Norway

A Nordic country known for magnificent fjords, the northern lights and the midnight sun, with grand and varied natural scenery.

Norway lies in the west of the Scandinavian Peninsula, with a deeply indented coastline. The western fjord region is regarded as home to some of the most spectacular fjord scenery in the world, and Bergen is the gateway for exploring the fjords. In the north, Tromsø, the Lofoten Islands, Senja and North Cape lie near or above the Arctic Circle, where you can chase the northern lights in winter and see the midnight sun in summer. The capital, Oslo, combines museums with modern architecture. Summer (June–August) is good for fjord hiking and road trips, while winter is good for northern lights viewing and snow activities. Oslo Gardermoen Airport is the main international gateway.
