Norway Country Guide

Norway is a land for nature lovers, with breathtaking fjords and glaciers, summer's midnight sun and a sparsely populated wilderness.

There are opportunities to indulge in skiing, fishing and rock-climbing, while the less energetic can simply marvel at the beauty of the Norwegian countryside, with its countless steep-sided valleys, high mountain lakes and unforgettable views.

Norway's four major cities offer distinct appeal - Oslo is the present-day capital and financial centre, Bergen is a picturesque former Hanseatic trading port and gateway to Fjordland, Stavanger is the focal point of the Norwegian oil industry, and Trondheim is a long-established centre of Christian pilgrimage, and more recently, technical research.
