Frequently asked questions about hotels in Norway
What are the best landmarks to visit in Norway?
Norway boasts incredible landmarks. The iconic fjords, like the Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord (both UNESCO World Heritage sites), are breathtaking. Then there's the majestic Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) offering stunning views, and the Kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two cliffs. For city exploration, Oslo's Viking Ship Museum and Akershus Fortress are fascinating historical sites, while the Holmenkollen Ski Jump provides panoramic city views.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Norway?
Norway offers diverse activities. Hiking in national parks like Jotunheimen or Rondane is a must for nature lovers. Kayaking or boat tours through the fjords provide stunning perspectives. For winter adventures, skiing or snowboarding in resorts like Trysil or Hemsedal are popular. Visiting charming coastal towns like Bergen or Ålesund, exploring the stave churches, and experiencing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in winter are also highly recommended.
The ideal time depends on your preferences. June to August offers long daylight hours, perfect for hiking and exploring. However, it's also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. Shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) offer a balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Winter (November to April) is ideal for the Northern Lights and winter sports, but be prepared for cold temperatures and shorter days.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Norway?
Which areas are best for spending a week in Norway?
A week allows for exploring a region in depth. The fjord region (including Bergen, Geirangerfjord, and Sognefjord) is stunning. Alternatively, exploring the south-west, including Oslo and its surrounding areas, offers a blend of city and nature. For a more northern experience, consider a week in the Lofoten Islands, known for their dramatic landscapes.
Which parts of Norway are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a weekend trip, Oslo is a great choice, offering museums, parks, and a vibrant city atmosphere. Alternatively, Bergen, with its charming Bryggen wharf and easy access to the fjords, makes for a memorable short break. Consider Stavanger, a coastal city with a rich history and proximity to the Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock, for a slightly longer weekend.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Norway?
Renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond major cities and public transport routes. It provides flexibility to reach remote areas and enjoy scenic drives, particularly in the fjords and mountainous regions. However, be aware of toll roads and mountain passes, especially in winter.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Norway?
Yes, credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are widely accepted throughout Norway, in most shops, restaurants, and hotels. However, it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand, particularly for smaller establishments or in more remote areas.
What are the largest airports in Norway?
The largest airports are Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL), serving Oslo, and Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO), serving Bergen. These are the main international gateways, with numerous connections to other Norwegian airports and international destinations.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about in Norway?
Norwegians value politeness and respect for personal space. Queuing is important, and being loud or boisterous in public is generally frowned upon. Learning a few basic Norwegian phrases is appreciated. Generally, Norwegians are reserved but friendly once you get to know them.
What local specialties should you try in Norway?
You must try traditional dishes like smoked salmon, gravlax (cured salmon), and lutefisk (dried cod). Brown cheese (brunost) is a unique and strong cheese. Seafood is abundant and delicious, and you should sample dishes like reindeer stew or fårikål (mutton and cabbage stew) for a taste of Norwegian cuisine.
Where are the best shopping spots in Norway?
Oslo offers a range of shopping experiences, from high-end boutiques in the city centre to department stores like Steen & Strøm. Bergen's Bryggen wharf has charming shops selling local crafts and souvenirs. Larger cities generally have good shopping malls, while smaller towns offer unique local crafts and products.
What signature events or festivals take place in Norway?
Norway hosts many festivals. The Constitution Day (Syttende Mai) on 17 May is a national celebration. Many towns and cities have their own summer festivals, showcasing music and culture. The Bergen International Festival is a significant cultural event. The Holmenkollen Ski Festival is a major winter sports event.
What’s the best place in Norway for mild and comfortable weather?
The southern coast, particularly areas around Stavanger and Kristiansand, generally experience the mildest weather in Norway, with relatively warm summers and less extreme winters compared to the northern regions or the mountains.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Norway?
Underestimating the cost of travel, especially accommodation and activities, is a common mistake. Not packing for all types of weather is another, as conditions can change rapidly. Failing to book accommodation and transport in advance, particularly during peak season, can also lead to problems.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Norway?
The Lofoten Islands offer breathtaking scenery beyond the usual tourist hotspots. The charming town of Åndalsnes, nestled amidst dramatic mountains, is a less-visited gem. Exploring the less-known fjords, such as the Lysefjord (home to the Pulpit Rock) beyond the main tourist trails, reveals stunning natural beauty.
