Norway is Europe's longest country, and almost all of it faces the sea. Glaciers spent ages carving the coast into fjords, narrow arms of ocean walled by cliffs, and the country grew up along them, fishing villages, painted wooden towns, and cities that still smell of salt. Travel here moves between water and mountain all day. A ferry across a fjord in the morning, a cliff-top viewpoint by noon, a harbour dinner at night. And in the far north, the country crosses into the Arctic, where winter skies carry the Northern Lights and summer never quite goes dark. It is a lot of country for one trip, which is why yours should be planned around what you love most.
