Norway holidays

Discover pristine natural beauty, from the deep blue fjords and vast wilderness of the Jostedalsbreen glacier to the sparsely-populated Arctic islands. Cosmopolitan Oslo is packed with museums and eclectic bars, but escape the capital to find remote villages of wooden houses nestled deep in the mountains. Visit in summer to make the most of never-ending days under the midnight sun.

Carefully selected Norway hotels

Best hotels in Norway for all types of traveller

Norway welcomes visitors to its clean, well-organised cities: Oslo and Bergen. However, the Norwegian capital is miles away – in distance and character – from Bergen, with its brightly-coloured waterfront houses. The Arctic cities of Bodo and Tromso are also worth a trip; and despite being the country’s fourth-largest city, discover the natural beauty surrounding Stavanger. It presides over fjords, mountains and sandy beaches. If you love nature, Norway's dramatic mountains and crystal clear waters are hard to resist.

Take a break in Oslo’s cultural city centre at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel. After days exploring the best of Oslo, unwind in the hotel’s indoor swimming pool and relax in the sauna, or visit the state-of-the-art gym. Taste Nordic dishes or sip a nightcap in the rooftop bar, 34th Restaurant & Bar, and soak up the glistening views of the city.
