How they compare
The verdict
For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Italy leans cultural + city, while Norway leans nature + mountain. Italy wins on value (~$160/day mid-range vs $230/day in Norway), but Norway tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.

Pick Norway if…
