Regions of Norway
While
Norway is known for its nature and fjord-lined coastline,
it has more to offer than breathtaking scenery.
Norway is also about
excitement, discovery and fun; walking in the footsteps
of the Vikings; riding on a reindeer sleigh; hiking, biking
and paragliding; or just sitting back and enjoying one
of the world-class cultural events.
Friendly, down-to-earth people, unique scenery,
summer nights bright as day and delightful snowy winters
make Norway a very special country. In summer, there are
plenty of attractions and activities to keep you busy - the
unspoilt open country of the Sámi people in the north
and fjords, salmon fishing and festivals in the south.
Southern Norway in particular is a great
holiday centre and deserves its nickname, the Norwegian Riviera.

What a land to discover... again and again and again.
Southern Norway
The sunny south and the Norwegian's summer playground, Vestagder and Austagder is famous for the delightful Skaggerak coast, delightful waterside towns and villages, sun and sailing.
Eastern Norway
From the bustle of capital city to wild dense forests through to the home of skiing, Eastern Norway incorporates Oslo and Telemark together with the other counties of Akershus, Østfold, Vestfold, Hedmark and Oppland.
Western Norway -
This is
Fjord Country!
If there is an area which the visitor must see this is it. It truly is Norway in a Nutshell from its rocky coastline, the second city of Bergen and magnificent waterfalls, to the wild snowy plateau of Hardangervidda. And of course the fjords. Prepare to have your breath taken away with spectacles suh as Geirangerfjord and Hardangerfjord and many others.
Central Norway
North and South Trøndelag are Norway's two central counties with the city of Trondheim at their heart. The countryside here is fertile and an important area for agriculture.
North Norway
The land of the midnight
sun north of the Artic Circle is a delight to discover. It is so rich natural beauty and culture. Finmark wraps itself around the tip of Sweden and Finland to touch the Russian border and here you can sample true arctic life. Here the sun will disappear in November and not return before January but despite this life is lived to the full and you can wonder at the Northern Lights as their colorful show plays across the skies for hours.
Svalbard
For the adventuruer, this arctic archipeligo is a group of islands north east of the Norwegian mainland including Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet and Barentsøya. 60% of the land is covered by galcier.
