Norway Travel Guide - Travel Insights and Tips

In line with Bookmundi's vision, we wish to provide our travelers with a sustainable travel experience through Norway. As part of this effort, we carbon offset any Norway tour that you purchase through us. You can read more details about our carbon offsetting program.

Here is what you can do to travel through Norway responsibly:

• Carbon-offset your transport to Norway via Norwegian. The moment your tour starts in Norway, and if you have purchased your tour through Bookmundi, we will carbon-offset your tour from its starting point to its ending point.
• You can donate a small amount to Fjord CleanUp, a group of volunteer divers, paddlers, and walkers that work hard to clean and restore the local fjords every week.
• Eat local and support small museums and art galleries when you visit Norway. Also, purchase souvenirs made by local craftsmen.

• Always pack an extra layer of clothes when traveling through Norway, especially during hikes. The weather can change in a flash, and temperatures drop as you approach higher altitudes.
• Due to “Allemannsretten” (Freedom to Roam), most outdoor locations, national parks, and all public lands are free to use for everyone. However, it is your responsibility to treat nature with respect and ensure you do not leave trash behind.
• Norway is not a cheap country. However, you can still travel on a budget by researching your accommodation options beforehand, choosing public transport, and purchasing raw food items at the supermarket rather than always eating out.
• Although there are more polar bears than there are people in Svalbard, do not expect to see them roaming the streets. You are only likely to encounter them if you roam deep into the wilderness.
• Northern Norway experiences polar nights during the winter, with some parts experiencing up to 24 hours of darkness. However, the opposite occurs during the summer months.
