Things to Do in Norway

When you are in Norway, there is no reason to stay indoors, unless it's winter. From cycling to wildlife watching, from Oslo to Svalbard, here are the top things to do in Norway:

  • Skiing

The tales of legendary Norwegian Sondre Norheim, often credited as the pioneer of modern skiing, are widespread in Norway. Skiing is deep rooted in Norwegian traditions and rituals. If you want to enjoy it, try a cross-country skiing trip in a forest. Carry your lunch along with foam pads to sit and ask a local to get the details right.

  • Hiking

    Exploring the mountains and embracing the beauty of nature is a way of life for the locals. Summer and autumn are the times when locals gear up with their walking boots and are also accompanied by numerous tourists who share the same love for nature. The most popular attractions amongst tourists are Preikestolen, Bessegen, Galdhopiggen and Romsdalshornet.

  • Cycling

    Cycling in Norway is challenging because of the mountainous terrain, but even if the roads won't take your breath away, the scenery will. Try the Kystriksveien Coastal Road, Lofoten or Vesteralen islands, Rallarvegen (The Navvy Road) or the ten national cycling routes.

  • Fishing
  • Even the Guardian once wrote, “Norway – where Cod is God”. With cold and clear waters and sustainable environment, the Norwegian seas have abundant stocks of cods and many other fish. Enjoy fishing under the midnight sun during balmy summers or freezing winters.

  • Canoeing and Kayaking

    The best way to get up close and personal with Norwegian fjords is through canoes and kayaks. Carry a tent, camping stove and fishing net along with your canoe and enjoy the inland lakes and rivers.

  • Wildlife Safaris

    Norway is the best place to get close to whales, king crabs, sea eagles and musk oxen. It is the last home to some of Europe's last mesmerising wildlife. Go for a wildlife safari to see the intriguing species in an organised manner.

  • Natural Attractions

    The glaciers, mountains and waterfalls in Norway are absolutely raw and serene. Natural wonders like fjords and aurora borealis makes the country even more mesmerising. But the biggest wonder is exploring nature and wild life under the midnight sun.

  • Art and Culture

    Norway's art and culture can be witnessed in the architecture of its buildings and museums. The new age of designers and artists are making a global mark while rediscovering the classic icons. Visit the numerous museums and traditional buildings to get a flavour of Norwegian culture.

  • Shopping

    Norway is not a low priced nation by any means; however, you can find true gems in low budget as well, if you are aware of what you want to buy. The appeal for Scandinavian designs has increased significantly in the past decade and is evidently witnessed in the surge of shoppers. Furniture, lighting, carpet, jewellery and other décor items are popular among shoppers.

Deepti Sehgal

I already had a few unfortunate experiences in the past where I had fallen sick abroad. I wanted an assurance and peace of mind on my trip to Oslo. Although I didn't fall sick this time but thanks to ICICI Lombard, I had assurance and peace of mind.

Mrs. Nandita Makhija

My husband suffered a horrific injury while walking at the airport in Norway. Thankfully, we had opted for ICICI Lombard international travel insurance. All medical expenses including consultation and treatment fees was refunded on time by ICICI Lombard. We ultimately had to cancel the trip further. I would recommend ICICI Lombard to others as well.
