Norway

Planning a trip to Norway? It’s easy to see why this has become such a popular destination in Scandinavia! Here’s where you can find our best Norway travel tips, fjord guides, and much more.

Our first Norway Trip was back in 2018 on a three day layover in the city of Bergen. After exploring the city, local fish market, and taking a boat tour of the Mostraumen Fjord, we knew we had to return to this amazing country. 

In 2022, we made our way back for an epic one week road trip. We started off in the capital of Oslo, rented a car, and then headed off to see some  Norway’s most beautiful fjords.

As you can see from our articles below, there were so many highlights along this journey! This included riding the famous train from Flam, and even getting views of Geiranger from the Skywalk.

Many travelers will start their journey by flying into Oslo or Bergen, and renting a car from there. We actually took an overnight cruise with DFDS from Copenhagen to Oslo port.

You can check out our Norway travel guides for tips, and to hear all about our own experiences. We’re already planning our next Norway trip, so stay tuned!
