However, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you leave the Schengen area.

Where to stay in Norway
The capital city of Oslo is worth the visit alone, but though Norway may be way up there it’s packing tourism destinations out the wazoo.
When you decide where in Norway you want to visit, I recommend reading hotel reviews on Tripadvisor, then booking your room through Booking.com (my favorite booking site).
And don’t forget, there’s always vacation rentals.Check out some of Norway’s beautiful vacation rentals here!
My personal recommendations:

Norway packing essentials
For your trip to Norway, you’ll want to pack the following:
– Norway guidebook: I prefer Rough Guides, but you can also find one from Rick Steves and Lonely Planet. Also check out this culture-centric guide from Culture Smart!
– Travel insurance. Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when you travel. World Nomads offers coverage for more than 150 activities as well as emergency medical, lost luggage, trip cancellation and more.
