Useful Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a stop at the Jostedalsbreen Glacier or Rondane National Park. For a shorter trip, skip the Svalbard Islands, as it is quite far and expensive. Alternatively, spend extra time in the Lofoten Islands for outdoor adventures, or in Trondheim or Bergen for more historical sites and cultural experiences. Remember to check for seasonal closures and weather conditions before booking any activities.
