1. Is Norway an expensive destination?
Yes, Norway is among Europe’s costliest countries, especially for dining and accommodation. Smart planning—early transport bookings, included hotel breakfasts and picnics—helps balance the budget.
2. When is the best time to visit Norway for the fjords?
Late May to September is ideal. Summer offers long daylight hours and easier access to fjords, roads and hiking trails, though it’s also the busiest season.
3. Is it easy to travel around Norway without a car?
Very. Norway’s trains, ferries and buses are efficient, scenic and well-connected, making car-free travel entirely feasible for most itineraries.
4. How many days are enough for a first trip to Norway?
Seven to ten days works well if you focus on one region. With about two weeks, you can comfortably combine two regions without rushing.
5. Is Norway safe for travellers exploring nature independently?
Yes, but weather changes quickly. Checking forecasts, carrying proper gear and informing someone of your plans are essential when heading outdoors.
