In Northern Norway, the sun never sets during the summer months. Go on a midnight sun cruise, join a safari or play golf in the middle of the night.

Norway is a long and mostly narrow country, with great variations between its regions. The most spectacular fjords are in the west, the clearest traces of medieval times are to be found in central Norway, while the midnight sun is in the north.

Along parts of the coastline, the sea penetrates deep into the mountain wilderness and form the world-famous Norwegian fjords.

Because of the Gulf Stream, Norway has a friendlier climate than the latitude indicates.
