Norway is a large country
Norway is quite huge in comparison to other European countries. Norway covers 385,207 square kilometers (148,729 square miles) and has a population of 5,425,270 people as of January 2022. The country shares a 1,619-kilometer-long eastern border with Sweden (1,006 mi).
It is bordered to the northeast by Finland and Russia, and to the south by the Skagerrak strait, which is shared by Denmark and the United Kingdom. Norway has a long coastline that runs parallel to the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea. Norway's climate is dominated by the sea, with pleasant lowland temperatures around the coasts; the interior, while cooler, is still far milder than locations elsewhere in the world at such northerly latitudes. Temperatures above freezing are normal on the coast, even during polar night in the north. Some sections of the country experience heavy rainfall and snowfall due to the oceanic effect.
It can take over 40 hours to drive from Southern Norway to Northern Norway without stopping. It's unlikely that you'll be able to cram everything into a short trip, and even then, you'll have to drive.
Looking into Norway Tours is a terrific approach to explore the top places. These tours will handle your transportation so you can focus on seeing the sights rather than worrying about driving between cities. Otherwise, plan to spend enough time in Norway to complete your bucket list.
