Like most European countries located on the sea coasts, Norway has all the prerequisites for any kind of vacation. When deciding where to go, keep in mind that Norway has a wide variety of vacations.
Norway's beach resorts
Don't be surprised when people tell you about beach resorts in Norway. Despite the usual fame of the coldest country in Europe, Norway is also famous for its warm currents. It's very easy (and quick) to get sunburned under the northern sun. The opening of the swimming season in Norway begins in late May and ends around mid-August.
Of course, it's not much compared to Greece or Italy, for example, where in some places you can swim all year round. Norway is not a beach vacation destination. Nevertheless, you can visit the clean beaches of Oslo. Or, for example, the city of Stavanger in southwestern Norway. The best sandy beaches are in the south of the country, around Kristiansand.
There are beaches near towns such as:
- Bergen;
- Molde;
- Olesund;
- Trondheim;
Knowledgeable people talk about the popularity of nudist beaches in this country, so keep that in mind. And also white sand or small pebbles are amazingly clean, the Norwegians are very careful about tidiness in their country.

The Thermal Spas of Norway
There are thermal spas in Norway. And where would one be without them? After all, there are a lot of hot springs, which spa lovers couldn't overlook. For example, there is the town of Larvik, located in Westfall, just a 90-minute drive south of Oslo. There's also the glorious city of Geilo. Or Nourefiel, for example. And everywhere, you'll find good spas that use natural mineral waters from their own springs.
Now, Norway remains a country that offers the most diverse vacation, and it's thoroughly high quality. You can find the best deals on flights and accommodation in any city in Norway at tripmydream.
