First Time Travelling in Norway

Hi all. Me and my girlfriend are planning to have our second year anniversary in Norway on May. Can anyone suggest a good accommodation that is affordable? As well as nice tourist spots we can visit. It would be much appreciated if anyone can give suggestions. Thanks!

Where in Norway?

Oslo, Bergen, Kirkenes? Norway is a huge country.

In Norway, I would suggest you go hiking. There is nothing so spectacular in Norwegian cities that you would not find in other European countries, but the nature is absolutely amazing! May is the very early beginning for some of mountain booths, where you could overnight and have a shower. Otherwise, you'd just be walking. You can plan a hiking trip between these summer houses. If your girlfriend is strong enough to keep up with hiking, you'll both like it! For overnighting in mountains, check out the Norwegian Trekking Association web site: http://english.turistforeningen.no/

May is too early for mountain hiking, there will still be lots of snow at higher altitudes.

If you're there on the 17th, don't plan any normal activities but watch the parades wherever you are, this is the national holiday.

May is a good time to visit the fruit producing parts of Hardanger (Sørfjorden) and Sogn. The trees blossom, the fjord is blue green and the mountains white...and so on...

Some log cabins work out cheaper than hotels. It is self-catering, but much cheaper.

Do spend a weekend in Oslo and Bergen if you possibly can. Two wonderful places.
