Norway – 10 Day Itinerary
10 day itinerary for Norway in May or spring time. Hiking, fjords, tours, nightlife, and more.
I visited Norway in 10 days which sounds like a lot of days, depending on who you tell, but I have to say it was NOT ENOUGH.
But! It was my first time in Norway so I didn't want to take the gamble of spending more than 10 days in a place that might (or will) empty my wallet dry.
Here is a high level view of my 10 day itinerary:
- Oslo (day 1)
- Bergen (day 2-4)
- Oslo (day 5-6)
- Andalsnes (day 7-8)
- Oslo (day 9-10)
