Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Norway: What You Need to Know
Norway is a Scandinavian kingdom of 5.5 million people and a Schengen member via its EEA/EFTA membership. It is one of the world's wealthiest countries (sovereign wealth fund exceeding $1.7 trillion) and has some of the planet's most dramatic natural scenery: the famous fjords (Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord, Hardangerfjord), the Lofoten Islands' dramatic peaks rising from the Arctic Ocean, Northern Lights in the north from September to March, and midnight sun in summer. Oslo is a modern, design-forward capital with world-class museums.
How to Get There
Oslo is about 2 hours by direct flight from Luxembourg. Norwegian, SAS, and budget carriers serve the route. Bergen and Stavanger also have direct flight connections from Luxembourg and nearby airports.
Money & Banking
Norway uses the krone (NOK). Norway is one of Europe's most expensive destinations: a basic restaurant meal NOK 200-350 (EUR 18-32), hotel rooms NOK 1,200-2,500/night. Supermarkets (Kiwi, Rema 1000) offer good value for self-catering. Many natural attractions (fjord viewpoints, hiking trails) are free.
Practical Tips
Oslo: the Viking Ship Museum (extraordinary preservation), the Munch Museum (The Scream), the Norwegian National Museum, Vigeland Sculpture Park (free, 212 sculptures), and the Aker Brygge harbor. Bergen (gateway to the fjords): the Bryggen Hanseatic wharf (UNESCO), the Floyen mountain funicular, and fresh seafood at the fish market. The Bergen Railway (Oslo to Bergen, 6.5 hours) is one of the world's most scenic rail journeys, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1,300m.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Luxembourg citizens need a visa for Norway?
No. Norway is a Schengen member via EEA/EFTA. Luxembourg citizens travel visa-free with no border formalities.
Is Norway part of the EU?
No. Norway is not an EU member but participates in the Schengen Area and the EEA (European Economic Area), giving it very close ties with the EU single market. Norway uses its own currency, the Norwegian krone (NOK).
What are Norway's fjords and how do I visit them?
Norway's fjords are long, narrow sea inlets carved by glaciers. The most famous are Sognefjord (Norway's longest, 204km), Geirangerfjord (UNESCO, with spectacular waterfalls), and Hardangerfjord. Access from Bergen: take the Norway in a Nutshell tour (combines train, ferry, and bus), or rent a car to drive at your own pace.
Is Norway very expensive?
Yes. Norway is one of Europe's most expensive countries. Budget roughly NOK 200-400 for a basic restaurant meal (EUR 17-34), and NOK 1,200-2,500 for accommodation/night. Cooking your own food using Kiwi or Rema 1000 supermarkets significantly reduces costs.
What is the Flam Railway?
The Flamsbana is a 20km mountain railway running from Myrdal (on the Bergen-Oslo line) down to Flam village on the Aurlandsfjord. It is one of Europe's most scenic rail journeys, dropping 866m through waterfalls, dramatic gorges, and villages. It is a key component of the Norway in a Nutshell tourist route.
How do I get to the Lofoten Islands?
The Lofoten Islands (dramatic mountain peaks rising from the Arctic Ocean, traditional red fishing cabins called rorbuer, and extraordinary scenery) are accessed by flight to Bodo then ferry, or by direct flight to Leknes or Svolvaer from Oslo. The E10 road connects the islands for self-driving.
