Norway is an incredible country to visit, and it’s very kid-friendly! If this is your first time traveling out of the country with your kids, Norway is a good first stop- it’s slower-paced, very friendly to tourists, and it is easy to find your way around the country and within the cities. Although everyone speaks Norwegian almost everyone also speaks English. The beauty of Norway is just unmatched and makes it one of the most memorable trips we have been on. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
Keep in mind, this is just a small loop in a piece of the country and there’s tons more to do and see here. And there’s lots of blogs and recommendations out there. But hopefully this gives you a good idea of some of our favorites as well as what was realistic to do with 4 kids under 8 exploring the country in a week.
On this list you’ll find links to anything we booked tickets through, a description of the day, things to bring for each day, and my thoughts about how do-able it was with 4 kids under 8 / what their interest level would be for each day. Basically, you’re getting my entire packing list and all the notes in my head after each day of the trip and what I’d do differently if anything.
I’ve added a loose itinerary as well as a list of other places that I would totally recommend looking into or booking tickets for.
This guide is a lot of info all in one place! It’s perfect for those who don’t want to spend time researching a ton, and who want another parent’s perspective who traveled there with 4 kids.
I tried to include my thoughts, all the options you have at places, and little things to help you prepare for each of the destinations.
I also include my honest opinion of how do-able each place is with little kids.
