1. North Cape
The North Cape is a 1000ft cliff that offers spectacular views to the
quarter million visitors each year. Referred to as the northern most
point in Europe, it is situated in the Finnmark region, also known as
Norwegian Lapland and is on the same latitude as Greenland and Alaska.
From here you can visit a nature reserve that hosts 2 million seabirds
or try midnight deep water rafting (there is no sunset). In the winter
the visitors stand on the snow covered cliffs to witness the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).
2.Kirkeness Snow Hotel
If you like snow, why not visit The Kirkeness Snow Hotel in Norway? You can visit this hotel from 21st November – 21st
January and witness the Polar nights. The hotel offers beautifully lit
snow art and from mid December offers Snow Suites. These rooms are for
20+ guests who each receive a sleeping bag and mattress. The rooms of
course are snow and ice and once again offer some brilliant examples of
snow art. In the morning you can warm up with a sauna. The hotel also
offers a snow bar and a snow free restaurant.
3. Geirangerfjord
The Geirangerfjord is popular with visitors, so much so that nearly
every Norwegian Cruise ship has Geiranger on their itineraries. This
high sided fjord is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features three
magnificent waterfalls; the seven falls of The Seven Sisters, The Veil
and the Suitor. Activities available at Geirangerfjord are hiking,
fishing and renting boats and kayaks. There are also sightseeing tours
across the fjord on offer

The Changing of the Guard in Oslo is a big tourist attraction and
takes place at 1:30pm every day regardless of the weather. Members of
the King’s Guard march from Akershus Fortress at 1:10 in order to change
the guard at the Royal Palace at 1:30pm. In the summer the guard is led
by mounted policemen and a military band. On Norway’s Constitution Day
(17th May), it becomes a city wide event with the Royal Family and marching bands joining the guards on their march.
5. Hellmenkollen Ski Jump
Probably the most popular of the things to see in Norway is Hellmenkollen
Ski Jump. Located just outside of Oslo the capital, Hellmenkollen is
popular with native Norwegians and visitors alike and although most
people visit in the winter to take advantage of the winter sports
activities available, many also visit in the summer for orienteering,
cycling and fishing. It is also home to the famous ski jumping simulator
