Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bear in mind that during most of the year, you can chance to experience several of the 4 seasons during 24 hours.. Once it snowed on the 12 of june, and I have seen snow less Yuletides with + degrees celsius. When packing clothing, remember that the weather just might turn nastier than you want to imagine, or better than you could hope for.Good walking shoes to get about.
Miscellaneous: Booze and tobacco is very expensive in Norway, so if you want to smoke in public or drink in private, whatever you have brought with you will not necessarily leave you skint.

Miscellaneous: One thing to 'pack' and bring with you, is your good mood like these two guys have :-)....

Actually; it's not that bad,not worse than other European capitals!

Photo Equipment: If you are coming from a country where the electricity plug is 3 pin (UK Standard) you should take with you an adaptor to 2 pin because you won't find it in NORWAY ,apparently it is not allowed to be sold

Luggage and bags: it depends on where you are going. if you are going to a city a suitcase is fine..but if you are going to the mountains i think rugsack is the best thing
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: in the autumn and winter you should bring really worm clothes because it might be really could, windy with snow or rain. in late spring and summer you could bring regular summer clothing.
but i specially recommend to bring an umbrella if traveling to Bergen and raincoats if travelling to Trondheim.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: bring what you normally bring the rest you can buy at the drugstore which is called 'Apotek'

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I visited Oslo in the spring, in April, but for me the thermometer was on wintertime. So bring warmer clothes than what you would wear at home, unless you come from the same hemisphere.
Miscellaneous: Art is everywhere, even sitting at an outdoors restaurant's table and dressed just right to never ever suffer the cold!

A: While it may not win international awards for the best airline in the world, Iceland Air is perfectly fine. As for safety, the last crash was in 1978.
