Below is a selection of Norway travel itineraries to help in planning your next adventure. Timeframes are provided but each itinerary can vary depending on time spent sightseeing, excursions (hiking trips, etc.), and driving distances each day.

Norway is a big country and many of the itineraries are self-drive. For two or more people renting a car is surprisingly economical—vehicles in Bergen or Oslo can be found for around $350 USD per week. The roads in Norway are excellent so a smaller fuel-efficient car is fine. Other methods of transportation include domestic flights (a bargain in Norway), trains, buses, and the Hurtigruten passenger ships.
