Norway
Travel to Norway for a holiday or city break
Norway—some say it's a country where the sun forgets to set or rise, depending on the season. Your boots might get stuck in mud, but you will also see reindeer cross the road as if they own it. Popular things to do or visit? There is always a neighbor with a tale about the Northern Lights, and sometimes you hear tourists arguing about the best hotel in Norway, each convinced their breakfast was more mysterious than the other's. If you try to count the waterfalls, you will lose count before lunch. I once tried and gave up after number sixteen, distracted by a runaway sheep.

Travel destination popular things to do or visit in Norway
Travelers come for the fjords, then stay for the waffles. Some chase the midnight sun, others just chase their bus. The best hotel in Norway might be the one with beds, or perhaps just the one with power outlets that actually work—opinions differ, and the locals enjoy the debate as much as fish soup. Hiking up to Preikestolen, you will find more selfie sticks than hiking boots, and sometimes people forget their sandwiches at the top (please don't be that person). The air tastes like wet moss and old stories, especially after the rain.
Trains wind through mountains that look almost digital, and the souvenir shops sell trolls with big noses. You could spend hours in Oslo, or lose track of time in Bergen's fish market. Once, I tried to buy a coffee with the wrong currency and the barista handed me a cinnamon roll instead. If you want to see popular things to do, ask the locals, but prepare for a detour involving a boat, a mountain, and possibly a goat. Norway will trip you up, either in language or on an icy path, but that's all part of the fun, isn't it?
