Norway Country Information

Country information

Norway's jagged coastline and enormous coastal fissures (fjords) are so magnificent, you'd be hard-pressed to dream them.

The western city of Bergen is a great base for fjord-forays, as well as an ancient fishing town, and home to many of Norway's coolest bands.
