Norway is well known for its amazing and varied scenery. The gulfs, many high mountains on both sides, in the west are long and narrow. Norway was an old Viking kingdom. Economically it is known for its oil and seafood exports. Norway is a country with low population which is about only 4.76 million while its land area is as equal as Great Britain and Germany, about 385,155 square kilometers. Thus, for each inhabitant, there is 70,000 square meters of land. But the vast majority of the land is a rocky wilderness which is completely unusable for agricultural purposes. As a result, Norway has a large number of completely unpopulated areas, many of which have been converted to national parks.
In winter, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding are very popular. In summer, hiking and biking are good sports. For some people who love adventure, kayaking, rafting, cave or glacier exploration are good choices. Car tourists usually enjoy driving along the gulf and mountains. In short, Norway has a lot to offer you in terms of nature. Norwegians are very proud of their national parks which they strive to keep unspoiled.
You can see the polar day and polar night in north Norway. But you cannot see this marvelous sight in south Norway. The midsummer night of Oslo is very short, even simply does not have darkness. Norway is a Christianity country where the Luther churches belong to the government institutions. Christmas day and Easter are so significant holidays that many Norwegians will be away from work for one week or more.
