalbard. Seeing these animals in their natural environment is simply indescribable. Tromsø is also the best destination if you want to experience the natural beauty of the iconic Northern Lights. If you want to enjoy Norway’s active pursuits, head for the country’s top hiking and cycling destinations: Rallarvegen was named Norway’s finest bicycle road by the magazine Travel and Vacation, while Valdres, Telemark and Helgeland are also very popular. For challenging hikes, head for Preikestolen, Trolltunga, Galdhøpiggen, Besseggen or Romsdalseggen, while the National Parks offer gentler walks.

If you want to explore some of Norway’s top destinations, the best starting point is absolutely Bergen, the gateway to the mythical Fjords of Norway. In this region, you can experience one of the most scenic parts of Norway: the archipelago of the Lofoten Islands. This area is characterized by picture-perfect fishing villages nestled in the fjords, dotting a very rugged coast with breath-taking peaks rising directly from the ocean. Or perhaps you want to see “the end of the world” with a visit to North Cape, where you will delight in the beauty of the never-ending romantic sunsets!

No trip to Norway would be complete without a visit to Oslo, the capital. The city is known for its wealth of museums, as well as its lovely green parks. Top attractions include the Norwegian Maritime Museum and the Viking Ship Museum, which boasts Viking ships from the 9th century!
