Stunning scenery, northern lights, midnight sun, fjords, fresh air, snow - and the list goes on Norway is becoming one of the "must visit" places both summer and winter.
Winter time is a magical time to visit Norway. In the north, the northern lights dance across the sky. In the south, people head to the mountains to ski or snuggle up in a cafe with a large cup of hot chocolate.
Yet, spring is not far away. Easter is the best time to head to Norway for some fresh powder skiing. The hills and mountains surrounding the deep fjords will soon come to life in flowers and greens.
And when summer finally arrives, the midnight sun in the world famous Lofoten Islands will awe anyone who finds their way north. Imagine a holiday when the night can be spent strolling along an empty beach in with the sun warming your face. Summer and spring is also when the fjord cruises really come into their own.
