Guía de viaje del país

Norway stuns with fjord landscapes that define natural drama—steep cliffs plunging into deep blue waters, cascading waterfalls, and villages clinging to impossible slopes. This Scandinavian kingdom offers some of the world's most spectacular driving routes.

The Norwegian Scenic Routes program maintains 18 designated driving routes showcasing the country's beauty with architectural viewpoints. The Atlantic Road near Kristiansund hops across islands on wave-swept bridges. Trollstigen's 11 hairpin bends descend a steep mountainside with dramatic waterfalls.

The fjord region around Bergen includes Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord, both UNESCO-listed. The ferry connections between villages create scenic breaks in driving. Flåm Railway ranks among the world's steepest train journeys.

The Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle present dramatic fishing villages, midnight sun (summer), and Northern Lights (winter). The North Cape provides Europe's northernmost road-accessible point.

Oslo combines maritime heritage with world-class museums including the Viking Ship Museum and new Munch Museum. Bergen's colorful Bryggen waterfront (UNESCO) serves as fjord cruise gateway.

Norwegian cuisine has elevated traditional ingredients—fresh seafood, reindeer, and brown cheese—through New Nordic approaches. Fish markets and coastal restaurants excel.

Driving in Norway is on the right with excellent but expensive toll roads. An International Driving Permit is accepted. Many fjord routes require ferries—check schedules and book ahead in summer. Winter driving requires studded or winter tires.
