Norway’s fjord-riven coastline, sheer sided mountains and colourful villages are a real head-turner. In the summer, long days and pleasant temperatures invite independent exploration, while in winter it’s all about activities by day and cosy cabins by night with chances of the aurora overhead. Our Norway travel guide offers tips of things to see and do as well as useful information for visitors.
Budding eagle spotter? Lofoten is the go-to place for sea eagle spotting, but you're looking for front row seats, jump in a RIB boat. A speedy 20 minute ride takes you to nearby islands where you can see them nesting, and diving for fish just a few metres from the boat. Amazing scenes.
