Norway’s rail journeys are voted the best in Europe
One of the best ways to see the Scandinavian countries is by rail. And in Norway you’ll be treated to some amazing journeys. This includes the Flåm railway, which has been deemed as one of the most beautiful railways in the world.

Taking on a rail journey is a great way to see the scenery, particularly between Oslo and Bergen. You’ll be able to admire the fjords and high mountains from the comfort of your seat.

You can hunt for the northern lights
Norway is one of the best locations in the world to see the northern lights. Northern Norway falls right in the middle of what is called the “Northern Lights Belt”, a zone which is known for its auroral frequency and intensity.

To have the best chances of seeing them, make sure to head north during the winter, check the meteorological conditions and get out of the cities and towns. Also, stay up late as peak time is usually between 11 PM and 2 AM.

As it pays off to be away from light pollution, visit the following locations: Lofoten Islands, Tromsø and Svalbard.

Its capital is a modern art hub
Oslo, the capital of Norway, is an interesting blend of traditional Scandinavian design and modern influences. Having always been an art and cultural hub, this is the place to visit to discover modern Norwegian artists.

The city is dotted with art galleries allowing you to dive into this creative world. From Aker Brygge Wharf to Tjuvholmen, the harbourside is an interesting area with art museums and stunning modern architecture.

To learn more about history, you could also visit the Royal Palace in Oslo. It is the home of the Norwegian King and Queen, and the royal family.

The sun doesn’t set in summer
In the northern parts of Norway, if you travel in summer you may be able to enjoy the benefits of the midnight sun. Admire the night scenery in the shining sun, with more daylight to take on outdoor activities and to live like a local.

In the northern city of Tromsø, to give you an example, in the months of May and July, the sun only sets between 3-5 hours each night. In June, nearer the summer solstice, the sun doesn’t set at all.

Don’t forget to bring a sleeping mask just in case.

There’s a hop-on, hop-off cruise along the coast
Norway’s coastline is one of the most beautiful and rugged coastlines in the world and spans 3 seas, the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea. It is also one of the easiest to explore thanks to the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage.

The classic voyage is a one-way journey of roughly 1,255 kilometres (780 miles) that will take you from Bergen in the south to Kirkenes in the north.

Taking 6 or 7 days to complete, passengers aren’t tied to the itinerary. You can decide to join a particular section, or take breaks along the way to discover the ports of call in more depth. Along the way you could discover Trondheim, the Lofoten Islands, and the North Cape, Norway's northernmost point.

This is the ideal way to discover the Norwegian west coast.

It’s one of the world’s happiest countries
Unsurprisingly, Norway often appears in the top happiest countries in the world. The World Happiness Report, published by the Denmark-based Happiness Research Institute, proves that the Nordic country is not just a beautiful place, but also a happy one.

Many other annual reports, such as the Global Peace Index, also state how Norway is a safe and peaceful country.

With their amazing natural environment and penchant for the great outdoors, it’s no wonder the country is peaceful and the people happy. Fittingly, the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held yearly in Oslo.

You can see polar bears in the wild
You don’t have to worry about this while roaming the streets of Oslo, of course. But head north to the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard and it’s a different story.

One of the northernmost inhabited places on the planet, Svalbard is a true Arctic haven. Two thirds of the surface are protected by national parks, reserves or sanctuaries. Nicknamed the realm of the polar bears, their population exceeds the human population.

The area is perfect for sightseeing other Arctic wildlife. This includes Svalbard’s only native land mammals, the reindeer and Arctic fox, as well as birds, walruses and whales.

Fun fact about the capital of Svalbard, Longyearbyen: you’re not allowed to die here. Because of permafrost, bodies must be shipped back to mainland for burial.

The natural landscapes are wonderfully diverse
From the west coast fjords to the snow-covered mountains, a holiday to Norway takes you through all different seasons and geography. You can take a city break in Oslo or cross the Arctic Circle with a real northern adventure. Did you know you can even stay in a snow hotel?

One of our favourite locations, the western fjords, encompasses the highest concentration of fjords in the world. You definitely will not get bored either as they often have such different backdrops and feels. The famous Geirangerfjord is considered the most beautiful fjord in the world and is one of Norway’s UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The magnificent archipelago of the Lofoten Islands is also home to the largest coral reef in the world. Here you can walk the pristine beaches, admire the peaks that dominate the skyline and maybe even catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
