Practical Tips for Norway

Things to prepare and best way to visit

1. What is the best time to visit Norway?

The best time to visit Norway depends on your preferences. Summer (June to August) offers long days and mild temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities and midnight sun experiences. Winter (December to February) is ideal for seeing the Northern Lights and enjoying winter sports. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, but some attractions may have limited hours.

2. Do I need a visa to visit Norway?

Most visitors from EU/EEA countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can enter Norway without a visa for stays up to 90 days. However, it's always best to check the current visa requirements with the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration or your nearest Norwegian embassy before traveling, as regulations may change.

3. How expensive is Norway for tourists?

Norway is known to be one of the more expensive countries in Europe for tourists. Accommodation, food, and transportation can be costly compared to other destinations. However, there are ways to save money, such as staying in hostels, cooking your own meals, using public transportation, and taking advantage of free outdoor activities and attractions.

4. What are some must-see attractions in Norway?

Some of Norway's top attractions include the fjords (especially Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord), the Northern Lights in Tromsø, Oslo's museums and parks, Bergen's historic Bryggen district, the scenic Atlantic Ocean Road, the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) hike, and the Lofoten Islands. Additionally, Norway offers numerous stunning national parks and opportunities for outdoor activities.

5. How can I get around Norway?

Norway has an efficient public transportation system. In cities, buses, trams, and metros are common. For longer distances, trains, buses, and domestic flights are available. Renting a car can be convenient for exploring rural areas, but be aware of toll roads and ferry crossings. In coastal areas, ferries are an integral part of the transportation network and offer scenic routes through the fjords.
