When it comes to breathtaking natural beauty, Norway ranks among the top places in the world. Known for its spectacular deep fjords, rugged mountains and valleys, idyllic coastal towns, and a unique Viking history, Norway is a must-see in Scandinavia. Comprised of over 50,000 islands from North to South, a portion of the country lies above the Arctic Circle. The north is home to the Sami people, nomadic reindeer herders known for their handicrafts.
