During the summer of 2026, Norway has recorded an increase in tourism driven by the growing coolcation trend, joining countries such as Sweden, Finland, Spain, and Italy in this summer travel shift.

Tourists are increasingly opting to leave behind the high temperatures common in southern European cities like Madrid and Rome, instead choosing to visit northern European cities. Destinations including Oslo, Stockholm, and Helsinki are seeing a rise in visitors looking for milder summer climates.
