Norway round trips: Fjords, northern lights and whales
Top offers for Norway
Explore Norway: Untouched nature, tranquil valleys and spectacular road trips
Picture this: you're cruising through the fjell in your hire car, window down, the air as crisp as glacial meltwater. A waterfall plunges into the depths beside you, and suddenly a reindeer appears on the road ahead. Norway doesn't overwhelm you with noise – it stuns you with space. You'll discover fjords that look like they've been carved by giants, mountain passes that spiral up into the sky, and northern lights that dance while you lie wide awake somewhere in the middle of nowhere. A round trip around Norway isn't about ticking off sights – it's about nature that takes your breath away. Every day brings new colours, new routes and new jaw-dropping moments. One minute you're standing on a rocky plateau, speechless because words feel too small. The next you're sitting by the water, the silence crackling around you, and you feel it: this is exactly where you want to be.

What are the must-sees in Norway?
Norway is full of highlights, but these must-sees belong on your bucket list.
City vibes: Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen
Norway's cities surprise you at every corner – sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly, but always vibrantly. In Oslo, you'll stand on the roof of the Opera House, then suddenly find yourself face to face with "The Scream" at the Munch Museum before diving straight into the street art scene of Grünerløkka. In Bergen, you'll wander through Bryggen, where every façade breathes history, before the Fløibanen whisks you swiftly up the city mountain. Trondheim serves you cobblestones, coffee breaks and the Nidaros Cathedral as a stone monument. And Stavanger is colourful, laid-back and the perfect launchpad for your next nature adventure. Every city tells its own story.
Next level nature: Lofoten and Vesterålen
Norway's island worlds are pure visual drama. On the Lofoten Islands, mountains crash straight into the sea, white beaches flash between cliffs – and you're right in the middle of it all. In the morning, you'll wake up in a rorbuer by the water, and in the evening, the northern lights dance above Reine, Svolvær or Henningsvær. During the day, you'll hike past fish racks, climb to viewpoints with 360-degree views and lose all sense of time. The Vesterålen Islands are even rawer, even emptier – and perfect for whale watching. And then there's Senja: Norway's wild beauty – dramatic coastlines, hidden beaches and mountains straight out of a fantasy film. These islands pull you out of everyday life – and into an adventure that stays with you.
Arctic sights: Tromsø, the North Cape and Svalbard
The far north. Arctic air on your face, a sky in motion and nothing but vastness stretching to the horizon. This is where extremes reign – and you're right in the middle of it. In Tromsø, the northern lights dance above snow-covered rooftops, and in Alta you'll chase the flickering green sky. On Svalbard, you'll find glaciers, wind and polar bears instead of people. And at the North Cape, you'll stand on a cliff 300 metres above the Arctic Ocean – the sun sinks but doesn't disappear. You'll steer a dog sled through the white void, climb onto ancient ice and feel it: here the world is still wild. The Arctic challenges you – but what you get back is more than just goosebumps. It's the feeling of finally being completely present.
On the road: the Atlantic Road and Trollstigen
Norway feels like it was made for the perfect road trip. You'll start in the fjell, cruise past tranquil lakes in your hire car and spiral up over Trollstigen – every bend revealing a view, every stop a postcard moment. On the Atlantic Road, the tarmac dances above the sea, and the Flåm Railway takes you through the mountains straight into wonder. In between, you'll discover Preikestolen and Trolltunga – rock formations you won't forget. You'll drive through tunnels, past waterfalls and over bridges into the unknown. Self-drive or round trip, it doesn't matter. What counts is the feeling: out here you're free – and the road is yours.
Norway unplugged: wilderness, vastness and nature
Norway's nature is raw, vast and breathtakingly immediate. In Jotunheimen, you'll encounter stone giants, and in Rondane you'll find wide plateaus and reindeer herds. Dovrefjell is home to musk oxen, while in Hardangervidda National Park you'll hike across windswept highlands. Fjords like Geirangerfjord carve deep into the land, and Sognefjord gleams with silence and space. And then there are the glaciers: Jostedalsbreen flows through the valley like a frozen river – cold, mighty and alive. No noise, no signal – just you and the great outdoors.
