The food is bad, everything is super expensive, stores/services have odd hours, the people aren't exactly welcoming. Honestly - there are much better places to go and much better ways to spend your money in terms of travel IMHO.

As a Swede, I have to agree with all your points... though in saying that, I
d say a lot of the same about Sweden, lol.
Taking Hurtigruten up the coast to the very very north can be pretty cool.
Psst.. anyone interested in Hurtigruten (

Also, good airfares to Norway (and the rest of Scandinavia for that matter) right now too.
