These fjords are flanked by steep cliffs and lush greenery, creating a picturesque and awe-inspiring scenery.

  5. Northern Lights: Northern Norway, particularly in the Tromsø region, is a prime location to witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, a natural light display in the Earth’s sky.
  6. Coastline: Norway has an extensive coastline with numerous islands, skerries, and picturesque coastal villages. The Lofoten Islands, with their dramatic peaks rising directly from the sea, are a prime example of Norway’s coastal beauty.
