Planning your Norway trip

Best time to go: May to early September usually has the most pleasant weather. Visit from December to April for snow, but coastal areas may have little snow and some mountain roads close in winter.

FjordsDeep fjords are among Norway's main natural sights, often surrounded by mountains and small villages.
Mountains, glaciers and waterfallsNorway has dramatic mountain scenery, permanent snow and many waterfalls. Melting snow makes waterfalls especially impressive in spring.
Stave churchesThese historic wooden churches are cultural treasures, often set in peaceful rural scenery.
Oslo and BergenThese lively cities offer a contrast to Norway's wilderness and rural landscapes.
