Essential Facts and Insights About Norway
The name Norway is believed to come from an old English word meaning ‘northern way,’ ‘the land to the north,’ or sometimes interpreted as a ‘narrow inlet.’ Some traditions even link it to the legendary King Nor. Renowned for its unspoiled landscapes, Norway is admired for its mountain ranges and striking coastlines. Summers bring mild, pleasant weather with extended daylight hours, while winters are marked by frosty conditions and shorter days.
The Kingdom of Norway, situated at Europe’s northern edge, is celebrated for its natural beauty, from majestic mountains to dramatic seashores. This destination makes an excellent choice for a Europe trip, offering stunning fjords, giant glaciers, and fascinating island chains.

Travelers can uncover Norway’s cultural treasures, explore charming fishing towns, and experience lively cities like Oslo, Flam, and Bergen at a fraction of the price of a Europe tour package. For the finest Norway tour packages, discover the best travel options available.
