Norway

With nearly one quarter of its land inside the Arctic Circle, Norway is relatively unknown to many visitors. The fjords are perhaps its most famous characteristic, channels that splinter the coastline revealing glorious scenery, but there’s much more to this mysterious, magical land than its western reaches.

Camping in Norway is really the best way to become well acquainted with the country. It’s a place that lends itself to touring – the inky blue of the fjords, the crisp white of the snow-laden mountains, and the lush green of the forests provide contrast you’ll never tire of. There’s something new to discover, from the modern vibe in Oslo to the relaxed, edge-of-the-wild feel in Trondheim.

One of the highlights of a camping holiday in Norway is the opportunity to try Norwegian cuisine. The seafood is first-rate, with stockfish and salmon being particular delicacies, and lamb is also a popular dish, especially in autumn time.

Shopping in Norway

Norwegian Troll

Norway might have a shorter fashion history tradition than many European countries. Still, interest in Norwegian design and architecture has grown significantly in the last decade. Strong, locally oriented designers and creators have combined old Norwegian traditional materials, such as wood, leather, and wool, with contemporary styles from Scandinavia and beyond. Names such as Norway Designs and Pur Norsk in Oslo are just a few examples of places emphasising home design by local designers and producers.

There are a few souvenir options to take home with you; Norwegian clothing is renowned for focusing on functionality, sometimes minimalism, and bright colours. Look for high-quality wool and knitwear, and benefit from the fact that the art of knitting has long traditions in Norway. More typical souvenirs to take back home with you are the mythical Norwegian trolls, local jewellery, or sheep and reindeer skin, which can be bought at most tourist destinations. Local food delicacies are sausages, fenalår (the traditional dried and salted leg of a lamb), award-winning mountain cheeses, and local brews.

 Most shops in Norway open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Many shops are closed on Sundays. Most Supermarkets stay open until 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday, they can remain open until 10 p.m. Shopping centres have extended opening hours Monday to Friday from 10a.m. - 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
