Norway is so spectacular that the more days you spend exploring, the better! If you are traveling here for an Oslo getaway, then 4-6 days should be enough for the thorough city tour. However, if you are interested in Norway's breathtaking nature, you should dedicate at least one week for this type of vacation. Many of the country's must-visit landmarks are located up north, while the urban city life is down south, so just the logistics of your trip will need more time. Two weeks in Norway is the ideal duration for your trip, during which you will manage to see both the city life and come close to the extraordinary nature.

One of the most asked questions when building an itinerary is which stops to include in your Norway trip, or in other words, which cities are worth stopping for. Among the tourists, the most-loved cities are Alesund and Bergen. Both feature amazing Scandinavian style houses, incredible sceneries of fjords, and a unique atmosphere. Bergen is famous for its colorful harbor, and Alesund can't be beaten in terms of the cozy narrow streets and fjord backdrop. If you can visit them both, you won't regret this decision!

Unlike Italy, where summers are boiling, Norway cannot brag about high degree bars during the hottest season. From June to August, the weather is pleasantly warm and can arguably be the best time to explore this Scandinavian country. Temperature is the highest in July when it reaches around 19°C on average. However, if you choose to go then, you should book in advance as this is when crowds of tourists flood the streets of popular cities and other famous attractions. Therefore, if you like mild weather and want to avoid the peak of tourism in Norway, plan your trip in spring - April or May. We do not advise visiting in September - November as it is very rainy in Norway.

There are plenty of reasons why Norway should be on your travel bucket list. If you are a nature lover, you won't find a destination that matches Norway's breathtaking rugged fjords, incredible landscapes, and wintery scenery. While on a trip to this Scandinavian destination, you absolutely must ride one of the most scenic railways in the world - Flambsana, connecting Flam and Myrdal in the south of Norway. An hour-long train journey fills you with unforgettable views of Norwegian nature and fjords. However, fjord cruise is another excellent option to observe the country's magnificent natural wonders and even witness the largest mammal on our planet - Whales. In addition, Norway is also an impeccable location to gaze at the magical phenomenon of Northern Lights, taking place beneath the Arctic Circle, in the very north of the country. On another note, you don't even need a reason to visit Norway. Just come here without any preset expectations and let Norway surprise you.
