Travel Tips
- Norway has four very distinct seasons with weather to match. To avoid disappointment, always research whether your trails or other attractions are open during your visit.
- Don’t worry about learning Norwegian before you visit. Most people living in Norway have a great command of the English language.
- If there’s one thing you can’t miss during your stay in Norway, it’s their salmon.
- Visiting Norway as part of a spa holiday? Be aware of etiquette and always shower before entering the sauna. Some hotels also hire ‘washing women’ to clean you!
- Be sure to plan your days in advance, as travelling around the country’s near 150,000 square miles isn’t always easy or fast.
- Are you outdoorsy? Norway is the perfect holiday for you. “Allemannsretten (freedom to roam)" is a traditional Norwegian right, which means you can pitch your tent just about anywhere for an overnight stay.
