 View vacation packages to Norway
Norway is often described as one of the last great natural frontiers in the
world. It is one of the most beautiful countries with its
salmon-filled rivers, meadows, glaciers and mountains. If you visit Norway in
the winter you will be treated to the mystic aurora borealis, the northern
lights. If you plan a summer vacation you will experience the midnight sun.
The beauty of Norway extends beyond its natural scenery. There is an
abundance of culture and history in Norway. From its rustic building to its
folk dances, you will want to delve into Norwegian culture first hand.
Norway has quietly become a popular location for travelers, with Oslo being the main destination. The capital of Norway and one of the oldest Scandinavian cities, Oslo is filled with sites and attractions, fantastic restaurants and shopping opportunities. It
also has numerous historical and cultural sites to visit and explore.
Another possible reason for Oslo’s popularity is its location. Surrounded by
nature it is one of Europe’s most heavily wooded cities. Outdoor activities are
very popular in Oslo, from picnicing and sailing in the summer to skiing and
hiking in the winter.
Oslo’s location makes it the only major city in Europe that
offers fantastic skiing minutes away from the city center by local underground.
Even if you choose not to ski, you are only minutes away from beautiful
mountainous views. In Oslo you can combine an exciting city vacation with skiing
and other outdoor activities.
Long winter nights in Oslo make the city great for a romantic vacation.
Cuddle up next to a fireplace or dine by candle light. You will also find many
restaurants where you can dine and enjoy a glass of wine by an open fire.
