Where Would You Spend Your Dream Vacation?



The answer to that question for me would be... NORWAY!

Yes, you read it right!

There are over 50+ tourist attractions to visit in the world when you decide to take that vacation with your loved one, family and friends. There are lots of places to visit and it can be challenging to pick a place to go to. And one of the most exciting country to visit and most people's first choice is, France. But let me take you somewhere else today.

First of all...        


What is Tourism/Travelling?


Tourism is an act of travelling away from your usual environment or comfy zone to spend some time in pursuit of recreation, pleasure, relaxation, business purposes etc, in another country. There are different types of tourisms which I'm pretty sure some of you know of already but if you don't know, GOOGLE is your friend. ðŸ˜‰

Alright, Done? Okay, let's move on...

Norway is a Nordic country in Northern Europe that comprises the western half of the Scandinavian peninsula and about two-thirds of Norway is mountainous with its much-indented coastline lie that is carved by the deep glacial fjords and has 50,000 islands in the country.

Norway has a mix of cultural and natural views/attractions. For me, I fell in love with the natural wonders the country is blessed with it. And that is why I would recommend that you visit some of these places and have a feel, memory of the natural and beautiful things created by God and man.

Now, if you do not want to travel with a tour guardian, well getting around Norway is quite easy and the sightseeing is endless. Ranging from the top-notch transit systems the country offers either by rail or coastal steamers, to the endless snow-capped mountain peaks, midnight sun and its stunning northern lights.

Imagining it already? Not to worry, I will definitely feed your eyes with fascinating pictures.😉

Norway is known as one of the World's prosperous nations that seem to have an eye-capturing museum that contains every important aspect of its rich cultural and social history. From the Vikings to seafaring, fishing, art and entertainment, spectacular scenery and so much more which are accessible to tourists.

Below are some places you should visit when you make that trip:

1. Jotunheimen

This is the largest region on the Norwegian high plateau with an area of 3,499 square kilometres which includes Scandinavia's highest mountains. Its the home for striking and breath-taking waterfalls, rivers, lakes, glaciers and wildlife. The two national park's mountains are more than 2,438 meters of which Galdhopiggen is the highest. Despite its heights, Galdhoppigen can be climbed in about four hours.

2. Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, Bergen

Oh My! Isn't this just beautiful? Now if you're an art lover then this is definitely a must-see for you. Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf is a vibrant painted area that was previously in the centre of trade, dominated by Hanseatic merchants. It has several historic buildings that portray life during the Middle Ages, as well as boutiques, restaurants, and the Bryggen Museum which has been open since 1872. Tourists could take a visit afterwards, to Troldhaugen the former home and workspace of composer Edvard Grieg.

3. Tromso

Now, this is my spot! And definitely the first place I would recommend that you visit because I love it. Remember the northern lights I mentioned above? Just in case, you don't know what it looks like just steal a glance by scrolling down for 5 seconds? Still staring?? Lol...

Yeah, I know you're in awe.

Tromso is located 349 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. Tromso was first settled in the 13th century as a fishing village and has been an integral part of the contribution of the area's maritime charm. For those hoping to see the Aurora borealis or northern lights (which is the first picture below), Tromso is the top destination to get that view.

Tromso is home to several fantastic museums and two are dedicated to studying life in the far north.
Polaria, which is the home that exhibits Aurora Borealis, effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems, Arctic wildlife which includes an Arctic aquarium.
Then, the Polar Museum that exhibits the long history of the fishing community, recent expeditions and scientific studies that delve into the world of the dark and cold deep sea of the Arctic.

Yeah, yeah I know you are eager and fascinated by what you've seen so far and want to know more but why not a trip and see it for yourself.

Don't hesitate any longer, click here and let's make that trip together.

Take pictures and videos to capture the moments, visit other places like Lofoten Islands, Sognefjord, Viking Ships Museum in Oslo and so much more.
