For many Norwegians, summer is synonymous with sunny days in coastal cities with white wooden houses and narrow streets. We call these wooden towns "sommerbyer" (which literally means "summer cities") because they have a remarkable summer vibe.
Some of the most popular holiday destinations for Norwegians are located in Southern Norway, but there are also many other must-see destinations along the coast.
The Norwegian travel blogger Mette Solberg Fjeldheim has experienced the beauty of many of these places close up. She is the founder of Reiselykke (“Travel bliss”), and in 2017 she won the award "Travel blog of the year".
Here, Mette Solberg Fjeldheim lists ten of her favourite towns where you can experience that special Norwegian "sommerby" atmosphere.
130 white houses, sailboats, and the smell of freshly cut grass – Skudeneshavn has all the classic ingredients of a typical Norwegian summer destination. This old fishing town is located at the southern tip of Karmøy island in Fjord Norway.
“Here, you can take a walk along the flowerful and narrow streets that curves between the white houses. You should also visit one of the pleasant cafes in the town centre and enjoy a hot waffle”, Fjeldheim recommends.

Outdoor enthusiasts should check out Haugesund, located less than an hour drive from Skudeneshavn.
“If you want to see the surrounding nature of the region, there are plenty of opportunities. Explore one of the many islands nearby, or take a hike to the mountains surrounding Haugesund", says the blogger.
She also suggests a walk along the harbour where several eateries are situated.
If you are interested in film and music, you are in for a treat. Every August, Haugesund hosts the Norwegian International Film Festival, one of the most important film festivals in Scandinavia, as well as the music festival Sildajazz.

Nothing beats a sunny day in Bergen. Even though this is Norway’s second largest city, Bergen is known for its small-town charm and atmosphere. Fjeldheim suggests a walk in Bergen’s old town and Nordnes, a neighbourhood situated at a peninsula in the city centre. Nordnes has several dense clusters of wooden houses and narrow alleys worth exploring.
“In addition to the scenic streets, you should check out Nordnesbadet swimming pool, where you can choose between a swim in the sea or in in an outdoor pool”.
Traveling with children? At Bergen Aquarium, you will be introduced to everything from sea lions and crocodiles to snakes and lizards.
Mette Solberg Fjeldheim is a freelance journalist and travel writer.
In 2017, she was named Norway's best travel blogger for the blog and magazine Reiselykke.
She also has an international version of her blog, called Travel Felicity, that displays highlights from her travels.
About 37 percent of Norway's land area is covered by forest. That is one of the main reasons why many of our houses are made of wood.
They are built in several different styles, but are often painted in white - particularly those located along the coast.
The colour became trendy in the 19th century, and is still popular all over Norway.

Did you notice all the white-painted homes captured in the top picture? If so, you might not be surprised to hear that no other European city has more wooden houses than Stavanger. This low-key destination, situated in Fjord Norway, has about 8000 wooden houses in several different styles.
There are few things that beat a relaxing walk in the city centre along the narrow streets. And if the sun is shining, you should stop for a coffee at a open-air café in Øvre Holmegate street, where you’ll find several candy-coloured buildings.
Foodies should also check out the Gladmat food festival, which is one of the leading festivals in Scandinavia. And if you eager to have a swim, or try your surfing luck, some of Norway’s most popular waves are found at Solastranden beach and along the beaches of Jæren.

In Tønsberg, history meets amusement. Norway’s oldest town is particular popular as a summer destination, with a long coastline and a variety of cultural events, such as concerts, stand-up shows and art exhibitions. Take a stroll on the harbour and get a taste of the vibrant pulse you will find there in the summertime.
“If you are in the Tønsberg area, you should make an excursion to Tjøme and Hvasser. Here, you will find the recreation area Verdens Ende (literally "World's End") and charming restaurants, such as Den Blå Brygge and Engø Gård”, says Fjeldheim.

“It is here, where I painted my best pictures for more than 30 years …”, Edvard Munch once said.
Åsgårdstrand could hardly get a better compliment than that. Munch, who is most known for the iconic painting “The Scream”, has spent many summers in Åsgårdstrand, a small coastal town located in the county of Vestfold.
And ever since the 1920s people have followed Munch’s footsteps and travelled to Åsgårdstrand during this season.
“The town centre offers everything from pleasant art galleries and cosy shops to restaurants and bakeries”, says Fjeldheim, who points out that Åsgårdstrand also has small bays and parks suitable for swimming.
It was in 1889 that Edvard Munch (1863-1944) spent the first of many summers in Åsgårdstrand. In 1898 he…

This city draws visitors who enjoy long days with sunbathing, sea food and walks along rocky shores. Due to its bustling beaches and more secluded bathing areas, Sandefjord is often referred to as “Badebyen” ("Bathing city").

Mette Solberg Fjeldheim is a freelance journalist and travel writer.
In 2017, she was named Norway's best travel blogger for the blog and magazine Reiselykke.
She also has an international version of her blog, called Travel Felicity, that displays highlights from her travels.
About 37 percent of Norway's land area is covered by forest. That is one of the main reasons why many of our houses are made of wood.
They are built in several different styles, but are often painted in white - particularly those located along the coast.
The colour became trendy in the 19th century, and is still popular all over Norway.
Check out and read more about the wooden towns of Norway.
In addition to the hot spots above, there are also several towns in Southern Norway worth visiting. The region has been a popular summer holiday destination for Norwegians for decades, while remaining a hidden gem for many international visitors.
The seaside town of Risør is famed for its white-painted wooden houses, fun events like the wooden boat festival Trebåtfestivalen and the archipelago.
The idyllic Blindleia archipelago, a Historic Hotel, and traditional Southern Norway charm await in Lillesand.
From underwater safari and modern camping to art and a science centre – discover the coastal town famed for its buzzing city centre and idyllic archipelago.
Get lost in narrow cobblestone streets, find your private island, and let your mind wander as you walk along the seafront. In Grimstad, the atmosphere itself is the main attraction.
Explore urban beach life in Norway’s southernmost city! Kristiansand also has a vibrant cultural scene and exciting activity parks and museums.
An old pirate town, thousands of birds, miles of beaches, and a little piece of America – discover Farsund and Lista.
Street art, the Dutch Quarter, rail biking, and idyllic nature await in Flekkefjord, the westernmost city in Southern Norway.
During the months of June, July, and August, the days are long and the nights short, even non-existing north of the Arctic Circle, where you get the midnight sun. The Norwegian summer weather is often quite stable, and the temperatures are pleasant both on land and at sea.
From hip urban cities to glittering fjords, northern lights, and remote villages above the Arctic Circle – Norway is a veeery long country, packed with things to see and do. So, where do you start? To get the most out of your holiday, we recommend that you choose one or two regions to explore. Here are some of the highlights!
The Norwegian coastline is varied, spectacular, and a paradise for everyone who loves the ocean breeze. If you really want to get close to nature, grab an ore and explore some of the ten best places to go kayaking in Norway, according to Olympic medallist Eirik Verås Larsen.
There has never been a more exciting time for Norwegian architecture! Bold designs and urban developments are popping up all over the country, and many of the projects reflect the powerful, often brutal contrasts in nature.
