About Norway
Dramatic fjords, midnight sun and dancing northern lights
Norway is nature at its most cinematic — glacier-carved fjords plunging to the sea, the jagged peaks and red cabins of Lofoten, and winter skies that blaze green with the northern lights.
Cruise the UNESCO Geirangerfjord, ride scenic railways past waterfalls, wander Bergen's Hanseatic wharf, and chase the aurora above the Arctic Circle — Scandinavia's wild, beautiful heart.
Local Culture
Norwegian culture is shaped by the sea, the seasons and a love of the outdoors (friluftsliv). Viking heritage, cosy hytte cabins, the hygge-like koselig, and a deep environmental ethic define a society that consistently ranks among the world's happiest.
