All guides

The guides hub is a library of essential-reading articles built around the questions that trip up first-time visitors. A Preikestolen guide covers the 8 km, 4-5 hour round trip, the 604 m plateau's total lack of safety railing, and the fact that the plateau and trail are free while only the trailhead parking is paid. A Kjeragbolten guide is blunter still: three chained sections, a 10-12 km round trip over 6-8 hours, and fatal falls on record, so it is never presented as an easy walk. A Lysefjord guide compares seeing the fjord — around 42 km long with walls over 1,000 m — by boat, from Preikestolen or Kjeragbolten above, or along the Lysebotn road.

A Stavanger city guide covers Gamle Stavanger's roughly 170 wooden houses, Stavanger Cathedral's consecration around 1125, and how the discovery of the Ekofisk field in 1969 made the city Norway's oil capital. A Ryfylke guide explains the Ryfylketunnelen, reaching nearly 292 m below sea level, and the 92 m Månafossen waterfall. A currency and budgeting guide is direct about Norway sitting outside the EU and the eurozone, using the krone (NOK), and being a genuinely expensive country. 97°N, shares the climate of Norway's Arctic north.
