Most popular things to do in Norway

Natural spectacles such as the fjords, the Aurora Borealis and tranquil mountain landscapes are the highlights of what Norway has to offer. But when you're in Norway, you'll be amazed not only by the wonders but also by the size of the country. Foreign visitors usually underestimate the distances and travel time in Norway, because this European country is truly huge. Norway is like a drawing board where nature wants to show you everything it is capable of.

Norway has less than 5 million inhabitants, but its size is 385,178 km2. Based on this information, you can imagine that this country is sparsely populated. It is bigger than Germany, and the mainland is about 3 times longer.

Watch the northern lights

Red, yellow, green, blue and purple lights in the sky do the big dance in front of the firmament. Although this spectacular sight is only the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere, it never ceases to amaze people. From near and far, they come to watch the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis as some call it. The best time to see the northern lights is between November and February. Travel to Svalbard Island, which is way up in the Arctic. And generally, the higher the latitude, the better your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

Showdown of sunset and sunrise

In Norway, there are extreme differences in light between the seasons. During Polar Night, which lasts from November to January, the sun neither rises nor sets. It just dips into the sea for a bit and immediately reappears in the sky. Then the days gradually get longer until the Midnight Sun period, from May to July, when it never sets. The colours of the sky during this slight movement are remarkable.

Fjords

Western Norway is a region of narrow fjords cutting into high mountains, waterfalls tumbling down the slopes and glaciers that never melt. The Nærøyfjord, the Sognefjord, the Lysefjord and the Geirangerfjord are the most famous fjords in Norway. Tourists appreciate this country not only for its beauty but also because the fjords and surrounding areas give an impression of what Norway used to be like, how people lived in this unimaginably steep and rocky environment.

Mountains rising above an endless sea

There are 291 peaks over 2,000 meters in Norway. This makes the country one of the most popular destinations for alpinists and hikers. Most of the difficult peaks were climbed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by a combination of Norwegian explorers, local guides and British adventurers. If you also want to explore Norway's highest altitudes, you must visit Lom, the municipality in Oppland County. There you will find a whole range of the highest mountains. At 2469 meters, Galdhøpiggen is the highest - in the county and in the country itself.

There are 44 national parks in Norway, seven of which are located on Svalbard. Among the most popular parks are:

- Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park (the largest park in North Norway),

- Rondane National Park (Ideal place to experience the mountains and highlands of Eastern Norway ),
