Places You Shouldnt Miss On Your Trip To Norway

13 Mar 2013

For many potential travellers, under-the-radar Norway means little more than fjords, fisherman’s sweaters and Edvard Munch’s The Scream. But it’s this blank-slate unfamiliarity that makes the Scandinavian home of almost five million an exotic lure.

Oslo, of course, is the arrival point for most. But after hitting the capital’s surfeit of cultural attractions – including must-sees like the Akershus Fortress, National Gallery, Ibsen Museum and the Munch Museum – it’s time to spread your wings.

Lofoten Islands in the Arctic Circle: Home to moose, sea eagles, otters and puffins, all set around a beautiful coastline
