Viking Blog

Here on Life in Norway’s viking blog, we dive into the history, lifestyle and culture to try to figure out what viking life in Norway was really like.

Norway and viking culture go hand-in-hand. While TV shows and movies have increased interest in the culture, there’s a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation out there.

Our aim is to bring you the most comprehensive and accurate viking blog on the internet. We scour the headlines to bring you news of the latest archaeological finds, and what they can tell us about how the vikings lived.

We also look in detail at some of the famous historic figures from the era, and everything about their culture from the food to the religion. If you think there’s an article missing, get in touch and let us know. Our research team is standing by. Enjoy!

Start by watching this video: It’s a look inside the Viking Village at Avaldsnes in western Norway. After that, scroll down to dig into the latest blog posts.

I hope you enjoyed that! Now, enjoy the latest Viking blog articles about the Viking Age in Norway, Scandinavia and beyond:
