What to do in Norway

Norway is a Scandinavian country in Europe that’s chockfull of blessings from Mother Nature, stunning architectural sites, charming old towns, impressive modern cities, and more. You won’t run out of places to see and things to do, so make sure you have enough memory in your camera or mobile for the best travel photos and memories too.

Travel to Norway’s capital and fly to Oslo. Bring your camera to the Royal Palace, the Oslo Cathedral, the Opera House, and the Stortinget Parliament of Norway. Let your culture vulture go wild and tour Oslo’s best museums like the Munch Museum, the Nobel Peace Centre, and the National Gallery.

Be charmed by the cobbled stone paths in Gamle Stavanger. Travel back in time when you see its Gothic Stavanger Cathedral and the Three Swords of Sverd i fjell. And have dip at the popular long sandy beach of Solastranden.

Complete your church hopping tour in Trondheim and Tromso. Stop by the fascinating road of Atlanterhavsveien. Have the biggest adventure in Norway’s largest national park on a highland plateau at Hardangervidda, the biggest glacier on the European mainland at Jostedalsbreen, and Norway’s highest mountains at Jotunheimen.

When to visit Norway

Many consider June to July as the best time to visit Norway, when the weather is warm and you can experience the Midnight Sun. But if you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy cheaper rates, plan your trip for May and September. If you want to see the Northern Lights, you need to travel during winter from November to February.
