Top attractions in Norway
Norway offers visitors an incredible mix of cultural and natural wonders. From cosmopolitan Oslo to its endless snowcapped mountain peaks and deep fjords, there's no end of choices for travelers in the land of the midnight sun and stunning northern lights.
Getting around the country is easy, and the country's top-notch transit systems offer some of the best sightseeing opportunities, too, whether by rail or aboard the fantastic coastal steamers.
One of the world's most prosperous nations, Norway seems to have a fascinating museum for just about every important aspect of its rich cultural and social history. Do your research, and you'll find fascinating attractions covering everything from the Vikings to seafaring and fishing, as well as art and entertainment.
Norway is located in Northern Europe and shares a long land border with Sweden in the East and with Finland and Russia in the Northeast. Covering an area of 385, 178 sq km, this mesmerizing land is home to majestic glaciers, stunning fjords, heartwarming landscapes, and beauty in all its bounty. This Scandinavian beauty has Oslo as its capital. Extremely cosmopolitan in its essence, it is an upcoming trade capital and boasts of an active and truly enjoyable nightlife.
Norway is also frequented by those who wish to indulge their senses in the wonder of the Northern lights. Often called the Land of the Midnight Sun, Norway provides you with ample opportunities for recreation. Go on a hiking trail or just soak in the beauty of nature on a fishing trip. The country is divided into multiple small regions each offering a distinct flavor of its own. Rainbows are a common sight and you will find ample places to sit back and enjoy them.
Norway is also rich in spectacular scenery. From its stunning fjords to its spectacular mountains and glaciers, many of which are easily accessible to tourists, you'll find some of the best places to visit in Europe for exciting adventures.
Norway is a small country which is easy to travel around. This isn't the case. Even though only 5 million people live here, it’s a large country by area (148 718 square miles) that stretches from 57° to 81° North. This means that you're not able to spend a couple of days in Norway and see both the west coast, capital, and northern parts. In fact, driving from Kristiansand in southern Norway to Nordkapp in Northern Norway takes about 38 hours non-stop.
BEST TIME TO VISIT NORWAY: In the popular imagination, Norway is commonly regarded as remote and cold – spectacular but climatically inhospitable. There is some truth in this, of course, but the best time to visit is not, perhaps, as clear-cut a choice as you might imagine with other seasons other than summer offering particular bonuses. There are, for example, advantages to traveling during the long, dark winters with their reduced everything: daylight, opening times, and transport services. If you are equipped and hardy enough to reach the north, seeing the phenomenal northern lights (aurora borealis) is a distinct possibility and later, once the days begin to lighten, the skiing – and for that matter the dog-sledding, ice fishing, and snowmobiling – is excellent. There are skiing packages to Norway from abroad, but perhaps more appealing – and certainly less expensive – is the ease with which you can arrange a few days’ skiing wherever you happen to be. As the year advances, Easter is the time of the colorful Sámi festivals, and mid-May can be absolutely delightful if your visit coincides with the brief Norwegian spring, though this is difficult to gauge. Springtime is particularly beguiling in the fjords, with a thousand cascading waterfalls fed by the melting snow, and wildflowers in abundance everywhere. Autumn can be exquisite too, with September often bathed in the soft sunshine of summer, but – especially in the far north – it is frequently cold, often bitterly so, from late September to mid-to-late May. Nevertheless, most people travel during the summer season, which can be the best time to visit as bus, ferry, and train connections are at their most frequent. This is the time of the midnight sun: the further north you go, the longer the day becomes until at Nordkapp the sun is continually visible from mid-May to the end of July. Something worth noting, however, is that the summer season in Norway is relatively short, stretching roughly from the beginning of June to the end of August. Come in September and you’ll find that many tourist offices, museums, and other sights have cut back their hours, and buses, ferries, and trains have already switched to reduced schedules.
