Hands down Norway is perhaps the most beautiful country in the world. And it is filled with stunning contrasts. Beautiful fjords dominate the coastline, with steep, craggy mountains on the side. Go further in and the countryside changes to pine forests, lush green farms and dramatic vistas as far as the eye can see.
The land lends itself to outdoor activities, and it is one of the most exciting adventure-tourism destinations in Europe, whether it is in summer or winter. Cycling, hiking, white-water rafting, skiing, and dog-sledding are some of the adrenaline-pumping activities that you can participate in when you visit. And of course, there are the amazing northern lights in winter to make the trip complete.
The wildlife in Norway is perhaps the best in all of Europe. On land and in water, the sheer variety of wildlife will leave you breathless.
As beautiful as the outdoor is, the urban life is no less vibrant. The country’s cosmopolitan cities throb with a culture and sophistication that has been kept alive through the ages. There are festivals and cultural events, and food is a passion that is reflected in every meal that you will relish.
