Recently we went to Norway to hike the fjords, and here’s what we got up to — in case you were planning on a similar trip!

Mostly we spent time based on the island of Osterøy (an hour’s north of Bergen), but we also tacked a few nights in Bergen onto the end of the trip.

I always feel that reviews of travel destinations are missing a couple of things, namely:

  • A list of pros and cons so that you can evaluate, at a glance, whether it might be for you

  • Genuinely honest reviews

Not here: I’ve included a pros and cons list below, plus details of what we loved, as well as a few of the things we would maybe skip next time — plus the pros and cons of the accommodation we chose. Hopefully this’ll be helpful if you’re looking to create your own itinerary!

Norway is the perfect holiday for outdoorsy types — if you love a beautiful landscape, if you value peace, if you like to hike and don’t mind a bit of rain, then this location is for you. We loved it.

Love,
Alexina
