Norway is an absolutely stunning Scandinavian country to visit! Perched on the northern fringes of Europe, it’s a place that’s filled with the most amazing mountain ranges, beautiful coastline and some pretty cool cities to visit. In fact, there are heaps of the best places in Norway to visit dotted all across the country, which makes it the perfect holiday destination if you love the great outdoors or a little city break. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best of all, there are so many small cities in Norway that you can fly into and start a journey into wider Norway. From vibrant cities like Oslo<\/a> and west-coast cities like Alesund<\/a>, Bergen,<\/span> or Stavanger. Then you’ve got Arctic Circle cities, high in the north, like Tromso. These act like anchor points to get you into Norway and can be great bases to explore the wider, unspoilt regions of Norway. For instance, cities like Bergen are great starting points to explore some of the best Norwegian Fjords. You’ll be spoilt for choice. <\/p>\n

Over the years, we’ve visited Norway many times. Each time has been totally different, in the best possible way! So, to help you get the most out of your trip, I’m sharing our very best places in Norway you can’t miss when you visit. This way, you don’t get bogged down in the planning and can focus on that all-important holiday time! Have the best time visiting Norway, it really is so special.<\/p>\n

1.) Atlanterhavsveien (The Atlantic Road)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Just north of the beautiful city of Alesund is the Atlanterhavsveien<\/em>, commonly known as the Atlantic Road<\/em> in English. Connecting the mainland of Norway with the dramatic island of Aver\u00f8ya (Google Maps pin<\/a>), it’s a great place to drive for the day, especially if you’re already driving between the cities of Alesund and Trondheim. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the Atlantic Road<\/em> might not be the longest stretch of drive, but it’s certainly dramatic and totally incredible. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the best driving areas in all of Europe for views and uniqueness. Along the drive, you’ll head over many little Norwegian islands via the bridges of  Hulv\u00e5gen. It’s incredible and one epic drive you can’t miss in Norway. <\/p>\n

Now, being open to the Atlantic Ocean, this area can get blustery at times. Pack plenty of layers if you do plan on stopping on the island of Aver\u00f8ya. Just in case the Atlantic wind picks up! <\/span><\/p>\n

Looking for a retreat hotel whilst driving the Atlantic Road<\/em>? Well, you’ll want to check into Korsholmen (a Classic Norway Hotel<\/a>). It’s perched on its very own tiny Norwegian Island<\/a>, just off the shores of the larger Hendholmen island. This place is a Norwegian gem of a hotel<\/a>. There are very few times you can actually say, “hey, I’m staying on my own island”. This is one of those times! Make sure to book this suite at Korsholmen<\/a> as soon as you know your plans – spaces fill up fast. After all, it’s a small hideaway. <\/p>\n

While in the wider region around the Atlantic Road<\/em>, make sure to visit Kvernes Stave Church (Google Maps pin<\/a>). It\u2019s around 600 years old and one of the oldest in the region. Oh, and be sure to <\/span>keep your eyes peeled for Storseisundet Bridge, too. To be honest, you can’t miss it! It really is one of the best places in Norway to visit on a road trip! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Lofoten region of Norway might just be one of the most recognisable coastal landscapes in Northern Europe. It’s stunning, awe-inspiring and totally unspoilt. It’s easily one of the best places in Norway to visit, especially if you’re driving south from cities like Tromso.<\/p>\n

Though be aware that the drive is over 500Km and it’ll take you close to 9 hours, without even stopping for a break. This isn’t a drive you do in one go. Stop off, take the drive slow and enjoy the landscape. <\/p>\n

If you want to fly into another spot close to Lofoten, try flying into Harstad Narvik Airport in Evenes (Google Maps pin<\/a>). This can be much easier if you’re planning on a more localised Norway trip around Lofoten itself. <\/p>\n

Now, for us, Hamn\u00f8y is where it is at! You have to make sure to visit the tiny little fishing village of Hamn\u00f8y, which is the oldest in Lofoten. Perched on the edge of the Reinefjord (fjord), it really is a place you shouldn\u2019t miss. This gorgeous (and historic) fishing town is totally iconic, picture-perfect and effortlessly dramatic. It’s amazing. Not only that, it’s really easy to visit when driving around Lofoten as it’s one of the key stopping points along the E10 road that you’ll follow. <\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to take in all the views from these specific spots. We loved this viewpoint (Google Maps pin<\/a>) that’s on the nearby island of Topp\u00f8ya. Also, you’ll find one of the most iconic viewpoints from the (Google Maps pin<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, if you want a little bit of a trek, for one of the best views in all of Norway, head to Reinebringen (Google Maps pin<\/a>) close by. The views from here at sunset and sunrise are honestly out-of-this-world. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that this view is one of the very best places in Norway that you can’t miss in the wider Lofoten region.<\/p>\n

It’s that beautiful! Heads up, though, what might seem like a relatively easy hike (if you’re experienced), it does have close to two thousand steps and some pretty vertigo-inducing views. If you don’t like heights and the pretty intense step incline, I’d give this one a miss.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I nearly forgot! Another gem of an island to visit in Lofoten is Moskenes\u00f8ya, especially the town of Reine (Google Maps pin<\/a>). This is another one of the best places in Norway to visit, as you drive along the E10 road, and it’s so easy to visit after spending some time in Hamn\u00f8y. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nestled on the island of Moskenes\u00f8ya, it is actually part of the Lofoten set of islands and archipelago that makes this region so gorgeous. <\/span>For a stunning experience, wrap up warm (with plenty of layers) and head to Bunes Beach (Google Maps pin<\/a>). You will need to get a ferry from Reine (which needs to be pre-booked on the ferry website<\/a> – no exceptions). After a 40-minute ferry ride, you’ll have about a 60-minute hike to Bunes Beach – one of the most unspoilt, beautiful and serene beaches in Europe. Yes, the water might be chilly, but the views are spectacular. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, another gem of a beach in Lofoten is Kvalvika Beach (Google Maps pin<\/a>). This beach doesn’t require any long ferries, but it will require a small hike along the Kvalvika Beach Trail within Lofotodden National Park itself. Totally stunning. <\/p>\n

Looking for a great hotel to stay in Lofoten? Make sure to book this room at Henningsv\u00e6r Bryggehotell<\/a>. It’s right within the heart of Henningsv\u00e6r, on the island, and this ocean view suite<\/a> is so stunning. We love it. <\/p>\n

Made up of traditional Norwegian houses, this stunning hotel feels like you’re part of the community here in Lofoten. Not only that, this Lofoten hotel<\/a> so welcoming, and the rooms are so cosy! Plus, they run Northern Lights safaris and other excursions right from the hotel itself. It’s so good. <\/p>\n

Over the years, we’ve visited Bergen quite a few times. It’s one of the larger Norwegian cities on the west coast, and so easy to visit if you’re looking for direct flights from other parts of Europe. Not only that, you’ll find that some cruise ships and expedition tours stop off at Bergen, too. We love the city, and it’s easily one of the best places in Norway to visit if you want a little city break, with easy access to the great outdoors. <\/p>\n

Not only is Bergen a great city to explore, but it’s also one that\u2019s steeped in history. Make sure you wander through the wooden buildings and crooked wharf that is Bryggen<\/a> (or Tyskebryggen), a UNESCO-protected site, that still stands to this day. It’s centuries old (around 700 years or so), and you can still walk around the old fishing area to this day. Once here, you’ll be able to stop in the little cafes, art stalls, foodie spots or just take a wander along the wooden verandas. It’s such a special part of Bergen, and you honestly cannot miss it.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a great hotel in Bergen, make sure to book Opus 16. It’s a Small Luxury Hotels property<\/a> and is a total oasis in the city. We loved staying here, especially in their Suite Colonialmajoren<\/a> (which is so iconic). Plus, Opus 16<\/a> is right in the centre of Bergen, making it the perfect place to stay to stroll around the city. <\/p>\n

Also, for a yummy Norwegian restaurant just shy of Bryggen, make sure to stop off at Bryggeloftet Restaurant<\/a>, that’s been going since 1910. They focus specifically on Norwegian dishes like reindeer steak, Norwegian mussels and fiskesuppe<\/em> (a creamy Norwegian fish soup) that is so good. <\/p>\n

This is the perfect place to visit just before sunset, when you’ll get some incredible views over the city of Bergen.

Fl\u00e5m might just be one of the most famous, but pretty small towns to visit in Norway. You see, it’s not only on the picture-perfect. You see, Fl\u00e5m sits right at the edge of the Aurlandsfjord, one of the longest and deepest fjords to visit in Norway. It’s stunning.<\/p>\n

Though, don’t worry if you don’t fancy driving up the side of the cliffs and fjord edge, you can book this really helpful Stegastein Viewpoint tour<\/a> from Fl\u00e5m, which makes the whole trip really easy.<\/p>\n

Just be sure to book this Stegastein Viewpoint tour<\/a> well in advance, especially during cruise ship season when spaces fill up so fast. It’s so worth it, and the views, and you get to see all across the Aurlandsfjord are mind-blowing. <\/p>\n

Their roasted reindeer and scallops are so delicious. <\/p>\n

Easy to get to via international flights, Oslo is a great place for a weekend trip, before heading further down the coast or inland towards the fjords. Though Oslo isn’t just a stepping stone to other destinations in Norway. It’s a destination in its own right. <\/p>\n

In terms of size, the centre of Oslo is surprisingly small (if you\u2019re coming from places like London). Though don’t let its small size put you off, it’s got heaps to see and do whilst you’re here. From unique shops, gorgeous art, to some iconic buildings, you shouldn\u2019t miss.<\/span><\/p>\n

So much so that I’d say it’s one of the best places in Norway to visit within the Arctic Circle.

Once here, make sure to book a spa boat whilst in Tromso itself. Yup, you heard that right! <\/span>There\u2019s a dedicated spa boat in the Arctic Circle<\/a> that you can hop on and discover more of the best places in Norway.  <\/span>Moored in Tromso<\/a>, it\u2019s best to book your tickets online and arrive in plenty of time before the boat leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing about the boat, called the Vulcana<\/a>, is that it\u2019s totally luxurious and one of the best Spa breaks<\/a> I could ever have wished for. <\/span>I mean, where can you dip into a piping hot tub, bathe in a steam room, relax in a sauna and watch whales from the deck – all whilst cruising through the Arctic Circle? <\/span>Without sounding too cheesy, it really is magical. Make sure to take a dip in the almost freezing sea too. As you can see from my face, I let out the biggest scream once I hopped in!<\/span><\/p>\n

Though if that doesn’t float your boat, make sure to explore the wider city of Tromso itself. You can easily head up on the Fjellheisen Cable Car<\/a> and see the views from Mount Fl\u00f8ya. It’s so beautiful from up here, and the views are incredible on a sunny day. <\/p>\n

Afterwards, don’t forget to book this reindeer sledge tour<\/a> in the Arctic tundra.

Along the way, you’ll go reindeer sleighing (with these tickets)<\/a>, have a chance to feed your reindeer and have a yummy lunch and hot drinks for yourself. It’s the best experience for adults and kids, too. We loved this tour from Tromso<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It’s about an 80-minute drive from the centre of Tromso and well worth booking as the drive around this area of the Arctic Circle is just spectacular.  Not only that, the hotel is such a delight and an oasis within the great outdoors of Norway.

8.) Borgund (Stave Church)<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

Known locally, in Norwegian, as the Borgund Stavkyrkje (Borgund Stave Church) (Google Maps pin<\/a>), this unique and totally Norwegian church dates back centuries and is amazing to see. It was built around 900 years ago, and its history still lasts to this day! Plus, it’s really easy to visit if you’re already driving down the E16 road. <\/p>\n

It’s one of the best examples of a Norwegian Medieval church you can see, and it still stands proudly to this day. Now, you do need tickets to get in (which you can get on their website<\/a>), but it’s worth the small entry fee to see this iconic sight whilst driving around Norway. Plus, it’s one of the best places in Norway to explore, whilst in the wider area near Jotunheimen National Park. <\/p>\n

9.) Helgeland<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

A few hundred kilometres south of Lofoten, Helgeland is a region of Norway that gets fewer visitors than big-hitting destinations like the Gerangierfjord or Fl\u00e5m, for instance. That being said, it’s an unspoilt paradise and one of the best places in Norway to visit if you really want to travel off-the-grid. <\/p>\n

Now, for me, the easiest and iconic places to explore around Helgeland are the islands and the coastline. It’s quite easy to drive Highway 17 through this stunning area of Norway. Along the way, you can take detours to explore islands like S\u00f8r Her\u00f8y (Google Maps pin<\/a>), Vega (Google Maps pin<\/a>) and D\u00f8nna (Google Maps pin<\/a>). They’re incredible places to visit. Not only that, you’ve got the Svartisen National Park if you want to venture inland to the mountains. Though we’d only recommend this with a guide. The terrain can be tough, and the weather unpredictable in should season months or winter. <\/p>\n

Between Lofoten and Tromso, Senja is an island just off the coastline of mainland Norway that is so beautiful to visit. Easily reached via the bridge that connects the town of Silsand (Google Maps pin<\/a>) to the mainland, it’s an island that’s an amazing place to explore if you’ve already decided to take the long drive between Tromso and Lofoten. <\/p>\n

Once on Senja, you’ll be able to explore the waterfall at Storforsen, head on some of the hiking trails at \u00c5nderdalen National Park and see some of the most picture-perfect coastline around the small town of Flakstadv\u00e5g. It’s a stunning, remote and rural island, which makes for a perfect getaway if you want a quieter trip in the great outdoors of Norway.<\/p>\n

It’s totally iconic, scary if you have even a slight fear of heights, but the views are incredible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about the hike. The hike to Pulpit Rock (return) takes around 4-5 hours, but it depends on how fast, fit and experienced you are. I’d say this is a high for experienced ramblers and hikers, but not the more advanced or challenging. That being said, if you’re new to hiking, only go to Pulpit Rock with a guide<\/a>. There’s lots of varied terrain, rocks and sheer drops you’ll need to contend with.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hike itself is so amazing, like we said! Just be prepared for changing weather conditions and be extra careful once you reach the top. Hikers have died falling off the ledge, especially during high winds, and it’s no fun for anyone to be surrounded by reckless hikers. Also, it goes without saying, d<\/span>on\u2019t risk getting too close to the edge. After all, it\u2019s a 600+ metre (2000 ft) almost vertical drop! Without sounding too much like a parent, always be sensible and safe on these hikes. It’s one of the best places in Norway to visit if you love hiking, and well worth the adventure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to visit when the puffins are home. If you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll spot thousands in and around this unspoilt landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

We absolutely love the coastline around Alessund, and the whole island region around the west coast makes for the perfect area to book a boat tour. You will love it. <\/p>\n

Possibly one of the easiest glaciers to visit around Stryn, the Briksdalsbreen Glacier (Google Maps pin<\/a>) is truly one of the best places in Norway you should see. <\/span>The Glacier itself is an \u2018offshoot\u2019 or arm of the much larger Jostedalsbreen Glacier (Google Maps pin<\/a>), which is also amazing to see (but harder to get to). So if you\u2019re looking for a challenge, maybe look for another route\/glacier.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I mentioned, it\u2019s a pretty easy glacier to see if you\u2019re struggling with some of Norway\u2019s more challenging hikes, especially due to the troll cars that will take you up to the top. If you do decide to hike, it\u2019s a pretty short 45-60 minutes to the glacier. Though be warned, weather conditions can change in almost an instant. Be prepared, stay safe, and always go with a guide if you have any doubt at all. After all, no one likes a reckless hiker! <\/span><\/p>\n

Svalbard is one of the most unique places in the world to visit. Not only that, it’s easily up there as one of the best places in Norway to visit if you want an adventure. You see, this archipelago of islands, a few hours’ flight north of Tromso, is the perfect destination to visit if you want to see polar bears! <\/p>\n

Now, for most visitors to Svalbard, you’ll start your adventure in Longyearbyen. Perched on Spitsbergen Island in Svalbard, Longyearbyen is a cosy little place that is pretty remote (even by Norwegian standards). Perched high within the Arctic Circle, it\u2019s a pretty wild and awe-inspiring place to visit and likely the place you’ll want to stay whilst visiting Svalbard itself. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

From here, you\u2019ll be able to join a few designated and responsible Svalbard tours<\/a> that\u2019ll take you deeper into the islands in the search for polar bears.  <\/span>Make sure to also include a visit to the North Pole Expedition Museum<\/a> and see the intimate Galleri Svalbard showcasing local art. <\/span>For some tasty grub, head over to Gruvelageret, known for its delicious dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t forget to book this tour to the Global Seed Vault<\/a> that acts as a depository of the world’s seeds in case of extinction. It’s such a cool concept, and with this tour, you can actually visit!<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

For a great hotel in Svalbard, make sure to book Mary-Ann’s Polarrigg<\/a>. It’s right in the heart of Longyearbyen, which makes it a great base to anchor yourself whilst visiting Svalbard. With cosy rooms and lovely communal areas, it’s a total respite from the Arctic winds outside. <\/p>\n

Otherwise, the hike can be beyond hard and almost arduous for non-experts. Just make sure to book this Trolltunga tour<\/a> in advance. Spaces fill up fast at peak times of the year!<\/span><\/p>\n

Important: Between mid-October and mid-March, you should not hike on the trail. At this time of year, it\u2019s very dangerous and not even recommended for the most experienced of hikers. Always listen to local and official advice.<\/span><\/p>\n
