Scandinavia - Norway (PDF Chapter)

This is the Norway chapter from Lonely Planet’s Scandinavia guidebook.

Norway is a once-in-a-lifetime destination and the essence of its appeal is remarkably simple: this is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. The drama of Norway’s natural world ¬– of steep-sided fjords, grand glaciers and the primeval Arctic – is difficult to overstate.
