Norway

"Unmatched natural beauty with deep fjords and northern lights."

Steep fjord hiking and sea kayaking in freezing waters.

Hearty root vegetable dishes and Nordic-style baked goods.

Fascinating Viking heritage and minimalist lifestyle.

June to August (Midnight Sun), October to March (Northern Lights)

Schengen visa required. Norway is expensive, bank statement requirements are high.

Can be tough. Mostly root vegetables, potatoes, and bread. However, supermarkets sell excellent frozen plant-based patties.

Download 'Vy' for trains. Buy your alcohol in duty-free before entering the country as domestic prices are astronomical.
