Practicalities
Weather
The climate in Norway varies significantly and you need to be prepared for variations in climate on the same day. The temperate waters of the Gulf Stream tend to give Norway and our coastal areas a milder climate than other parts of the world that is situated at the same latitude. See forecast here.

Some nationalities are required to have a visa to visit Norway. Please check the link here if your country requires visa to Norway.
