Home to fjords, mountains and miles of coastlines
The iconic Scandinavian nation of Norway is famous for what its residents call friluftsliv – their “love of the outdoors”. With its vivid beauty encompassing snowy mountain peaks, glacial valleys and glittering fjords, Norway is an adventurer’s dream.
Here, you can experience the majesty of lush green forests, cruise past dramatic cliffsides and take in the views from great heights. There are nearly 2,000 fjords along Norway’s rugged coastline, as well as over 200 tall mountain peaks.
As one of the three countries which makes up the Scandinavian peninsula, Norway has a rich Viking history and strong cultural ties to Sweden and Denmark. In its modern and bustling capital, Oslo, you’ll find many museums and art galleries highlighting the country’s storied past and present.
The New Nordic movement of the last few decades has seen the Scandinavian countries bring their traditional food in line with modern times. This means that in Norway you’ll find unusual cuisine, based on locally sourced food like reindeer, juniper berries and Arctic fish.
