its grand mountains and renowned fjords to its advanced and developed urban communities norway is
perhaps one of the most beautiful nations on the planet truly amazing landscapes are eager to be
investigated by foot car bicycle or boat whether taking in the amazing marvel of aurora borealis
or the late spring sun shimmering on a glacier norway is an incredible experience in any season
here's a glance at some of the best places to visit in norway number 10 almost touch the north
pole from svalbard have you ever wondered what the northernmost point of the world is
well that of course is the north pole but not very far from it is a group of small islands that go
by the name of svalbard despite having a very harsh and challenging climate with temperatures
dropping to as low as -40 degrees celsius in the winter svalbard serves as a home to a couple
of thousand norwegians and is one of the most attractive locations in norway for the people
who are ready to test their limits the visitors come here mostly to experience the arctic nature
at its rawest and most intense the island has several untouched glaciers and displays
amazing wildlife of the arctic including polar bears whales walruses etc so if you think you
have the guts to face this challenge you know the place if not let's head on a little south to the
place where things are a bit more organized number nine hike up to nordcup high over the
arctic ocean nordcup has been one of norway's most famous vacation spots for quite some time
advertising itself as the northernmost mark of territorial europe the transcending seaside
cliff is set on the island of magoroya and it is closer to the north pole than it is to oslo
for quite a long time visitors have been drawn to the plateau's wild and remote setting
that offers stunning views over the sea it does get very crowded especially during the summer
months but the natural beauty of the cliff still makes a visit here worthwhile it is up to you
whether you want to hike there with the adrenaline rush kicking in or you could book a plane tour to
enjoy the views in the comfort of a bus seat you might be wondering norway was all about
the northern lights and beautiful fjords so where is all this coming from don't worry you will get
a handful of that too number eight see the sonia fjord the sonia fjord has popularly been nicknamed
the king of fjords it is rightly so the king of all the fjords in norway its deepest points going
as low as 1 308 meters and the length of more than 200 kilometers from the north sea cutting through
western norway up till the alpine peaks makes this fjord system the largest one in all of norway
in total the system holds more coastline than all of the italian and french rivieras combined while
it might be possible to see the whole fjord it has many sections each having its stunning views
of the cliffs sparkling waterfall picturesque landscapes and many beautiful valleys down below
narafjord is one such section in the system it is regarded in some of the most beautiful fjords
in the world apart from that there are a lot of other sites in the area as well houston's
bryn has the largest glacier in europe and it is a very popular site among tourists the centuries-old
churches in the main city are also worth checking out number seven do not close your eyes at night
if you really want to dream visitors often forget the image they had in mind of the lofoten islands
when they visit the place again this is because of the changing landscapes every season as the jagged
peaks respond to the changes in water level if you happen to visit in summers they will rise from the
sea in greens and yellows but displays a crisp blue aura when seen in the wintertime however
this does not affect the beauty of the night sky at all as you forget all the colors when
the northern lights start to sweep the skies there is no guarantee that the lights will always appear
but if you are lucky enough to catch them the lofton islands are one of the best places to be
in at the time with the sea stretching along the horizon as far as the eyes can see the open
skies above the island are the perfect projection screen for the light to dance and swivel around in
the curtains of green and white this experience is one of the likely few that will live on with
you forever so do not miss the chance whenever you get one number six drive the atlanta haas valley
the atlanta hasvayan is in simpler words the atlantic road it is a beautiful drive through
one of the most amazing places in norway it connects the mainland of norway with
a pretty island that goes by the name avarova green pastures and open fields are some of the
main attractions on the island the drive itself offers panoramic views of the distant fjords and
green landscapes over the endless oceans the cavanaugh state church is a must-see place
on the island as it is over six hundred years old making it one of the oldest in the region
while driving keep your eyes open for the storsa zanott bridge and mesmerize its construction over
the deep sea making the commute to this island possible let's drive back to the mainland and
grab a cup of coffee number five find the best coffee in oslo surrounded by the green slopes
and pinnacles norway's capital oslo is set in a beautiful spot toward the end of oslo fjord
fjord with plenty of lakes and islands close by a significant financial social and political center
the city has a long history that goes back over one thousand years while the capital is pretty uh
developed now and displays contemporary and modern architecture and its structures there are still a
few pockets of traditional wooden buildings which gives the city a very unique and contrasting look
the city boasts excellent art galleries and museums like the viking ship museum in particular
and has a busy schedule in festivities and thriving performing arts scenes oslo is best for
the fans of history as it has a large collection of museums related to norwegian history the green
spaces and forests are also very welcoming to adventurer enthusiasts as there are several hiking
and biking trails in the area too but we were here for the coffee why aren't we don't worry
tim wendell bow has got that covered for you just keep track of peak times as the place gets pretty
busy to accommodate everyone in its limited seating space number four take a spa boat ride
on the arctic circle you're not always mentally ready to repeat the tiring adventures every day
if you are in norway for a quick relaxing getaway there is a very luxurious spa boat waiting for you
at the docks of volcano in tromso just get your booking from them and let them wander you all
around the arctic circle while you relax in the hot tub enjoying the mesmerizing views or chatting
with your friends or simply having a glass of wine you can always take a quick dip in the
icy cold sea water for a little bit of fun number three strap on for the hootenheimen national park
towards central norway we have hooten hyman national park which boasts some of the best
landscapes and i dazzling scenery in norway more commonly known as the land of the giants the
park consists of some of the biggest mountain ranges of norway and has a beautiful showcase
of sparkling waterfalls and picturesque meadows overlooking many valleys and interlocked lakes
otenheimann is very popular amongst mountaineers due to its plethora of peaks and stunning natural
beauty so if you're up for another adventure this place has a whole menu for it number two look
for the puffins in ruined island runed is a tiny island to the south of ramoya island it is famous
for the enormous amount of birds some of which are only found in this region tourists usually take a
boat ride to the island but it is accessible by a bridge too if you want to keep your feet dry
this island may be a small one but it is nowhere less in beauty if compared to other
landscapes in norway do plan your visit in the season when birds are home otherwise you might
miss the chance of spotting thousands of puffins roaming in and around this unspoiled landscape
finally we'll head on to the norway we all have seen on the internet and in various pictures
across social media number one the gearing gear fjord you all must have been wondering by now that
okay all this is very pretty and all but this is not the norway we know or have seen on instagram
that is because we have not seen the garin gear fjord yet there are many fjords in all of norway
but some of them stand out and have made a name for themselves with all the amazing views
which makes the statement seeing is believing very true the garen garfiord is one of them
it lies towards the west coast of norway in the sun moore region this fjord like all the others
offers breathtaking sceneries with gigantic cliffs waterfalls views of the valleys and whatnot but
some just appeal to you more than others don't they that is the case with garen gare fjord
which has managed to make it one of the most famous and most photographed tourist
hot spots over the years with its warm cozy weather and some notable views like the seven
sisters waterfall because of its remarkable beauty many cruise ships and tourist visits go through
the fjord especially during the summer and spring months enjoying the view on board a
cruise ship is a luxurious experience in itself but hiking to the top of the fjord is an out of
this world experience that one should try to go for if possible just make sure to pack some warm
jackets and the necessary first aid equipment as it gets chilly up there even during the summers
