Norway is the most Northern of the Scandinavian countries and this is visible even from a quick look at the map. With the same look we may see that the most unusual and unique natural site for Norway will be the tremendous line of fjords, that lay on the north coastline of Norway. Those are one of the main tourist attraction of Norway, and are visited by milions of tourists by land and sea.
But Norway is not only fjords, it is one of the top destinations for ski tourism in Europe, due to its mountainous landscape and the long winter period. Another interesting site in Norway are its cities: the cosmopolitan and historic capital Oslo, the "Capital of the fjords" Bergen, the pilgrimage town of Trondheim, the arctic gateway Tromso or the oil capital of the north - Stavanger. All those cities deserve attention for their history, landmarks, and especially for their welcoming and friendly people, which are always ready to help and greet the visitor of Norway.
