How to Dial a Norwegian Number
Norway's country code is +47. All Norwegian numbers are exactly 8 digits long and there is no city code to worry about — the entire country uses a single flat numbering plan. You don't drop any leading zeros (Norwegian numbers don't have them).
Just type +47 and then the 8 digits into the Give a Ring dial pad. The per-minute rate will appear below the number before you hit call.
🇳🇴 Surprising & Funny Facts About Norway
The Richest Country That Almost Missed Its Oil
Norway discovered oil in 1969 — and nearly sold its drilling rights for almost nothing. A Danish-American geologist had to convince a sceptical Norwegian government that there was anything worth drilling for at all. Today, Norway's sovereign wealth fund holds over $1.7 trillion, the world's largest. The geologist in question presumably does not struggle to find a dinner invitation.
The Sun That Refuses to Set
On Svalbard (Spitsbergen), the sun doesn't set for 76 consecutive days — from mid-April to late August. Locals hang blackout curtains and agree that "night" is whenever the clock says so. Midnight football, midnight barbecues, midnight confusion. Conversely, polar night lasts from late October to mid-February. Norwegians take both extremes in stride.
Norway Invented Salmon Sushi
The Japanese historically refused to eat raw salmon, believing it was full of parasites. In the 1980s, Norway spent years persuading Japan that Atlantic salmon was safe to eat raw — literally giving away fish to get Japanese chefs to try it. The gamble worked spectacularly: salmon is now one of the most popular sushi items globally. You're welcome, world.
A Coastline That Could Wrap the Earth Twice
Norway's coastline, including all fjords and islands, measures around 100,000 km — enough to circle the Earth 2.5 times. The country officially has over 50,000 islands. Several of those islands have a permanent population of one family. Norway counts them all, proudly.
Skiing Is Basically a National Religion
The word "ski" comes directly from the Old Norse skíð. Norwegians have been skiing for transport since before recorded history and have parlayed that into the most Winter Olympic medals of any country. The country has a population of 5.5 million and treats cross-country skiing the way other nations treat walking — as simply a normal way to get somewhere.
The World's Cosiest Prison
Bastøy Prison, on an island, is widely cited as one of the most humane prisons on earth: inmates live in wooden houses, cook their own food, cycle around the island, and work a farm. Norway's reoffending rate is around 20% — among the lowest in the world. Getting into Bastøy requires committing a crime, which remains inadvisable.
🗺️ What Are the Best Places to Visit in Norway?
Geirangerfjord — UNESCO Masterpiece
Sheer cliffs rising over 1,400 m from the water, the Seven Sisters and Suitor waterfalls, and crystalline blue water. In summer, cruise ships navigate this fjord and look comically small beside the mountains. Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord are jointly listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Lofoten Islands
Jagged peaks rising straight from the Norwegian Sea, flanked by red and yellow fishing cabins (rorbuer) on stilts, vast colonies of puffins, and Europe's best Arctic surfing — with a relatively mild climate thanks to the Gulf Stream. In winter, the Northern Lights dance above the villages. In summer, the midnight sun turns the sky improbable colours.
Tromsø — Capital of the Northern Lights
Inside the Arctic Circle and widely considered one of the best places on Earth to see the aurora borealis. From September to March, the sky regularly ignites in green, pink and violet. The city also has a university, the world's northernmost cathedral, an Arctic aquarium, and an excellent fish market.
Preikestolen — The Pulpit Rock
A perfectly flat cliff ledge at 604 m above Lysefjord — one of Norway's most iconic views. Reachable by a 2–3 hour hike from the trailhead. There are no railings at the edge. The view is worth every step and every slightly wobbly moment at the top.
Bergen — Gateway to the Fjords
The Hanseatic wharf of Bryggen (UNESCO) lines the harbour with colourful 14th-century wooden buildings. The Fløibanen funicular climbs to a viewpoint over the city and fjords. Bergen averages around 240 rainy days per year; its inhabitants consider this a character-building feature rather than a flaw.
Oslo — Modern and Ancient
Home to the Munch Museum (including "The Scream"), the 14th-century Akershus Fortress, and the Oslo Opera House — whose sloping white roof is a public walkway with views of the fjord. Vigeland Sculpture Park contains over 200 bronze and granite figures by Gustav Vigeland, including the famously furious "Angry Boy" who has been stolen and returned several times.
