Norway Travel - Rough Guides

Quiet for a thousand years since the marauding days of the Vikings, Norway often seems remote to outsiders, even mysterious â remarkable given its geographical position close to the heart of Europe.

Norway Travel Guide - Nomadic Matt

A lot of people skip Norway because of how expensive it is. It's true that Norway is not a budget destination.

However, Norway is so amazingly beautiful that I think you should find ways to work it into your trip.
