Travel tips for Norway

  • 1

    Pack layers—Norway’s weather changes rapidly, even in summer, so be prepared for sun, rain, and wind in a single day.

  • 2

    Use the efficient public transport system, especially the scenic train routes like the Bergen Railway, to explore without a car.

  • 3

    Always check for the ‘midnight sun’ or ‘polar night’ depending on your travel dates—it dramatically changes the experience in northern regions.
