Consider renting a car to have the flexibility to travel at your own pace and explore remote areas. If you don't want to drive, you can take trains or buses between major cities and then use local transportation or taxis to move around.
The estimated cost of a rental car for 10 days is about $600, while the cost of train or bus tickets varies depending on the distance and time of travel.
If you have less time, focus on visiting the major cities and fjords, such as Oslo, Bergen, Flåm, and Geirangerfjord. If you have more time, consider visiting other natural parks or islands, such as Rondane National Park or Senja. Pack warm clothes and rain gear, as the weather can be unpredictable and chilly, especially in the mountains or near the coast.
