Take LOTS of money ,, stay on the West Side ( less Mozzies ) Norway is HUGE !
Personally - I camp / cabin so I don’t know about hotels .
Sweden I found monotonous - trees - lakes - trees Lakes , more trees , more lakes . Finland ditto .
West side of Norway .
Advice - just go ,, it is a BRILLIANT riding destination ,, ( and I say this having ridden California to Alaska several times !
 
Got back from a 4 week trip to Norway last week - well worth the effort of going - I used this resource to help plan routes, I appreciate it costs but when you consider the likely cost of the trip it is not so bad.
 
My lad and I did a three week trip around Norway two years ago. Fantastic country to ride around with amazing scenery. Sort of Scottish highlands on steroids. We stayed in a couple of Aires b&bs but mostly hotels. We were advised to go to Lofoton islands rather than Nordkapp if we didn’t have time for both. This was great advice. The Atlantic Ocean road was not as impressive as I imagined and the Trollstigen was covered in cloud but a great ride nonetheless. I’m definitely not a city fan but a night in Oslo was fun.
 
I went to Noway last year, but flew and used the train. Going back this Summer to Bergen but flying - great country.
 
Car rental prices are blooming eye watering over there.
I looked at flying over to somewhere up north and hiring a car for a couple of weeks to do the northern areas.
I’m not normally tight when it comes to holidays but I thought bollocks to that. :D
