Norway
Norway’s main destinations include everything from the urban vibe of Oslo to the wide views at The North Cape.
Cutting edge architecture and old wooden houses, fascinating street art and modern museums, Nordic cuisine and pavement cafes – on a weekend trip to a Norwegian city, you’ll get big experiences with a small town vibe.
Oslo
As one of Europe’s fastest growing cities this decade, Oslo is buzzing with energy from new neighbourhoods and cutting-edge food, to fashion and art scenes. Captivating landmarks like the Opera House, the Astrup Fearnley Museum and Barcode are changing the face of the city, and Oslo maintains its refreshing closeness to nature that few other capitals can match.

Kirkenes
The small town of Kirkenes is located northeast in Northern Norway, close to the Russian border. Kirkenes is known as the capital of the Barents Region and the gateway to the east.

The Fjords
The striking landscapes of Fjord Norway were created by a succession of ice ages, and the characteristic landscape hasn’t changed a great deal since people started living here. Fjord arms and waterfalls are accessible virtually everywhere you go, and UNESCO has included the west Norwegian fjord landscape, exemplified by the Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord, on its prestigious World Heritage List.

Bergen
Bergen is also often called “the city between the seven mountains”. By far the most easily accessible summit is Fløyen, 320 metres above sea level. It is connected to the city centre by Fløibanen funicular by a six-minute ride. All over the city, you can admire dense collections of spray-painted glory thanks to world-class street artists from near and far. Skostredet, perhaps Bergen’s most charming shopping street, is an ideal starting point for a self-guided street art safari.
