Welcome to the land of fjords
Travel to Norway
Norway is one of the most visually striking countries I’ve travelled through, from dramatic fjords and coastal drives to Arctic towns and quiet mountain villages. Here you’ll find my Norway travel guides, itineraries and planning tips.
Best Time to Visit
Summer (June–August) for fjords and road trips, winter (December–March) for northern lights.
How Long to Visit
7–12 days is ideal to cover multiple regions.
Getting Around
Trains, ferries and scenic drives connect regions well.
Cash vs Cards
Norway is almost entirely cashless. You can comfortably travel using cards everywhere, even for small purchases.
Must-Try Experience
Cruising through the fjords or chasing the northern lights.

FAQ
What is a good Norway itinerary for first-time travellers?
For a first trip, I usually recommend focusing on a combination of Oslo, Bergen and the fjord region. A route like Oslo → Flam → Bergen works really well, as it lets you experience both cities and some of Norway’s most scenic journeys without rushing too much.
Is Norway worth visiting for a first Europe trip?
Yes, but it depends on what you’re looking for. Norway is less about cities and more about landscapes and experiences. If you enjoy nature, road trips and slower travel, it can be incredibly rewarding — just keep in mind that it’s on the more expensive side.
Can you see the northern lights in Norway easily?
You can, but it’s never guaranteed. Places like Tromsø and northern Norway give you a good chance during winter months, but you’ll need to stay for a few days and be flexible with weather conditions.
Is it better to do Norway by train or road trip?
Both work well, but they offer different experiences. Trains like the Bergen railway are scenic and easy, while a road trip gives you more flexibility, especially in the fjord regions.For a realistic estimate of how much it costs to travel to Bhutan, you can check my travel cost calculator here:
Is it easy to travel around Norway?
Yes, the infrastructure is excellent and very reliable. The only thing to keep in mind is that distances can be long, so planning your route thoughtfully makes the trip much smoother.
