Norway: Fjords, mountains, midnight sun.
About Norway
Norway's fjords - deep, cliff-lined inlets like the Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord - are the country's signature draw, best experienced by a combination of scenic train, ferry, and coastal drive. Bergen's colorful harbor and Oslo's design-forward capital add city time to what is primarily a landscape-led itinerary.

Norway's climate varies by region: mild along the coast due to the Gulf Stream, colder inland and in the north. Summer (June to August) brings the midnight sun in northern Norway; winter is best for the northern lights. Best time to visit: June to August for the midnight sun and fjord travel, or September to March for the northern lights.
The Bergen Railway and coastal ferries are the classic ways to see the fjords. Oslo and Bergen have efficient local transit, while a rental car offers the most flexibility for the fjord region.
Excellent 4G/5G coverage even in fairly remote areas. Free Wi-Fi is standard in hotels and cafes.
Norway uses the Norwegian Krone, not the Euro, as Norway is not an EU member. Cards, including contactless, are accepted almost everywhere; cash is rarely needed.
Norway is known for hand-knitted wool sweaters, troll figurines, silverware, and smoked salmon. Most shops close early on Sundays.
Norway applies a standard VAT rate of 25%, with reduced rates on food (15%) and passenger transport (12%). As a non-EU country, visitors can claim a refund on purchases over 315 NOK from a single store, processed at the border on departure.
