North of the Arctic Circle lies a world of extreme beauty. The Lofoten and Vesterålen islands offer dramatic peaks rising from the sea, fishing villages and excellent opportunities to see the Northern Lights. Tromsø is the vibrant capital of the Arctic.

The capital is a world-class city, with museums such as the new Munch Museum and the National Museum, innovative architecture and a lively cultural scene. Southern Norway offers a gentler coast, with charming white villages and a milder climate.

Sail through a Fjord

Taking a cruise through fjords such as the Geirangerfjord or the Nærøyfjord, both World Heritage Sites, is the quintessential Norwegian experience. Navigating between vertical rock walls more than a thousand meters high, with waterfalls rushing into the water, is a lesson in humility in the face of the scale and power of nature.

Conquer a Rock Pulpit

Make the trek to Preikestolen (the Pulpit), a square rock platform that juts 604 meters above the Lysefjord. The hike is demanding, but the reward is one of the most iconic and dizzying views in the world. For the more adventurous, the challenge of Trolltunga is even greater.

Spending the night awake under the Midnight Sun

In summer, north of the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets. Experiencing the golden light of the night, taking a midnight walk or simply sitting and contemplating a landscape that never gets dark is a surreal and magical experience.

Hunt the Northern Lights

On the long winter nights, travel to northern Norway, to places like Tromsø or the Lofoten Islands, to witness the spectacle of the northern lights. Seeing those curtains of green, pink and violet light dance silently in the sky is a moment that remains etched in memory forever.

Driving the Atlantic Highway

Traveling the 8 kilometers of the Atlanterhavsveien is one of the most spectacular driving experiences in the world. The highway jumps from island to island through a system of bridges that seem to defy the force of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a feat of engineering in a wild environment.

Stroll along the Bryggen Pier in Bergen

Exploring the World Heritage Site of Bryggen Pier is like traveling back in time to the days of the Hanseatic League. Its colorful wooden houses, narrow passageways and artists' workshops create a unique atmosphere in the rainiest and one of the most beautiful cities in Norway.

Tips for Culture & Heritage

Cost of living

Norway is an extremely expensive country. Alcohol has very high taxes. Plan your budget carefully, take advantage of supermarkets for 'matpakke' (takeaway) and book in advance.

Allemannsretten (Right of Access)

This 'right to roam' allows you to camp freely on uncultivated land for one or two nights, as long as you are more than 150 meters from the nearest house. It is a privilege that comes with the responsibility of leaving no trace.

Internal Transportation

Renting a car is the best way to explore flexibly, but it is expensive and the distances are long. Trains offer scenic routes (such as the Oslo-Bergen line). Buses and ferries are essential to connect the network of fjords and towns.
