Top Tips

Check your fitness

To enjoy the adventures Norway has to offer, you need to be

fit. Going on mountain hikes, kayaking across lakes, and going
on bumpy husky sled rides requires a lot of stamina.
Prepare to spend money
Norway is an expensive country as tax rates are very high.
Prepare to stock your wallet with lots of Norwegian kroner,
especially if you’re planning on having a bottle of wine with
your dinner!
Don’t expect the Northern Lights
Although Aurora Borealis is a common sight, there is simply
no guarantee you will witness its beauty. Under the right
circumstances, though, the chances are high.
