Fun Facts About No Time To Die

The hardest stunt was when Bond jumps off a bridge to a car chase and then a motorcycle jump. This was particularly difficult because the roads in Matero, Italy, are paved with cobblestones.

Daniel Craig found this part particularly demanding and decided that this would be his final Bond film. He was reportedly offered $100 million if he would commit to doing two more Bond films but he turned it down. No more Daniel Craig James Bond!

James Bond’s love interest, Dr. Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) is the only love interest that makes a second appearance in a Bond film. Lea Seydoux was surprised to be asked back. 

What is Norway Famous For?

The first few scenes that open the movie are shot in Norway. So what is Norway famous for? Let’s start with the fact that it is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. When you think of Norway you probably think snow, skiing, and fjords. And you’d be right. 

Norway sits very high in the north and has similar seasons to Alaska. Between November and January, there’s no sun at all. And from May to July, the sun never sets. 

Norway has incredible landscapes, a rich history of Viking and Celtic folklore, and is home to many Arctic animals such as the polar bear.

Norway is considered to be very safe. In fact, I know someone who lives there and she has said there’s no real crime. She never locks her car or her apartment. 

And one final fun fact about Norway is that half of all cars are electric!

Unique Things to Do in Norway 

There’s plenty to do and see in Norway. Here’s a few ideas for you:

• Whale watching
• Surfing (yes!)
• Stay in an Arctic Dome
• Kayaking
• Visit Climate Park

Travel through the Laerdal Tunnel. This is the world’s longest road tunnel linking Oslo to Bergen. The tunnel is 15 miles long. 

Things to Do in Norway

If you go to Norway between September and March, you may have the privilege of seeing the Aurora Borealis. Other things to do include:

• Sailing
• Hiking
• Winter photography tour
• Snowshoeing
• Horseback riding
• Biking
• See the Northern Lights

No matter what time of year you visit Norway, there’s always something fun to do!

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Thoughts

If you never considered visiting Norway before, perhaps you’ll consider it now. I know it’s definitely on my bucket list! It can be expensive to visit so you should plan to spend about $100 per day. Of course, some days will be more expensive than others depending on what sights you plan to see. At the time of this article, $1 converts to 9.79 Norwegian Krones.
