Norway
Norway has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

From snow-capped peaks and cascading waterfalls to lush valleys, rugged coastlines, and picture-perfect fishing villages, the natural beauty here is unmatched. Norway is home to some of the world’s most incredible natural phenomena – the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter. Whichever time of year you choose to visit you will be blown away by Norway’s dramatic beauty and opportunities for outdoor adventure. Norway offers something for every kind of traveller.
