Norway Airfares

By Lynne Christen: Norway is a land of Viking legends, shipbuilding and seagoing sagas. It is typically associated with vast fjords, dramatic glaciers and the astounding aurora borealis (northern lights). There’s no denying the “WOW” factor of Norwegian fjords as high vertical cliffs tower above laced by glaciers and waterfalls cascading down to the sea. The world’s three longest fjords are in Norway. Sognefjord is the longest fjord and Naeroyfjord and Geirangerfjord are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Urnes Stave Church and the rock carvings in Alta also make the World Heritage List. Along with its reputation as a rugged outdoor frontier, visitors also enjoy contemporary cities with world-class museums like the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo and delightfully unspoiled villages with virtually unpronounceable names. Highly recommended by many travelers: Norway in a Nutshell, one to thee day tours that travel the eye-popping journey from Oslo to Bergen by railway, boat and bus. Go!
