    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    The lights are a numbers game

    The aurora needs darkness and a clear sky, not just the right season. Give yourself at least three nights up north to beat the cloud. A guided chase that drives to wherever the sky is open beats sitting at one spot hoping, and a tripod with a 5-10 second exposure catches colour your eye barely registers.

    2

    Everything costs

    Norway is one of the most expensive countries on earth. A beer can run past 12 euros and a sit-down dinner climbs fast. Buy alcohol at the airport on arrival (the state Vinmonopolet is the only shop and keeps short hours), and lean on hotel breakfasts and supermarket lunches to keep the daily spend sane.

    3

    Norway in a Nutshell

    The famous Oslo-Bergen run links the Bergen Railway, the steep Flåm cog line and a fjord cruise on the Nærøyfjord into one day. Book it as a packaged ticket ahead, sit on the right leaving Flåm, and don't expect a guide; it's a self-led chain of connections and the scenery does the talking.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    Norway runs on two seasons worth travelling for. June to August brings the midnight sun, the fjords at their greenest and every cog railway and cruise running. The summer peak. Late September to March is the aurora season up north, cold and dark enough for the lights, with December to February the deepest. April-May and October are quiet shoulder months, the fjords thawing or the first snow falling.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Lights chased — Tromsø, Norway

    Day 2. Lights chased from the bus

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    The aurora hunt out of Tromsø ran late into the cold, the bus driving until the cloud broke. When the green finally came it shifted slow overhead, and the whole frozen lot of us stood silent watching it.

    Tromsø01
    palace — Lisbon, Norway

    Day 6. A palace in the hills above Lisbon

    Day6
    ✦ Memoir

    Sintra rose into misty hills above Lisbon, the Pena Palace painted in reds and yellows like a fairground. Cascais after was all tile and Atlantic light, and we ate custard tarts still warm on the way back.

    Lisbon02
    Paris, Norway

    Day 7. The Seine in the late light

    Day7
    ✦ Memoir

    Paris came after the north and the Atlantic, and felt like a third country entirely. The Louvre swallowed an afternoon, then a slow cruise on the Seine took us under the bridges as the light went gold on the stone.

    Paris03
    Paris, Norway

    Day 8. The city flat from the tower

    Day8
    ✦ Memoir

    We went up the Eiffel Tower on the last full day and Paris lay out flat and grey-gold to the edges. Three weeks of country in nine nights, and this was the quiet, satisfied end of it.
