Stunning Northern Norway Summer Months Holidays
While many travellers associate the Arctic Circle with the Northern Lights and winter activities, the 24-hour daylight over the summer months is a fascinating time to visit Norway, with hundreds of destinations to explore, from following the Akerselva canal through Oslo’s hip city neighbourhoods to zip-lining, outdoor cinemas or visiting the quirky islands in the Oslofjord.
Norway’s capital offers activities the whole family can relish, with the heated Frognerbadet Open-Air Public Bath equipped with a water slide and diving towers, contrasting with cultural destinations such as Oslo Opera House, the National Theatre and the fine dining you expect on a luxury city break.
During the summer, travellers who visit Oslo can expect fewer crowds and a broad choice of holiday packages, soaking in the breathtaking fjords, unwinding onboard for a day at sea, or exploring the cafes and sites of this captivating capital in Northern Europe.
Outdoor Adventures for Your Norway Holidays Itinerary
Norway is packed with incredible natural features, from the famous fjords to beautiful scenery dotted with snowy peaks, historical sites and tiny villages, with countless hiking opportunities across the high mountains to explore the tranquillity and peace of the North Cape. We recommend a hike to the Hardangervidda mountain plateau for the most impressive views.
Family-friendly Norway holiday packages can include trips to quiet, sandy beaches and the natural beauty of the national parks alongside sailing to the Lofoten Islands. In the archipelago, visitors can discover the Eggum amphitheatre space created by the Oslo Opera House designer to provide an unbroken and truly unique vista.
Travellers keen to visit the more remote areas around the Norwegian fjords can glimpse rare and striking species, such as white-tailed eagles, whales, oxen, and puffins, best seen from a boat or the windows of your carriage as you travel through the countryside on the Flåm Railway.
Norway Holidays in the Midnight Sun Season
Today, Oslo is an ultra-modern city, but it is also one of Norway's best destinations to learn about its rich, diverse history, with the Viking Ship Museum in the Bygdøy peninsula an absolute must-see. The museum is well worth the trip, with no less than three original Viking vessels and artefacts.
Visitors can combine city breaks with countryside outings, with plenty of options to schedule your Norwegian holiday so that your tour starts in a convenient place, whether a train trip across the national parks or a Hurtigruten cruise to experience some of Mother Nature’s masterpieces.
All Norwegian holidays are organised with attention to detail, and you can browse our ATOL-protected tours and holidays online or contact the Baltic Travel Company for more information about any of our holiday packages, with a personal service and flexible payment options as standard.
Adding excursions to your holiday packages beforehand is a fantastic way to relax, with every part of your booking taken care of, ensuring you can enjoy the majestic fjords and natural beauty of Norway holidays and make the most of your time in Oslo.
