Not every place suits every trip. Here is how the destinations differ, with the hotels we list in each and the guides that narrow the choice further.
Oslo is Norway's city break: grand hotels by Karl Johan, art and design on the Oslofjord at Tjuvholmen, and forest trails a metro ride above town. Choose it for culture, food and a long weekend; Bergen is the rainy harbour town by the western fjords, while the single hotels in Trondheim, Lofoten, Svalbard and Kolbotn are each about one kind of stay, from a historic grand hotel to mountains, Arctic nature or a large spa resort.
Bergen is the compact harbour-town counterpart to Oslo: five-star hotels a few minutes' walk from the fish market, Bryggen and the cathedral, in a rainy city long known as the gateway to the western fjords. Choose it for a short stay on foot or to begin or end a fjord trip; choose Oslo for the capital's museums, grand hotels and wider choice.
