We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Norway. They said...

"Norway is a particularly inviting country for retirees due to its high quality of life and excellent infrastructure. With stunning and varied natural landscapes, from the rugged fjords to the verdant valleys, a peaceful and picturesque environment awaits retirees. Retirees have access to a variety of leisure and recreational activities, including skiing and snowshoeing, camping and hiking, sailing, fishing, golfing and sightseeing. There is something for everyone, whether you prefer an active lifestyle or a more relaxed one. While there is no specific expat community in Norway, retirees will find a great sense of community amongst the locals and other expats who have come to call the country home. Norwegians are known to be generally friendly and welcoming, and there is a wide selection of English-language services and social activities. The country is also packed with cultural attractions, such as art galleries, museums, festivals, concerts and dance performances. For those who are keen to explore the local cuisine, there is no shortage of traditional Norwegian dishes to sample. And for nightlife, there's a lively bar and club scene in the larger cities, with plenty of options for all age groups," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Norway.
