Norway in 4 days: The itinerary you've been looking for
What's the story
With its stunning fjords and mesmerizing northern lights, Norway promises a unique travel experience. In merely four days, you can soak in the natural beauty and cultural richness of this Scandinavian country. From cruising through majestic fjords to watching the aurora borealis dance across the sky, Norway promises an unforgettable adventure. Here's how you can make the most of a short trip to Norway.
Fjord cruise
Cruising through majestic fjords
A cruise through Norway's fjords is a must-do. The Sognefjord, also famously known as the King of Fjords, stretches over 200 kilometers inland from the coast. Tourists can take a scenic boat tour to witness the towering cliffs and serene waters. The Naeroyfjord branch is especially narrow and dramatic, giving you breathtaking views best experienced from the water.
Aurora viewing
Chasing the Northern Lights
The northern lights are one of nature's most spectacular phenomena. Thanks to its location within the Arctic Circle, Tromso is an ideal place to see the lights. Visitors should time their trip between September and March for the best chances of witnessing this natural wonder. As clearer skies increase visibility, it is advisable to check weather forecasts before heading out.
Oslo visit
Exploring Oslo's cultural scene
Oslo is a combination of modern architecture and rich history. The Viking Ship Museum has ancient times' well-preserved ships, while the Vigeland Park has hundreds of sculptures by artist Gustav Vigeland. A walk down Karl Johans gate takes you to shops, cafes, and the historic Royal Palace.
Bergen hike
Hiking in Bergen's surroundings
Bergen is also a gateway to some of the most stunning hiking trails, which has panoramic views over fjords and mountains alike. Whether you opt to take the funicular railway or hike up to Mount Floyen, either way, the sweeping vistas at its summit point overlooking the Bergen cityscape below, will be rewarding.
