To make it easier for you to navigate through an abundance of places and offers, we have gathered all our top lists in one place. Here you can find tips from experts on everything from places to go and things to do, to where to eat and what to see.

Places to go

Norway is a much larger country than most people realise. We know that you want to see it all, but it helps if you know where you want to go in advance. These top lists will show you both popular and off-beat destinations, and give you pointers on what you shouldn’t miss and where you can find it.

Take your time and enjoy the scenery, the culture and the food along the way, and remember – the beauty of travel is when you forget the destination and the journey becomes the destination itself.

Let the local experts guide you

The great outdoors

With nature like this, why stay indoors? Do like the locals and spend your days outside, but always bring a sweater – and maybe a raincoat, too. As we Norwegians say: There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.

Exploring and embracing the nature is the best way to experience Norway, and here you’ll find some tips from experts on easy hikes and cycling on roads, in the mountain and through raw nature.
