"Scandinavia is just as much and sometimes more about the journey than the destination. It is like watching national geographic out the window as we're driving around the Norwegian Fjords. Driving in to Geiranger in Norway is one of the most stunning drives you can do in the world. I've visited 80 countries and haven't seen any better yet"

Lasse, Travel Director

Our top 5 things to do in Norway

Norway’s intrepid history, emotional terrain and European location provide an intriguing mix of activities. Travel with Trafalgar and we will show you the very best.

Best museums in Norway

With a famed history of explorers from the Vikings to Thor Heyerdahl, the museums we visit have rich stories that combine education and enjoyment. Journey with Trafalgar and you will feel Norway’s history at your fingertips.

Best food in Norway

Enjoy traditional Norwegian food in the very place the meals originated. With simple ingredients and rich flavors, the dishes we share with you on a trip to Norway will connect you with the authentic culinary heritage of the country.

What to pack for a tour in Norway

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Mountain boots

Even if your Norway vacation is more focused on museums and restaurants than trekking and outdoor activities, wearing mountain boots will make you feel at home with the Norwegian spirit. Even if all you do in them is eat fårikål and drink mulled wine.

Sleeping mask

During the Norwegian summer, there are times when the sun never goes down. Pack a sleeping mask if you need a complete blackout in order to sleep.

Sunscreen

Even during the winter, ice fields and glacier territory can reflect the sun and burn your skin. Pack sunscreen to save a crimson glow appearing in your vacation photos.

Plasters

With lots of walking to be done in the forests, mountains and cities, plasters for blisters may prove useful during your trip; particularly if you’re wearing new shoes that haven’t been broken in.

Norway's best season depends on your plans. Summer (June to August) brings long daylight hours, mild temperatures, and stunning fjord cruises.

Spring and autumn offer fewer crowds, colorful landscapes, and perfect hiking conditions to go and see Norway's wonders, including some of tallest waterfalls in the world.

Norway has a varied climate depending on where you are in the country. Coastal areas have mild winters and cool summers due to the Gulf Stream, while inland regions experience cold winters and warm summers. In the north you'll find beautiful wintry Arctic conditions, while the summer brings the famous never-setting midnight sun.

Norway uses the Norwegian Krone (NOK). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always good to have some cash for smaller businesses or remote areas.

Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated. In restaurants, rounding up or leaving 5-10% is common for good service. Taxi drivers and hotel staff also appreciate small tips.

Norway uses Type C and Type F plugs with a voltage of 230V and frequency of 50Hz. Travelers from the UK, US, and other regions may need an adaptor.

Pack layers, as the weather can change quickly. Bring waterproof and windproof clothing, comfortable walking shoes, and in the winter make sure to take warm accessories. Summer travelers should pack light layers and a rain jacket.

Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events.
