Norway

We went three times to Norway (2018, 2022 and 2025). In 2018, we made a short stay in Olso, then flew to Tromso. In 2022, we flew to Tromso and drove to Senja and then to the Lyngen Alps. In 2025, we visited the Lofoten Islands, The vEsterlalen and Senja again.

We visited Olso in January 2018 before traveling to Tromso and grab some incredible northern lights images. We visited Norway again in 2022, and spent time in Senja and the Lyngen Fjord. In 2025, we visited the Lofoten, the Vesteralen and Senja again.

OSLO

Olso is the capital you would expect. A royal capital for a small and definitely northern country.

“Oslo’s skyline might be crowded by cranes but this rapidly growing urban metropolis is also one of the world’s most overwhelmingly green cities. It has earned the honour of being named European Green Capital for 2019, via one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world, excellent and well-patronised public transport, and a real commitment to sustainable food production and green space. The city is blessed with a large number of bucolic parks, and the Oslofjord’s waterways and islands are just minutes away from the centre, as are the ski slopes and forests of Nordmarka.”

AURORAS

Tromso's latitude is the aurora latitude. Get there, you won't be disapointed!

Tromso is the ideal place for observing auroras. The municipality is warmer than most other places located on the same latitude, due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream and the auroras are visible most of the winter. We took the minibus to drive to auroras locations and spent 2 complete nights (from 6pm to 3am) enjoying the wonderful ballet of lights.

FJORDS Around tromso

Fjords are whats is left of the ancient glaciers. They are wonders to visit, and they're atmosphere is unique.

Visiting fjords was one of the most impressive experience. Great lightning, peaceful places, fjords are what’s left after the glacier melted, and you can find a lot of them around Tromso: Ersfjorden, Nordfjorden, Sorfjorden, Kvaloya, we visited a couple of them, whether at night looking for aurora borealis or during the day.

SENJA

We drove from Tromso to Senja. Since we were visiting in winter, there a re no car ferries, you simply have to make the trip from the southern part of Tromso and to Senja. It's about a three and a half hours drive. We stayed at Mefjord Brygge hotel, every spot was pretty close to the fjord. Here a few shots from driving along the scenic road.

LYNGEN FJORD

We started by booking the amazing Lyngen North 360 Igloo. In front of the igloos stand the amazing peaks of the Lyngen alps, which provides an amazing landscape surrounding for aurora shooting (see above in the aurora section) .

The Lofoten

Peaceful fjord

Our trip to the Lofoten Islands was simply unforgettable. From the first moment, we were immersed in that unique Norwegian atmosphere — wild, peaceful, and authentic. We had worried about the weather, but in the end it gave us a little bit of everything: cloudy skies most of the time, bursts of sunshine, and even some rain that only added to the charm of the landscapes.

We stayed in traditional rorbus right by the water — cozy cabins that became our home base. Some days we cooked with groceries from small local shops, and other times we enjoyed fresh fish and local specialties in nearby restaurants. Our days were filled with adventures: hiking to spectacular viewpoints, kayaking along fjords, taking boat tours, and simply relaxing in our rorbu, listening to the wind and the sea.

One magical evening, we even stayed up late to watch the northern lights. When they finally appeared, dancing across the sky in shades of green, it felt like a dream come true.

The Lofoten Islands gave us a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and tranquility — a journey we will remember forever.
