Mosquitoes are not a major concern in Norway compared to other regions of the world. Due to the country's cold climate, the mosquito population is relatively low and mosquito-borne diseases are rare. However, during the summer months, especially in areas with standing water, mosquitoes can become more prevalent.

Nidaros Cathedral, located in Trondheim, Norway, is a popular tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. Visitors to the cathedral may encounter some mosquitoes in the surrounding areas, particularly during the summer months when the weather is warmer.

While mosquitoes in Norway are mostly considered a nuisance rather than a serious health threat, it is still important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquito repellent, long sleeves, and mosquito nets can help protect against mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus, although the risk of contracting these diseases in Norway is low.
