Viking Ship Museum, Vigeland Sculpture Park, Munch Museum. Kayak the Oslofjord islands. Aker Brygge waterfront for Norwegian seafood — king crab and reindeer carpaccio. The Oslo Pass covers all public transport and museums.
📅 Bergen & the Fjords
The Bergen Railway — one of the world's great train journeys across the Hardangervidda plateau. Bergen: the Bryggen wharf (UNESCO), Fløibanen funicular, fish market. Norway in a Nutshell tour — train, fjord ferry, and mountain railway in one day.
📅 Preikestolen & Kjerag
Hike Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) — 4hrs return, 600m sheer cliff over the Lysefjord. Kjerag — the famous boulder wedged in a mountain crevice 1,000m above the fjord. Both are among Europe's most dramatic hikes.
📅 Tromsø & Northern Lights
Fly to Tromsø for the Northern Lights (Oct–Mar). Guided chase tour by minibus. Also: dog sled, snowshoeing. The Arctic Cathedral is one of Norway's most striking buildings.
💡 Key tips: Norway is extremely expensive — pack a supermarket lunch every day. Preikestolen needs no guide — just good shoes and an early 7am start to beat crowds. For Northern Lights: check yr.no (Norwegian weather app).
