Useful Tips

14 days in Norway is a relatively short span to cover everything. For those who want a condensed version of this itinerary, consider cutting down on the activities that are not age-appropriate for your family. We recommend adding extra days and visiting Tromso for the Northern Lights experience during the winter season, and hiking the Trolltunga trail for adventurers in summer. Don't forget to pack warm clothes and comfortable shoes for the hikes and boat rides. Lastly, remember to respect nature and wildlife during your trip in Norway.
