Norway

One of the most naturally stunning countries in the world, Norway is famed for its glorious coastline of fjords, and its glaciers, peaks and valleys.

The Arctic north is a vast wilderness, where the northern lights brighten winter, and the sun barely sets at all in summer. Meanwhile, far-northerly Svalbard is also one of the best places in the world to glimpse polar bears.

Norway’s natural marvels are not the country’s only attraction, however. Cosmopolitan Oslo is filled with sleek modern architecture and a beautiful waterfront, while Bergen’s heritage as a Hanseatic trading port makes it an interesting diversion.
