Norway is a photographer's paradise. From the dramatic fjords of the west coast to the Arctic wilderness of the north, this Scandinavian nation offers some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes. Whether you're a professional photographer or simply looking for stunning Norway landscape prints to bring home, these 15 locations will leave you speechless.
1. Lofoten Islands
No list of Norwegian photography spots would be complete without the Lofoten Islands. Located above the Arctic Circle, this archipelago is famous for its dramatic mountain peaks rising straight from the sea, traditional red fishing cabins (rorbuer), and incredibly clear turquoise water. The combination of midnight sun in summer and Northern Lights in winter makes Lofoten a year-round destination. Capture the iconic view from Reine or Hamnøy — these images make stunning Lofoten wall art for any home.
2. Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock)
Preikestolen is one of Norway's most iconic viewpoints — a massive flat cliff rising 604 meters above Lysefjord. The hike takes about 4 hours return and rewards you with jaw-dropping views of the fjord below. Early morning visits offer the best light and fewer crowds. Images from this vantage point are among the most popular choices for canvas prints in Norway-themed wall art.
3. Trolltunga
Trolltunga ("Troll's Tongue") is a rock formation that juts horizontally out from a mountain 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. The 22km round-trip hike is demanding but the views are extraordinary. Go in late summer (July–September) when the trail is snow-free. This dramatic landscape is a favourite motif in Norwegian nature photography.
4. Geirangerfjord
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Geirangerfjord is arguably Norway's most famous fjord. The deep blue water, dramatic waterfalls like the Seven Sisters and the Bridal Veil, and steep mountain walls create scenes of incredible beauty. Take the ferry from Geiranger to Hellesylt for the classic shot.
5. Nærøyfjord
The narrowest fjord in Norway — and another UNESCO World Heritage Site — Nærøyfjord is just 250 metres wide at its narrowest point. The towering walls reflect in the glassy water, creating mirror-like images that look almost unreal. Kayaking through the fjord gives you the most intimate perspective.
6. Ålesund
Ålesund is Norway's art nouveau city, rebuilt entirely in the style after a devastating fire in 1904. Climb the 418 steps to Aksla viewpoint for a panoramic view over the city's colourful buildings, bridges, and surrounding islands. At dusk, the warm light turns the whole scene golden.
7. Jotunheimen National Park
Home to Norway's highest mountains, including Galdhøpiggen (2,469m), Jotunheimen is a paradise for landscape and mountain photography. The Besseggen ridge hike, with its stunning views over the green Lake Gjende and the blue Lake Bessvatnet, is one of the most photographed hikes in Norway.
8. Hardangerfjord
Known as the "Queen of Fjords," Hardangerfjord is especially spectacular in spring when the apple and cherry orchards along its shores burst into bloom. The combination of flowering trees, snow-capped mountains, and deep blue water is uniquely Norwegian — and perfect for canvas prints.
9. Trollstigen
Trollstigen ("Troll's Ladder") is a legendary mountain road with 11 sharp hairpin bends. Photographed from above at the national tourist route viewpoint, the road creates a dramatic zigzag pattern through the steep mountain landscape. The viewing platform gives you a bird's-eye perspective that's hard to match.
10. Svalbard
For the most remote and adventurous photographers, Svalbard (Spitsbergen) is the ultimate destination. Located halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, this Arctic archipelago offers polar bears, walruses, glaciers, and — from late October to mid-February — spectacular Northern Lights prints opportunities.
11. Innerdalen
Often called Norway's most beautiful valley, Innerdalen sits hidden in the mountains of Møre og Romsdal. The valley offers perfect reflections of surrounding peaks in its lakes and is relatively uncrowded compared to the more famous spots. A true hidden gem for Norwegian nature photography.
12. Flåm & the Flåm Railway
The Flåm Railway is one of the world's most scenic train journeys, descending 866 metres through stunning mountain scenery to the village of Flåm at the tip of Aurlandsfjord. The Kjosfossen waterfall stop is an unmissable photo opportunity along the way.
13. Røros
A UNESCO World Heritage mining town, Røros is particularly magical in winter when the wooden buildings are blanketed in snow. The old smelting house, colourful timber houses, and reindeer in the streets create scenes that feel straight out of a fairytale.
14. Vesterålen Islands
Just north of Lofoten, the Vesterålen Islands offer similar dramatic scenery but with far fewer tourists. It's also one of the best places in Norway to spot sperm whales and orcas from November to January — combining wildlife and landscape photography in one trip.
15. North Cape (Nordkapp)
At 71°N, North Cape is the northernmost point of mainland Europe. Standing at the famous globe sculpture at midnight sun season is a bucket-list moment. The vast plateau, dramatic cliffs plunging into the Barents Sea, and endless Arctic sky make for unforgettable Norway landscape prints.
