Experience an amazing summer holiday in Norway

Summer is the most popular time to visit Norway, and for good reason! The days are long and the nights are short in the months of June, July, and August, so you can spend more time sightseeing during your summer vacation in Norway.

Plus, with an average summer temperature in Norway of around 64°F (18°C) you can take advantage of the plentiful outdoor recreational activities, such as whale watching and scenic hikes in the fjords at places like Pulpit Rock.

Though many of Norway's top natural attractions can be visited in under a week from Oslo, summer is the best time to slow down the pace and venture further into the Norwegian countryside - either on your own or with a guide - on an itinerary lasting 8 days or longer.

To drive around the Norwegian fjords at a more relaxed pace and experience incredible roads like the steep, twisting Trollstigen or the dramatic Atlantic Ocean Road, we recommend 10 days or more for a summer road trip in Norway.

Summer is also ideal for travelling by train through the mountains to cities like Bergen or Trondheim, as well as for sailing on a Havila voyage or Hurtigruten cruise along the west coast with shore excursions in places like charming Ålesund and the arctic Lofoten Islands.

Thinking of a longer summer holiday in Norway? With about 2 weeks or more you can combine journeys by car, cruise ship and train into one epic summer vacation or even extend your tour of Norway to the other Scandinavian countries.

Just get in touch with the Norwegian travel experts at Nordic Visitor to make your summer visit to Norway an unforgettable and authentic experience!

Want to see the northern lights in Norway? Dark nights are required for viewing this natural phenomenon, so a Nordic Visitor winter tour in Tromsø or Kirkenes between October and April is best for a chance of aurora sightings.

Diane, United States

Classic Norway at Leisure, September 2023

Perfect for us

We wanted a tour where we travelled independently from a group and explored at our own pace. The Norway at Leisure tour was perfect for us. Having all of our travel and accommodations arranged for us made it easy to navigate a new country. We also appreciated having our hotels very close to train stations, museums and scenic areas.

Diane, United States

Wonders of the Norwegian Fjords, July 2023

The trip of a lifetime!

This was the trip of a lifetime. Norway is unbelievably beautiful and this trip with Nordic Visitor was amazing! The fjords were spectacular and the Norwegian towns and landscapes were charming. Our small group of 14 (plus the driver and tour guide) was perfect. Our group included people from the USA, Hong Kong and Australia, and all were very friendly and interesting. A perfect tour!

Julie, United States

Best of the Norwegian Fjords – Express, August 2023

Perfect for us!

Our trip was perfect for us! Being able to not have to plan and book hotels and transportation while getting to see and experience the very best of what Norway has to offer, was just amazing! We enjoyed the cities and towns while we were there. It was nice having that time to ourselves.

Alastair, Canada

Norway Road Trip - Complete, July 2023

Wonderful driving trip

We had a wonderful driving trip through Norway, with the opportunity to visit many of the larger towns and cities beginning with Oslo in the east, heading north (Røros was a delightful surprise) to Trondheim, then south to Bergen. We really appreciated the clearly marked map and all of the suggestions for things to do and see along the way. Check-in to our accommodation each day was easy and quick, leaving us more time to explore wherever we were. Thank you to Nordic Visitor for the help and organisation - you made it easy.

Gary, Malta

Scenic Norway - Classic, August 2023

Extremely well planned tour

The organisation of the tour was extremely well planned and was easily followed using the itinerary suggested for each day. We knew what we were doing before we left which helped a lot.

Ellen, United States

Best of the Norwegian Fjords, July 2023

So much to see and do

I travelled a good part of Norway via train, bus and boat to visit Oslo, Trondheim, Flåm, Bergen and back to Oslo. It was the best trip. So much to see and do every day. I was travelling solo and the itinerary was very do-able and easy to follow. I saw and did so much and came home loving Norway.

Leslie, United States

Norway Road Trip - Classic, August 2023

Comprehensive itinerary

The self-guided tours are the best way to go. Nordic Visitor provides a very complete and comprehensive itinerary that is very easy to follow. We were on our own daily time schedule so could stop wherever we wanted with no time constraints. The route took us through some extraordinary scenery and views. Norway is a gorgeous country with very friendly people.

Nanzin, United States

Lofoten & the Fjords, June 2023

An incredible time

Nordic Visitor made planning for the trip an incredibly smooth process. In particular, Juliana has been absolutely fantastic to work with. She went over and above to ensure we had a great trip, and we owe the success of our trip to her. She was always available for questions, guidance and was ever so responsive to anything we needed. Thank you for an incredible time, we will return to Nordic Visitor for planning all future trips in the area.
