How to explore Norway's regions
Our best tip: Focus on a region or a specific area, and see more than just the main attractions there. There is so much to see and do, and you don't want to waste your time rushing from one place to another, and end up spending your holiday packing suitcases!
If you are up for a road trip, you should plan to drive one of Norway’s most scenic routes on some of the world’s most beautiful roads! But remember, many of the most scenic roads are narrow and winding, so drive carefully. Driving in Norway usually takes longer time than you think! Top tip: hire an electric car and make your journey more environmentally friendly.
Another good way to cover long distances is by bus or train. Luckily for you, we have some of the world's most stunning rail routes and scenic bus rides! You can also experience a lot of coastal culture and island hopping in a few days with ferries and express boats,as we have one of the longest coastlines in the world. Or cruise comfortably between cities and quaint fishing communities onboard Hurtigruten.
Planning your trip is half the fun, but if you want some suggestions, you will find some really good itineraries and suggested round trips in Norway with public transportation below. See how to plan an entire holiday by train, discovering things to see and do near the best stops along the line.

There are so many cool places to see, but remember that an adventure is not only about your final destination. When you plan your route, make sure to include time to explore hidden gems along the way, like local eateries, architectural masterpieces, and even spectacular restrooms (yes, really).
