We've found you some of the best deals on Norway holidays and flights to Norway. Just pick your fave and get ready for a northern adventure that'll knock your socks off.
When is the best time to visit Norway?
When planning a Scandinavian getaway, you need to know the best time to visit Norway. Truth is, Norway is a beautiful place to visit all year round, so it’s hard to go wrong. If you are planning a fun family holiday for fjord cruises and road trips, summer from June to August is the perfect time to visit. Norway's winter holidays are magical. From December to February, the landscape is draped in thick snow. You can enjoy the northern lights and go on ski holidays.
How to get to Norway for your holiday from the UK
Many of the UK's big airports have direct routes to Oslo. You can fly from London to Norway, departing from Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted. There are also direct connections to Oslo from Manchester, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Budget airlines usually fly to Torp Sandefjord, around 68 miles from Oslo. Oslo Lufthavn Airport is just 30 miles from the capital, but flights there usually cost a bit more.
Our favourite things to do in Norway
Take a cruise around the fjords
Here's one activity you can't af-fjord to miss. Norway's waterways are famous for their crystal clear water and serene beauty. Names like Nærøyfjord, Aurlandsfjord and Geirangerfjord may be almost impossible to pronounce, but when they're this stunning, who cares? Many travellers reckon that Norway cruises are the best way to see the country. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like seals, eagles, loveable puffins and, if you're lucky, even whales.
Experience the magical Northern Lights
Do you know the science behind the Northern Lights? To be honest, we're still not sure – but we do know that they'll take your breath away. The aurora borealis lights up the night sky in the far north of Norway every winter. Head to Tromsø, one of the world's northernmost cities, to begin your quest.
Feeling daring? Then, go even further north to the remote Lofoten Archipelago, where you can stay in a whimsical dome as you admire the Northern Lights. Talk about getting away from it all.
The far north of Norway is a great place for wildlife watching. Reindeer, moose and wolves roam freely here. However, the real prize for travellers is the chance to spot a polar bear in the wild.
Try some thrill-seeking adventure sports
Norway holidays are great for adrenaline junkies. Start by grabbing a paddle and heading for the rivers around Evje and Voss. These are some of the best spots for white water rafting in Europe. The rapids range from newbie-friendly to white-knuckle rides. That's just a warm-up, though.
Once you've dried off, make your way to the village of Flåm for Scandinavia's longest zipline. You'll hurtle through the air at 62 miles per hour, with just enough time to admire the lush green forests below.
Canyoning, bungee jumping, caving, kayaking and mountain biking are just a few more of the activities to try here. Oh, and we haven't even mentioned winter sports – Norway is a real paradise for skiers and snowboarders.
Be a stylish hermit on your own private island
There are over 320,000 islands and islets on Norway's rugged coastline. No, you probably won't have time to see all of them, but a few will definitely make a lasting impression.
We love dinky Båtholmen Island, which comes with its own tiny cabin for you to rent. This traditional cabin, complete with a firepit and private boat, is the ultimate hideaway. Fed up with crowds of tourists? There's no better place to stay.
Let your inner Viking roar as you explore Oslo
The capital of Norway is a modern, stylish city, but it's fiercely proud of its Viking heritage. If you've got a weakness for long hair and braided beards, head for the Viking Ship Museum. Here, you can see the world's three best-preserved Viking longboats.
The Viking Planet entertainment centre uses modern technology to bring the old Norsemen to life, immersing you in virtual reality films. There's also the Historical Museum, where you can see the only remaining Viking helmet on the planet.
Turn it into a Scandi road trip adventure
We adore Norway, but if you want an even more epic holiday, hop on the free ferry to Sweden. Turn your simple Norway holiday into a full-blown Scandi extravaganza by road-tripping around northern Europe.
FAQs about Norway holidays
Q: What is the cheapest month to visit Norway?
A: Norway's low season runs from November to March. On the downside, the days are very short during this time.

Q: Is Norway very expensive to visit?
A: Norway is one of Europe's pricier destinations, but with a bit of planning, even travellers on a budget can enjoy it. Shop in discount supermarkets like Kiwi and Rema 1000, and try the local cuisine rather than going for expensive imported goods.
Q: What is the best month to go to Norway?
A: If you want to spend time in nature, head to Norway from June to August. With round-the-clock sunshine, the Norwegian summer is great for travellers who like to keep active. You'll soon see how the Land of the Midnight Sun got its nickname.
Q: How much does a holiday to Norway cost in pounds?
A: Although Norway is on the expensive side, budget holidays are still possible. Expect to pay around £50-£70 per night for a double room. If you're happy with cheap street food options, you could dine for just £20 a day. £30 is more realistic for travellers who want to eat out at mid-range restaurants.
