What makes Norway a must-visit destination?

Encompassing the mountains, the giant glaciers and the deep sea fjords, Norway is a Scandinavian Country. Being a home to the vikings, Norway has been exhibiting the boldness and determination of the past with its culture and local vibe. Also known as the “land of midnight sun”, Norway is famed for the magical phenomenon of northern lights.  The skies of Norway have always been the most attractive part about it. The glistening waves of lights in the midnight in the form of “lights” have attracted flocks of tourists towards it from all over the world. Apart from this, its scenic fjords and phenomenal lakes further make it an even more beautiful country to visit as a tourist.

Taking you to the middle of the Aurora region, the city of Tromsø is one of the most famous attractions of Norway. From here, you can glance at the beautiful scenery painted in the skies by auroras. Places like Lofoten Islands, Lynjenfjord and Alta are also known to offer numerous pretty views and further attract numerous visitors from all over the world. From camping throughout the night to enjoying the beautiful phenomenon of the Northern Lights, there are numerous activities which can be enjoyed in Norway. Oslo, the Capital of Norway is further a home to numerous famous places and attractions, tours of which can be easily done.

Norway stays cold most of the time and the winters here are generally bitterly cold. While most parts of the country remain blanketed in snow, you will find many famous places here which will be perfect to visit in winters as well. The months of January and February are dark and the coldest hence make sure that you visit here from April to October.

There's a lot going on in Oslo, Norway's city, which has been designated as Europe's Green Capital for 2019. A cutting-edge culinary culture, fresh and eccentric communities, a jam-packed event calendar, and many new museums and activities are just a few of the highlights to look forward to. Surrounded by the Oslofjord and deep woods, you can effortlessly mix the urban environment with outdoor activities like cycling, skiing, and island hopping.

In the Lyngenfjord region, enjoy excellent skiing and hiking opportunities, learn about Sami culture in places like Karasjok and Alta, and go to the North Cape, Europe's northernmost point. The Varanger peninsula, which is a bird watcher's heaven, is situated in the eastern half of this enormous territory. In Kirkenes, you may go king crab fishing and dog sledding, as well as stay in an ice hotel for the night.

Bergen and the Western Fjords

Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, combines historical Heritage Sites with contemporary fashion, fashionable eateries, and a dynamic music scene. Visit several of the country's best museums, such as the KODE art museums and composer residences, get mesmerized in the city's cobblestone lanes, and enjoy a bird's eye view of the city from one of the seven surrounding mountain peaks.

Bergen is the entrance to several of Norway's finest notable fjords, such as the Sognefjord in the north, which is Norway's longest and deepest fjord, and the Hardangerfjord in the south, which is home to the famed highland plateau Trolltunga.

The Stavanger Region

The Seven Sisters and a slew of other waterfalls cascade down steep mountain slopes into the pure, blue waters of Norway's most famous fjord, the Geirangerfjord, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lesund, a charming art nouveau village, is an excellent place to begin a fjord experience.

The Northwest, located in northern Fjord Norway, is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The mountain climbing center of Andalsnes is a perfect base here, since it is encircled by towering peaks and is only a good drive away from world-famous sites like the Trollstigen mountain route and the Atlantic Road.

We recently planned our Norway and Finland trip with Thrillophilia, and it turned out to be a really memorable experience.The hotels were comfortable and well-located, making it easy to get around and explore nearby areas. Transfers and arrangements were handled efficiently, so we didn’t have to worry about logistics at all. The Thrillophilia team stayed supportive throughout the trip, always available to help whenever needed, which made the experience stress-free.

A Dream Nordic Trip with Thrillophilia My husband and I had been planning a Norway and Denmark trip for three years. Thrillophilia made it happen and beyond our expectations. Hotels were well located in each city and the itinerary gave enough free time to explore on our own which we appreciated. Guide was knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the places. Suggestion a bit more proactive communication during the initial planning stage would have been helpful. But once the trip started, everything was absolutely seamless. We return with hearts full of memories. Will plan Iceland with Thrillophilia next.

We did Europe trip covering Norway and Denmark through Thrillophilia. One thing I would say is the itinerary was provided mostly by us through back and forth discussion rather than Thrillophilia proactively proposing a structure, which added some effort on our side during planning. On the ground everything executed well. Hotels were good. Would travel with them again.
