What and where is Norway

It lies on the western side of the Scandinavian Peninsula, bordering Sweden to the east and the North Atlantic Ocean to the west and north. Norway is a stunning Scandinavian country known for its dramatic fjords, northern lights, and pristine wilderness.

Why visit Norway

Visit Norway for its dramatic natural landscapes—fjords, mountains, glaciers, and the chance to see the Northern Lights or the midnight sun in the summer. Also enjoy outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, kayaking), fresh seafood, and vibrant cultural cities like Oslo and Bergen.

In winter, you can see the northern lights in the northern parts of Norway. It also requires clear weather and that the northern lights can actually be seen.

Hike or fjord-cruise through Norway’s dramatic fjords and mountains, and try kayaking, glacier walks, or skiing. Visit coastal towns and cities like Bergen, Ålesund, and Oslo for seafood, museums, and local culture, and go north to Tromsø or the Lofoten Islands to chase the Northern Lights - or the Midnight Sun.
